Sorry, have to ask: Who else is STILL sick from CIII Imperial Influenza?
I'm just wondering how long this respiratory virus lasts since our family is going to Star Wars Weekend at Disney World in less than 2 weeks---surely by then we should all be better?!?! I caught it last and it's been about 1 week, but it feels like a month...

I finished the last dose of my Z-pack on Friday. I am still coughing a little bit, but mostly it is over. It is good I caught the pneumonia quickly and went to the doctor on Monday as soon as I got back.

Didn't get ill, but then I didn't stay in the Lucas line all night, did it 4AM on and stuill got in the first time. I did get the fourth bad sinus/allergy infection Thursday after got back from C3 but that's due to cig smoke Sunday night at Spatcon and then mother-in-law lighting up in my house (!) when she picked up her Ep 3 ticket for Mother's Day and next day planting outside (Thursday) in all that pollen hitting Virginia everywhere. So all I can say is that is all I got. And got prescription of Zyrtec from doctor for that. Just occasional cough left and some of sore chest, but better than Sunday.

I think my boyfriend and I (and our group) are the few people who never got sick from CIII. Now Dragon*Con is a different ballpark.

I didn't get sick thank God. But it sounds like there was some weird strain of Star Wars virus going around. CIII Imperial Influenza as it's being called.
I don't think it was because of the cold, though. A virus has nothing to do with the weather.

RE: Sorry, have to ask: Who else is STILL sick from CIII Imperial Influenza?
Wow, I got lucky. When I first hit the line on Saturday, I was pondering the fact that everyone was going to get sick! Immediately after things were finishing up that day I hit the mall to buy a sweatshirt. Only...with it being spring and all no one was selling sweatshirts except the CIII store! I bought a long sleeve shirt and another jacket to go over my Indiana Jones jacket.
I feel really fortunate. I waited outside for about half an hour until they pulled us inside for the GL line. Sunday I slept through my alarm, and didn't hit the line until 8am, which was bearable.
Mara_Jade_Fan, you were managing my GL line, and I heard you mention that you were soaked from the rain. I'm sorry to hear that it developed into pneumonia!

Well, Jos developed it on Friday night, so no seeing GL that day. She was sicker than a dog, and is just now starting to feel better. I had a light case of it myself, and I have talked to more people who came down with it there.
So, interesting to know that it wasn't just us.

Well, I did get sick a couple of days after I got back, but I think that it's more from allergies and the air quality in central NJ than CIII.
However, I did develop a toothache that got quite bad on the Monday after CIII. Coincidence?
