I'm a little sniffly, I'm sure I caught it on the bus that was substituting for the train from Boston to Albany. Some woman was coughing pretty persistently for the entire ride.
My back is in pain and it hurts to breathe, but I think that's because I was on a cramped flight back from PAX and I had work yesterday and today. Otherwise I'm feeling alright.
I was fine all weekend...except after I ate those toquitos from the 7-11. I am the king of bad ideas. I managed to make it through saturday though with only a couple of run to the bathroom moments.
I had a sore throat that started Sunday night, it's gone now but I still have some congestion and aches.

I did a fantastic job of not getting sick at PAX. Vitamin C, 6 hours sleep each night, and lots
of hand washing did the trick. However, I went back to work yesterday and promptly got
food poisoning from some funky tuna at the local grocery store
salad bar. NOT FUN.
I was fine coming home yesterday but when I got up this morning I could hardly move. Been laying on the couch all day, hurts to move, and my stomach is a mess.
Anyone else come down with anything or am I the lone man sick after a jam packed weekend?
YES!!! the sam SH!#! happened to me!...... I'm still sick

pretty sure i got the norovirus, i have all the symptoms, still feel like s---t though slightly better than yesterday when i was a useless lump most of the day. constant shivers too despite no sign of fever. Made it to work today but feel meh.
Stayed up too late at PAX, didn't hand wash enough, didn't hydrate enough, walked outside at night in freezing temp with no jacket after the friday concert when the skywalk doors were locked. (THANK YOU COPLEY PLACE, NOT)
I was walking around barefoot (I was the witch, as many of you probs know by now), and I expected to get sick not only because of that but also because I took pictures with so many people, was so tired, had a rediculous lack of water and food all day, and I generally get sick a lot. I woke up and my body was sore from walking around all day and going up-down-up-down-up-down for posing every two minutes and a throat full of hurt because of screaming all day, but nothing from actual sickness. Immune System: 1, PAX Pox: 0!
I got sick two days after. I doubt it is noro since when I had a similar virus a couple years back, I couldn't sip water without immediately vomiting it back up.
However, it was still unpleasant.
I'm not sure how, but after PAX and two 6+ hour flights I feel fine. This almost makes up for the feeling like I'm on the verge of death for three weeks after Prime.
I got a wicked cold, I'm sure running from the convention center back to the Westin at 2AM had something to do with it (Why did they have to close the mall down again??) I wish I'd seen the PA comic about the Iron Guard before Monday, because I shook a LOT of peoples hands while playing boardgames.

Being cold doesn't actually have anything to do with getting a cold y'know.
Had a bit of a sore throat a couple of days after PAX, then had a full blown runny nose for 2 days. Would have been ok but I flew from the east coast of the US to the west coast of Australia in those 2 days. Sucked so bad.
Someone on the first page mentioned Norovirus, I had that about 2 weeks prior to PAX. Real life Boomer anyone?
I lost my voice the first night (tyvm to partying too hard), and it only got worse from there. When I got home though, and even now, it's been constant sneezing and coughing, with a really painful throat irritation.

Haha, not only did I attend pax, but I also had a boatload of raw shellfish when I got into boston on Thursday Night. The only thing that can lay me low is my goddamn allergies, but it's not quite that time of year yet!
I had a slight head cold. Other than that, if I didn't feel well during PAX East it were due to; drinking too much the night before each day of PAX, smoking too many james Blunts (Drugs are bad ::wink wink::). and lack of sleep from being up until 4-5am playing Table Tennis (xbox 360), Fuzion Frenzy 2 (xbox 360) or Tecmo Bowl (nes).
Were you staying in the Midtown? If so, that explains the endless noise that I'd hear at all hours through the paper thin walls. That place can suck it.
So almost a week out from PAX and I still haven't recovered from whatever hit me on Saturday, the symptoms have just transformed. Sore throat is gone, and replaced by a fun dry cough. The infection has migrated south. Either that or whatever I caught triggered my allergies, which is usually what happens this time of year...
I felt fine until Tuesday afternoon, then I came down with sneezing fits runny nose, sinus conjestion etc... by Wednesday I had a full blown head cold complete with sinus pain/conjestion, cough, etc... Now most of it's past and I have the plessure of coughing up all the crap that's drained into my lungs the past couple days... yay...
I little pax pox is a small price to pay though imho...
I had a fever and I have had a really messed up throat for a few days. The throat thing could be attestable to the smokers however, since I'm allergic, so that's a tossup.

You jinxed yourself!
Here's to hoping you feel better soon.

Still nothing compared to all of my friends who got the Swine Flu from Prime. Happy I was able to out-immune them on that one!

Mild congestion, slight headache.

Only showing minor cases of running nose...
Better go catch it, safe... for now.
I doubt I have norovirus, as even though I had some awful abdominal pains, I've had gastroentiritis, and this pales in comparison to that.

However, it was still unpleasant.
No vomiting and I have plenty of appetite though, so probably just a cold. They hit me a little hard in the chestal area usually.
However, fortunately my immune system is teh win because (Both from EAST and PRIME) the POX only lasted a few days.
I think you have Nintendo FEVER. Better call Dr. Mario
