I'm sick as a dog!

[Hanuman]

I have the flu. I hate to admit it, cause I rarely get sick, but when I do, I'm a big wuss. I whine and moan and demand lotsa attention. Usually I just bunker down in my sweats and with 4 blankets and try to sweat it out. It's not working. I have a 102 degree fever and my back and legs are achy. I feel like kaka.

I'm gonna try to put myself in nyquil induced coma until the fever breaks. I miss Joak (thai congee) that my mom used to make when I was sick, told you I was a wuss. Any proven remedies that you might have? Let me know, I'm desperate!

[jimbo]

I had the same thing over xmas and new year, Hot bath couple of times a day and loads of vitamin c and fluids.

That helps.

i constantly drink water and bathroom until it goes away.

Gatorade never fails. Drink as much as you can. That's all I have to say about that...

[Green_Jade]

fluids - hot tea..popscicles...anything soothing... but nothing caffinated! the point is to keep fluids..
and meds for symptoms to help you sleep...

i personally dont belive in cold/flu meds, they dont really help you get better faster, just help you feel *better*

but i do take them before bed so i can get a good solid sleep w/o waking up from coughing/acheing..ect.

and.. this might sound gross..but stright chicken broth..mmm.

Viral infections are thought to be suppressed through a few things:

1) Zinc - the jury is still out about the actual proof, but empirically loading up on this mineral early in the infection cuts the number of sick days

2) Vitamin C - Lots and lots... Try 1gm (=1000mg) twice a day (no kidney problems right?)

3) Chicken Noodle Soup/Broth - I guess there was a study that showed an improved outcome in patients who took the home remedy.

4) TLC - 'nough said

edit: I forgot the actual Western medicines available - flu shot for prevention, Relenza - inhaled anti-viral that best works at first onset of symptoms

Yeah I just got over this crap. The bright lights of the computer screen would've been hell for my headache though, so I don't see how you do it.

[mr. x]

nothing too cold

Stay away from ice cream type stuff thatll give you chills. And dont over-do the shower heat cuz you thought u might be tempted to so, you will regret it. Dont overdo the naps either, cuz then you wont be able to sleep sleep.

Hmm, what the hell do i know anyway.

(oh nvrmnd. *giggles* i'm just a little tart that way!)

get well soon na kha P' tawee - nyquil, that's all i can say, and no more staying up til 5 am okay?? :ph34r:

[himura-dono]

dude, drink a bottle of hotsauce...preferably habanero sauce...it'll get ur sinus' cleared up, and you'll be better before you know it.

edit: just whatever you do, DO NOT SHIT after only drinking the sauce.... :ph34r:

I have a laptop, so I'll type for a bit, get tired then roll over and sleep. Sometimes with the computer still on my lap.

Last time I woke up my screen had a ton of ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. I must have hit the shift and the z in my sleep, or maybe I rolled over on it.

Thanks for all the advice guys. By tomorrow I'll have this thing beat. Oh and thanks for putting up with my whining, I really am a big baby ;)

Sorry! I told you we should wait till I get better before we make out. :P

How about I make you some chicken soup to make up for it? By the way, I feel much better now, and I really hope you don't get what I had cause that really sucked.
