LaTigresse -> I hate being sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10/26/2006 6:53:16 AM)

So yeah, I have this cruddy head cold that started yesterday on my day off work. Nothing drastic, just the usual sore throat, stuffy nose, fever, chills, aches. Nothing that I feel warrants staying home from work. It just makes me grumpier than usual and causes me to stop frequently, wondering what the hell I was just getting ready to do.

Is it just me or does anyone else experience a severe drop in their mental IQ when their head is full of gross stuff and they are forced to breath thru their mouth? Constantly sneezing, eyes watering, carrying around a box of tissue.

Have I mentioned I really HATE being sick?? I am rarely sick. One of those people that scoffs at the need for sick days. Makes fun of others bitching and moaning about a few sniffles. Arrogantly assumes other sick people are just big wussies or, terribly unhealthy and not taking proper care of themself. But ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not me, when I get sick it is because of a particularly evil and insidious germ that no amount of good health, fruits and veggies, fresh air, could have kept at bay.

I feel like such a pain in the ass. It is the only time I allow anyone to actually pamper me and do things for me. I have to say however, NyQuil is my friend.

Yours truely, staring off into a cold medicated daze......

P.S. Did I mention that I do get comments on the sexy deep voice a cold brings. Veddy Kathleen Turnerish.

and this wouldn't at all be stress related?  Hang in there, dear.  Drink lots of hot tea with honey (and whiskey, if you don't have to be accountable to anyone for anything ... it does dehydrate you further tho, so up the non alcoholic fluids).  I am also a fan of zinc, but more for prevention, than cure.

Want me to download you some chicken soup?

Pffffffffftttttttttt!!!!!!!!! Stress?? What stress???



twicehappy -> RE: I hate being sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10/26/2006 10:55:17 AM)

Awwww....poor baby, want me to send you some soup?
 
Seriously the hot tea with lemon and honey, plus a bit of whiskey is a good idea.
 
Sorry you got the feel bads.



LaTigresse -> RE: I hate being sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10/26/2006 10:57:53 AM)

I wonder if tea, soup, whiskey and NyQuil would be dangerous for dinner tonight.......



darchChylde -> RE: I hate being sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10/26/2006 1:54:13 PM)

It would be good for you, you would sleep better as well.
 
Just remember only use the recommended dose of Nyquil and do not over do the whiskey.



mtumwawaBwana -> RE: I hate being sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10/26/2006 2:44:11 PM)

this might sound nasty, or tasty if You like it, but take 8-10 raw cloves of garlic, crush them into a paste and swallow all the paste.

within an hour or two, You will start to clear out Your sinuses. You can repeat this process every 4 hours till You feel Your sinuses cleared out.

too....take lots and lots of vit C and take zinc to rebuild Your immunities.

slathers You from afar to feel better...........i dont want to share my flu buggies with You



LaTigresse -> RE: I hate being sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10/26/2006 3:14:06 PM)

Thank you all!

I think I am already starting to feel a little better. It started yesterday and hopefully by tomorrow it will be gone. Usually my  immune system keeps all the germs at bay but this one snuck in under the radar.

I have been downing the C and zinc, snorted the Zycam yesterday and will again tonight. And of course plenty of dark chocolate.......cures everything ya know.

Hopefully by this time tomorrow I will be back to my regular self.

edited to add..........I love garlic but YECK!!!!



JerseyKrissi72 -> RE: I hate being sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10/26/2006 3:29:07 PM)

This cool weather may feel good but it's the worst time of the year usually for me, head colds, stuffiness..etc...I do hope you get well soon...try drinking alot of warm teas w honey..sending hugs)))

Rumtiger -> RE: I hate being sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10/26/2006 4:33:04 PM)

God...i'll trade ya, your cold for the stuff I got from my own stress, stomach feels like it's rotting away and got the shits like crazy, i'd kill for a cold.



twicehappy -> RE: I hate being sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10/27/2006 5:57:05 AM)

How are you feeling today hon? Better i hope.



LaTigresse -> RE: I hate being sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10/27/2006 6:55:11 AM)

Gooooooooood Morninggggggggg!!!! Except for a little head congestion I feel fine this morning. However, my voice is almost gone. I open my mouth and I just squeak. Terribly frustrating but way better than feeling crappy. I think that was the shortest cold I have ever had, but I am not complaining. 



knees2you -> RE: I hate being sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10/27/2006 6:34:21 PM)

Echanecia { Ibelieve it is spelled right}

DON'T TAKE ECHINACEA!

It can make your cold worse, and can do some nasty shit to your immune response, too.  It's a bad idea all around.

I'd go with the whiskey....it's been known do wonders. Do you belong to a gym or health club that has a steam room? When I feel something coming on I'll sit in the steam room and poor a little Kaloon oil / Eucalyptus oil on the pipe that is emitting steam. It works wonders.
