Call in sick!! I would say take Dayquil though. That usually helps me. Also use a lot of mind over matter. You feel fine!! Right?
eat. drink something that will make you sweat and wrap yourself in blankets and sweat like a pig. high body heat kills viruses (thats what your fever is for-help it) drink tons of water juice etc. EAT A LOT even if you dont want to. The more you sweat,pee and shit the faster you will purge your body.
haha!! well u got me laughing at least. not sure about the food part (stomachs upset too) but the rest sounds pretty dead on. wish i had an extra five hours to chase this cold back to whatever hell it came from. denial is good too. i'm working hard on that one.
bottled water - $1.99 advil - $6.49 on sale decongestants - $2.99 (generic) kind words from late night boardies - priceless!! off to beddy bye...
If you're not feeling up to much food wise. Chicken noodle soup with chili oil works for me. Get's some goodness in you and makes you sweat like a mother.
yeahhhh i'm still up (few more minutes) chili oil sounds like a great idea. i just ate some salsa in attempts to spice things up. not very spicy since when do they label things "hot" when they are actually mild? bet somebody sued over too-spicy salsa haha
ha ha. you know that was the case for sure. We live in a world where coffee has to carry disclaimers that it's hot. hope you feel better. A good dansak curry always works wonders I find too. A bit of whisky before bed doesn't go a miss either.
I had a bastard asian cold a few weeks ago... alcohol is the only way you will shift it... you need, all in a coffee cup, a big tablespoon of honey, juice of a whole lemon, couple of cloves and a couple of shots of whiskey. top it up with boiling water. Hit the sack and wake up shining! good luck with it!
thanks guys... mondo, i was really wanting a hot toddy but was too late (and was too tired) to go out and get whiskey. was up all night with this bastard. blah!
according to KR (I asked the same q over the weekend) it's all about nyquil and booze personally i just lie in bed with a good book and lots of tea till it goes away
That shit JACKS me up, gets me way fuckin' squirrelly! Rest and plenty-o-liquids, good luck on the quiz.
me too, dayquil has me doing rapid foot tapping movements. I usually just dook it out with dayquil/nightquil combo and a fat spoonful of honey and Lemon juice every morning. i also rinse and gargle with warm salt water alot??? and of course the second my throat can handle it...bongloads to increase appetitie and continue onto franks suggestion. i usually dont sleep when im sick so some cable is neccesary(4am = Gigantor time) Earlier in August I had a lung infection which was pretty crazy fun. I swear the first two days of it i couldn't do simple addition.
Believe it or not: AIRBORNE. that shit works. chase that with hot tea every 20 mins and you'll be good.
take a really hot bath (it should hurt to get in the tub) and add loads of sea salt and baking soda. Not sure why it works but it does.
Airborne does help! Franks right about the liquids and food. Odwalla Mo Betta' is really good for you and taste good! Sleep helps also! Good luck!
Shit. I'll vouch for Airborne. What is it...1000% of your daily required Vitamin C? Don't overdo it though...too much Vit C is bad for the kidneys, I think. Either that, or I'm talking out of my ass...
