Hey, I have gotten sick over the past few days (nothing serious just cough and runny nose), this has probly been done before but I'm bored. Sooo anyway does anybody do anything special when they get a cold to get rid of it?, or things they do to feel better?...I really do the usual to get rid of it, but something I do to feel better is put some tissues in one nostril and lay on that side. It usually helps me breathe better. Anybody else do this, or have things to add.

Hey Atticus,I cut myself some fresh lemons up,put them in a saucepan with water,bring to the boil and then when its in my mug I add some honey...warms me up good and is also really tasty

I also(if Im really bad)wrap myself up in my duvet and snuggle up on the sofa to watch my fav films.

honey,
my friend was living in guatamala when he got malaria, the shaman told him to drink as much honey as he could get, he said he felt like crap, but hes still alive,
i also take goldenseal and other such things

I'm just getting over the flu and find rest and plenty of water are still the best for me. Also getting hubby to look after the kids helps.

lol thanks for the input, I haven't really had any honey in years

honey is pretty amazing stuff, its the only natural food that never spoils.
ive had 10 year old honey, it was a little dark in color but tasted just fine

vics vapor rub....that stuff is great

I brew up some hot water, mix it with Iced Tea crystals, and add about a shot of Apricot Brandy into it. Helps relax me. Then I'll curl up on my couch in my favorite comforter, and watch DVD's or read until I fall asleep.

If it's one of my migraines, howerver, I lock myself in the spare bedroom, pull the blinds so it's dark, crank the air conditioner, and huddle under the blanket for three days- which is how long my migraines last.

CHICKEN SOUP.


God bless Chicken Soup.

Okay this might sound weird but it works for me. Chug down three mountain dews, spin around in a circle then hold your breath for a minute. Cures me every time and I dont want to go into how I discovered this cure.

right now i have a broken arm and the doctor gave me vicodin but i dont like taking it

Remind me not to try that one.

BurnSide, don't it sound fun ? I like spinning on those chairs that spin really fast and when you stop.....

A visit to UM will treat the cure. Knowing that other people are there for you......knowing that your sick.......then you throw up on your keyboard .

Well, I try to get better...


Nah, I'm lieing... I havent been sick for 6 years

Vicodin is great. It really helps. If you dont have anything to do in the next few hours.

I don't drink mountain dew

If you weren't sick, id have a comment for that... but ill hold off lol

my recommendation: lots and lots and lots of sleep!
and cartoons.

Yes well I'm sure it would be something mature, witty, and classy, or maybe not



cartoons are the only thing too watch nowadays, everything else is reality T.V.

when i'm sick, i either suck it up and complain a bit more than usual, or if i'm too sick to stand, i watch tv and play video games all day.

Water is the best thing for me. It can't always be freezing cold, so it's usually room-temp with a bit of salt in it.

That and sleep. Lots of sleep. I'm talking 24+ hours of sleep, here.

When I get better, long baths, and more sleep

i just go to um and chat it makes me feel better and sometimes i just take some sudafed

What does Moe do when he is sick ?

vomit and complain. Complaining helps the most. Pity is highly under rated. But do not underestimate the power of puke. Tis the way of nature.

Yeah, thats seems acturate.

of course, what else would you expect from me?

I tend to take a capful of dark rum, 2 teaspoons of sugar n some hot water, makes a toddy. if not that then hot lemonade n pepper. that tastes vile but it helps u sweat the cold out.

I come here when I'm sick helps passs time and it's fun ...and gets me feeling better.

One time my uncle was really sick and nothing seemed to work for him and he was dilusional and kept on asking for ice cream, but the doctor was all like "Ice cream is bad for you" but finally his wife gave him some ice cream and he got better! So I advise you to eat ice cream, nice cold ice cream.
