FluMageddon - Day 4

I bet you can. Sorry.

Take lots of Pro-biotic Yogurt or supplements.. Supplements are cheaper, but Yogurt is far better when you are sick... Or them them both at the same time.. Just don't over do it on the supplements..

When you are no longer sick.. Take the supplements (far cheaper)... And continue taking them as directed on the label..

I haven't been sick since... I can't remember when.. I also started taking Pro-Biotic supplements around the same time as, I can't remember when!!!

most seasonal sick folk don't really have the "flu" (the one you get the shot for) most are just different variations of the common cold … some worse than others … not many people die from the common cold … thousands (even in this country) die from the actual flu

Could be worse, I guess. I presume you have electricity right now- I've been ignoring the news for a few days, and heard this morning there are 55,000 people still with no power around Toronto.

Imagine sick as a dog, in a house with no heat...I gotta buy a generator someday.

Yeah, I have several friends who spent the holidays without power. Horrible. Spent Christmas eve day chasing down a generator for the friends who own the farm where my horse lives - they were 4 days with no power and 30 horses to look after.

Pretty sure this is just a bitch of a cold. Still hacking and coughing but no longer feverish. I don't do yogurt much as dairy bugs my stomach, but I do have acidophilus tablets and organic miso contains pro-biotics, so I must get some.

Started hacking up stuff the past couple of days and waking up feeling like my sinuses/throat were a desert. Bought some Zicam and cough drops, been sucking down water and OJ like crazy. Hopefully the holiday boozefests won't negate the effects of the miracle cures too much. I hate getting sick.

The entire family here is sick. Our 3 yr old girl is on a nebulizer. I had almost 2 weeks off from work, but absolutely nothing is getting done on my X due to us all being miserable. I hate being sick.

Neti pot/sinus irrigation is a godsend - I can't believe how much relief a bit of salt water can provide. My sinuses were really painful and I had that broken glass feeling in my throat - just two or three times a day with the neti pot almost completely relieved the aching sinus pressure. Gargling with a cup of salt water is an old remedy but works really well for soothing the throat.
