Is anyone else on their death bed? The Flu Thread.

[ortega76]

As I sit here feeling like death warmed over- I have the worst bout of the flu I've suffered in years- I find that many of my friends are similarly incapacitated. Even those I haven't seen in months are miserable. As I contemplate my doom, I wonder what classic remedies have worked for members of this board?

I also think a bit over the top and scared me really. I believe we have lost a few FLers over the years.

I though was just telling honey everyone looks so tired lately. Things are taking a toll and stress can lead to all kinds of sicknesses. For Flu you need loads of rest and loads of good fluids. Flush the nasty out of you. Hope you feel better soon. I was my hands alot and think this has played a role in my not getting colds and flu as much as I used to.

Brandy Alexander Cheesecake three times a day, or as directed by your Doctor.

Not the flu, but I just had an eye procedure done on Friday for a case of occular histoplasmosis. I had an injection of Avastin in my eye. Quite traumatic and I am not up to par as yet.

Get yourself a chia pet and drink plenty of fluids. Got to let it pass through your system.

Well, I passed out on the floor of the projection booth a couple weeks ago, and had to take the only sick day I've taken in four years -- six hours of sleep and some Lipton's Noodle Soup and I was back on the job. That's my all time favorite all-purpose remedy for whatever ails.

ortega, if you're typing you don't have the 'Flu. Simple as that.

I believe it's known amongst our female friends as "Man 'Flu"

Copious sex is the solution. Now, what is the problem?

If it's the flu, you can get a shot within a short time of contracting it to help shorten the duration. Otherwise, you just feel like you're dying, then wish you'd hurry up and die, then (let us hope) get better. Getting a flu shot is a good idea--and not too late if you're not sick.

 

[ortega76]

The funny thing is that I had a flu shot about a month ago. All I got from the doc was a BRAT diet (Bananas Rice Applesauce Toast), drink lots of fluids and that's about it.

So far, a hot toddy has been about the best thing.

Stay home.
