I can't remember the last time I felt a cold coming on, from memory it was about three years ago?? maybe two.... I hardly ever get them or flu's.
Theres a bug going round, round the office, round my group of friends and its nasty! most have been knocked up for days by it and I DON'T WANT IT.
But the feelings of an achy body, a sore throat and a tickle in my nose is scaring me.... I think I'm getting a flu! damn and blast it!
blarrr blurrrr bleaaakkkk sniff sniff...
Okay what do you do, feed a fever starve a cold??? or is it feed a cold and starve a fever.... maybe I should just drown that sucker... get roaring drunk on cognac or scotch and drown it! maybe I should go for a really long bike ride! sweat it out??? I don't wanna get sick!
Any suggestions apart from garlic... I eat a halve a clove every meal anyway.

    I get that old adage mixed up all the time, and sorry--I still don't know which is which!  I think it's "Feed a Cold, Starve a Fever, but hubby says it't the other way around.  What does he know?  He still has trouble with a.m and p.m when setting the clock....
     
    But I do hope you feel better soon! 
  • Lucytorial said on Apr 23, 2008....
    well, its only the beginning as they say, I'm hoping to get my sword out before it really embeds itself in me, as we speak my throat is thudding... husband is also sneezing!
  • pickersplock said on Apr 23, 2008....
    I hope you feel better.
  • Lucytorial said on Apr 23, 2008....
    sniff sniff....

    thanks pickers... don't get too close, you don't want it!
  • skald said on Apr 23, 2008....
    I squeeze a lemon and even eat a part of it. Drink it in hot water twice or three times a day. It is disgusting but in two or three days I am O.K.  But now I take vitamin c as I don't like getting colds as I am singing. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon. 
  • Lucytorial said on Apr 23, 2008....
    thanks skald, right now I'd really like to be sitting on an ice cap, in my nickers... its so hot here or its me I don't know.. but a cold in warm weather is worse than one in cold weather.... send me some ice!!!!!

    I have a lemon and I'm going to try that today, thanks.
  • skald said on Apr 23, 2008....
    lol would like to send you. Temperate is best, not to warm and not too cold. Seems like we can never have it right.
    Hope your lemon will do you good.
  • travelr712 said on Apr 23, 2008....
    sorry you're sick lucy. my cold remedy is a glass of theraflu for the stuffiness, and several shots of really cheap whiskey to drown the cold, it always shortens the duration.
  • Lucytorial said on Apr 23, 2008....
    as well as the cognac, tecquilla, crown ??? well at least I'll be in a happy mood right?
  • travelr712 said on Apr 23, 2008....
    yeah lucy, but tomorrow's gonna SUCK!!!! :-P
  • Lucytorial said on Apr 23, 2008....
    thanks a lot mate!
  • Twylarants said on Apr 23, 2008....
    I've got it, too, Luce. I think I caught it from Fallyn.
    No, I really caught it from some asshole who walked past me in work, and sneezed without turning his head or covering his mouth! I had to wash my arm off in the restroom...the disgusting pig!  I knew I'd catch something. I haven't had a cold in 7 years, maybe more. It sucks.
  • Lucytorial said on Apr 23, 2008....
    ohhh noooooo it truly sucks, I never usually get sick and this is going to be gag... bad...

    Well we can always compare who's eyes are more swollen, throats redder, head is thumping and who can sleep the most???

    Get better soon then do as I am, pass it on to someone I don't like.. *-D
  • secretlife said on Apr 23, 2008....
    vitamin C......sleep........water.
    they sell this stuff here called airborne......you dissolve it into a glass of water, and it's supposed to help prevent colds.  don't know if you can get it there, but it might be worth checking out.
  • PAPERBACKWRITER said on Apr 24, 2008....


    Howzzzzzzzerr, Tobi?  Feeling any better???

    Gah, we all have it too!

    But with children, I have accepted my faith of constantly having it!

    Just like what everybody else said already. . . rest, lots of fluids, vitamin c (lots of vitamins through fresh fruit), chicken soup etc. . .

    a snotty kiss : muaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh. . .GIGGLE. . .love you

     love Lindsay. I saw her profile on millionaire&celeb dating site “RichMatchMaking DOT COM” last week. It is said she is dating young billionaire on that site.
  • hotaka said on Apr 24, 2008....
    First hint of a cold I found if I immediately start taking care of it I can get over it quickly. I take medicine after each meal and rest a lot, drinking lots of fluids and make sure I got to bed early. I can be over it in two days instead of a week by doing this. I just had one on Monday. It was gone by Tuesday. Take care of yourself and get well soon.
  • destinydiva said on Apr 24, 2008....
    my dad swears by a dose of brandy or a dose of whiskey for a cold/flu... 
    (thats a cool cure huh??)  lol :-)

    hope ya feeling better soon lucy xxxx

    Hiya,

    I am at a three day job on the Dutch coast.
    Great weather but I have a cold too and I
    MISS my Paper.
    I lost my voice, (which is no loss to SC) hehe
     and I feel rotten.

    The common cold is a virus.
    You can't do anything against it but live and eat healthy.
    But tucking oneself under and drinking hot and nice
    fluids is great to make you forget you feel soo lousy.

    Be well soooooooooon!

  • ALIENated said on Apr 24, 2008....
    
    Starve a cold (so you produce less mucous) and feed a fever (lots of liquids 
    so you do not dehydrate). I had something that immediately felt like was 
    getting over the flu, like I usually do after I have had it several days. Then 
    it turned into a sinus infection, which was the bad part of it all. I am not 
    so sure alcohol is the answer. Probably just makes you not care, and helps 
    you to rest. I usually start taking a decongestant / antihistimine / pain
    reliever as soon as I am sure I have a cold, and never miss a beat. Get
    well soon my sweet.

    if i knew that i wouldnt be sick :P
  • diabolicdame said on Apr 24, 2008....
    Are you better now? Get well soon!!
  • vacantmind said on Apr 24, 2008....

    Poor girl..don't get sick but if you have to...suck it for all its worth. Hubby needs to pamper you!

    My mother used to mix Jack Daniels, Lemon Juice, and Honey when I was little. With every cough you took a spoonful. I don't think it did much for the cold but I slept most of the way through it. Oh! And I loved that stuff...it was awesome for a 8 year old kid. That's right my Mom Rocked!

Disgusting, but I really do feel wormy inside literally.

There's a battle in there and hopefully the Combantrin that I took will work. It sucks having stupid worms inside you. Ewww....
Let's have some fun!

As some of you may remember, I don't always stick with plain old boring words when I speak. Some times you just have to make a good old fashioned home made word to cover an idea or convey a concept. I'll give you a coup...
I got a flu shot because the doctor said I should. They swear it won't make you sick, but you might get "flu like symptoms". Well, I got them and that sure felt like sick to me....
