Ugh... I hate being sick
6 years ago
Started out as a cough Saturday night. By Sunday mid-afternoon I was getting cold, and not long after that I definitely had a fever. I've been in bed almost constantly since then. Only up for a few minutes to make sure critical messages get sent. Got a headache, a fever that vacillates between 99.9 and 101.something, and I still have a couch, and my back is just sore in lots of different spots. Say some prayers if ya don't mind!

Home made chicken soup heavy on the onion, garlic, and cayenne pepper (amazingly, our bodies make very good use of that hot stuff) though in moderation if you can't handle heat.
1 packet theraflu (or generic), 1 packet emergenC powder, 8oz hot water, and 2oz rum (or the like) first thing in the morning and just before bed. Use as needed, though without the C, during the day.
How ever you approach it, you want to intake 1000mg C in the morning and another 1000 just before bed to give your body ammunition to fight that virus off. A good multivitamin (gummy, not clay tablet!) will also help.
Following that regimen I burn through colds and the flu in a matter of 3 to 5 days, tops, though the actual coughing lasts a lot longer the misery of the actual illness passes quickly.
