Default Sick as a mother fucker...

Everyone at work had it, I was the last one to get it

Yesterday I coughed and all of a sudden vomited... today just stuffed up and bad cough which is mostly dry, and no appetite.

Yea whatever, maybe I'm a big baby but at least I got the girly to take care of me :happysad:

At least you've got company. :hs:
This sounds a lot like the bug that kicked my arse last fall. h:

You're probably doing most of this already, but I figured I'd list the sure-fire remedies anyway. :hsughr:

* Load up on Vitamin C (2000 to 4000mg daily)
* Don't smoke or drink alcohol.
* Drink plenty of clear liquid (green tea works wonders)
* Zinc Lozenges will work well for a scratchy throat.
* if you can find some eucalyptus oil, adding a few drops that to a pot of boiling water then breathing the steam will help loosen up your sinuses and get them to drain.

Also, that Zicam Nasal Gel is amazingly effective for colds.
If that's all this is, I'd pick some up pronto.

I did the Vitamin C, I smoked and drank alcohol last night ( in addition to popping a few codeines), was given and upper, but I have been drinking water.


Last night really made me the worst I think. Worst part was I was popping for a few hours and couldnt sleep

The smoking and drinking and amphetamines are going to supress your immune system significantly; cut them out altogether until you kick this thing.

If you've got what I had last fall, expect to lose a week to this bug.

Mine stayed up in the sinuses for about 12 days; for the first week I was just floored. By the start of the third week, it took a prescription anti-biotic to knock it out.. and I only get sick about once every four years.

Respect this bug; it will absolutely demolish you if you don't.

Werd. We need it though. I didn't come down hard. This stupid bug has hit everyone I know.
