Beware: The Signs!


Blog Code
  • Mood: uhg
  • Watching: inside of my eyelids
  • Listening: nose blowing
  • Drinking: cough syrup
  • Eating: not much

If you wake one morning soon and there is a small and unyielding scratch in the back of your throat, causing a cough now and then. Nothing concerning, but a little abnormal, followed by a slight soreness when swallowing...


BEWARE!!


Because you may be getting this flu. And it is BAD NEWS! I cannot remember ever being this sick. And it's been going on a week now. It completely debilitates you. Ask anyone who knows me what it takes to get me to stop working. I have done about 45 minutes of work in the past five days.

It's horrible!

So if you see the signs... start pumping Vitamin C, Garlic, anything you possible can into your system, and pray you can stunt this thing before it takes over completely!

Ok, back to bed!

      That sounds really nice actually. One of the sucky things is that Ien got this about a day before I did. And it's so horrible we can't let anyone come over.

      So we have been horribly ill, while trying to take care of each other. Heh.

    I have always used green tea during flus. heat helps with the throat, antioxidant, and the lil bit of caffeine helps give you a bit of energy to at least sit up and play a vid game or watch a movie

      Oh yeah I've been pumping all that stuff into my system.

      And I've been been doing mainly nothing but playing Hellgate: London and watching National Geographic Channel and History Channel with ӝien :)

      And I haven't been real lucid while doing those things.

    I don't get sick very often, but when I do it's bad. I had pneumonia last year, and spent 5 days in hospital. :hug:

    I hope you both get better soon!

    Oh, and I always find that steam helps with breathing. Really hot water in a shower stall will steam you up nicely.

    I got the flu once even with a flu shot. For 3 days I suffered from indescribable every time I coughed. I could barely speak.

    And worst of all, there were no good games out then!

      Yeah for the first three days coughing was HELL! I would shake a little from the pain every time.

      Honestly most of the time I haven't been able to think well enough to play any games. I have been playing Hellgate most of the time because you only have to know one thing: Shoot anything that moves.

      It's not difficult to do or remember, so it works. :)

    Is it actually a flu? Or a cold?

    I haven't gotten the flu in a long time. I suppose you could say that I get a cold, but it never lasts more than a couple days and doesn't inhibit me from doing most things.

          Yes. Thankfully unlike almost all other flus I have had in the past, this one has not come with a lot of nausea. Which is very strange. It seems weird to feel this bad, and not be vomiting.

            Not throwing up when sick makes it so much easier to deal with, I think. I get nausea when I get migraines (and, well, when I don't get migraines, too) and I finally got an anti-nausea medication because my throat was starting to burn more when I threw up. Having a migraine without the nausea makes it near bearable. Sort of.

    a very good deal against a debilitated immune system (which is what cause people being prone to get influenza, for egg) is vitamin D! and you get it for free from the sun! get 10 minutes of sun (bare naked, and while you're on it, do some yoga too) per month and you'll be fine! :)

    this comes directly from my anthropology class of human ecology :)

    get beetr soon, spot! *hugs*

    i think i'm immune to most strains around here now a-days, i had it 4 years in a row (really bad too, top temp was 104, hallucinating, all that good stuff).

    Look on the bright side, you can only catch each strain once! We'll just worry about that whole avian thing later.

      True.

      Well I woke up about and hour and a half ago and for the first time did not feel like I would rather be dead.

      So here's to hoping!
