The flu is going around.
I missed a couple classes last week
and right now, I am just in bed with the laptop enjoying your company
I can't breath and I get hot flashes...wtf?
Arn't flu shots supposed to work?
ODing on vitamin C might work....
I don't feel good either

I didn't catch a cold in 2 years. But when I do catch one, I feel miserable. I don't think anything can stop a cold or the flu once you got it. It has to do it's time.
Taking pills, aspirins, or whatever syrup only makes you feel drousy. I never take any medication when I have a cold. It finally goes away after a week or 10 days.
I never take any medication period.
Hope you feel better soon jwbot

I know just how you feel. Snuggle up in a warm bed, drink some herb tea and sip on some hot soup.
I hope you feel better soon.

Yup...it sure does!

Just do the best you can. More rest the better you feel. I am always pushing myself and I feel better for a day and then get to feeling worst. I have a husband, 2 kids ( 16 and 9 ) and 2 kittens. I just shut the door and tell them don't knock unless there's fire or blood. LOL!!

Chicken soup is best - scientifically proven to help (but they aren't sure why)
I always take paracetamol - it does help to make you feel more comfortable but watch out, some over the counter cold remedies also have paracetamol in them so don't overdo it.
Only use cough suppressant at night when you need to sleep. During the day use an expectorant cough mixture, you need to cough to get rid of the stuff blocking your tubes.
Drink fruit juice, not milky drinks, and take a Vit C supplement for about a week after the cold starts.
Other than that you just gotta ride it out.
Take care,

I just bought something called a "neti pot". You run salt water through your sinuses to clear them out. It's supposed to really lessen the amount of colds you get because it cleans out the bacteria. I'm gonna try it this winter and see how it goes! I bought mine in the health food store, it cost about 18 dollars.
Other than that, I drinks lots of honey tea with lemon and parsley (parsley has a really high vitamin c content).

It sucks to feel crappy and I'm sorry for you Jess. Feeling lousy with monday morning in front of you is the worst. Take care of yourself and get better because I don't want you to give me germs when I visit you soon.
