I feel headachey and feel a sickie coming on.
I popped 1000mg of Vitamin C, drank 16 ounces of OJ, 16 ounces of water and now I'm about to go to bed!
What do you do?
-
Lots of water and lots of sleep. And start doing breathing treatments to keep it from going to my lungs. And I plan on going to the doctor a few days later because my illness pretty much always turn into either a sinus infection or upper resp. infection. I usually head to the dr. sooner rather than later.
-
Orange juice and sleep. I'm also feeling sick - haven't been getting enough sleep.
-
@Rubies: Get some good rest tonight! I haven't been getting good sleep either. I'm headed to bed now!
-
I warn my hubby so he can stay away and use different hand towels. Then I usually just drink some OJ.
Hope everyone starts feeling better!
-
I vitamin C bomb it! That means 1000mg of Vit C an hour with lots of water. Keep it up until you feel better or your poops get loose. Try to cut out sugars (that includes OJ!)
Works most of the time
-
Same here. I take a EMERGEN C then I also gargle with warm salt water. My first symptom of getting sick is usually a sore throat, so if I can cut this at the path, I'm good.
-
I take vitamin c crystal powder (pure as ascorbic acid) with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I also drink 2-3tbsp of apple cider vinegar in boiling water. I'm trying not to catch something right now.
-
make tea out of ginger (grate some into a cup and pour over boiling water)
-
hope you're feeling better! - oops this was a week ago! i usually go to bed early and layer on some clothes and blankets.
-
Los of water, honey and apple cider vinegar.
-
Sleep! I also try to drink hot water with honey and lemon and force myself to eat something warm, even if I don't feel like it.
-
I juice oranges and lemons and drink those, plus plenty of water. Garlic and echinecea too.
-
EmergenC, lots of fluids (water, tea), rest
-
I juice a lemon and stir it together with a teaspoon of local honey.
I try to take my vitamins regularly and get enough sleep, which is the most difficult to do.
-
@chopsuey119: My exact regiment when I feel a cold coming on... I also pop migraine medicine... but sleep + Vit C + OJ + Water seem to be the cure for me. I try to sweat it out in my sleep.
-
Lots of sleep, keep warm, and drink plenty of fluids.
-
OJ + OJ + OJ + sleep.
-
Vitamin C drops and pray that it's just a fluke.
-
Water, tea and Vit C, plus extra sleep
-
I hate that feeling!
I try to rest and hydrate as much as possible. Flush it out.
-
Two words: zinc lozenges.
If you are faithful with them and start taking them as soon as you feel a cold coming on they work almost every time.
Last week I started getting DH's cold (that's been plaguing him for 10 days now). I took zinc lozenges all day long and got lots of rest...woke up the next morning....no cold!
Here's one of the studies: http://www.coldeeze.com/uploaded_files/pdf/Cleveland%20Clinic%20Annals%20of%20Internal%20Medicine.pdf
