How can you enjoy life when you are sick ?

oh i SO know what you mean. i have had a number of lung infections over the course of the winter/spring (used up all my sick days) and am still suffering. i have asthma and it would seem that my asthma is totally out of control at the moment, yet, i still have to go to work and function and still make meals for my family etc. blah!

I really don't see how we could enjoy life when we're sick.Whenever I have a old and I have to work those working hours seem to end forever for me,it's really unpleasant to concentrate on your work while you're sick.The best thing we can do in these situations is take things easier and relax as much as possible,but unfortunately there are moments when we can't do that and we have to be active whether we like it or not.

It is difficult. I have been ill now for over 2 years and it can make life miserable, especially when I get a cold as well. Colds make life really miserable. I think the best thing is to go to bed and get as much rest as possible when like that. The only think you can do is to take it one day at a time and try not to get depressed about what you cannot do. Reduce your activity as much as possible and do tasks a little bit at a time. That is all you can do.

After I had very bad experiences with going to all kind of doctors for my health problems, I stopped going to them. I tried to find out natural remedies for my sicknesses. Fist of all, to balance my immune system because many sicknesses come from a weak immune system, especially colds. I took a three month treatment with echinacea every autumn. To find out my health poroblems I did a lot of search on the internet and in specialty reviews. I feel rather good now, while in the period of consulting the doctors I felt sicker than now. Try to avoid stress because it weakens the organism and it becomes a pray for viruses and bacteria.

I do feel sorry for the people that are ill as well as ill and made to stay indoors, but i think that life is what we make it.How i look at life is that people that are ill, may have got use to the way they have to live as well as found ways to do other things and cope with their illness.I have a few friends that are ill, one of which seemed to be on a bit of a low, so when you know a person is feeling like that you tend to try to cheer them up, also give them things and ideas of things todo.

Wow it is a strong qustion, i am a bit fitness guy and when i sick i feel so small and useless, i hat it! Any way i think what we can do is sleep a lot, let our body to rest and just stay in bed and watch TV or read some books, and drink a lot of tea :)

It can be hard to enjoy life when you are sick. Because it can leave your mood feeling so down and all you really want to do is crawl in bed a lot of times and disappear. I think the most part if you are a Praying person is to Pray and trust god for healing over your situation and do what you need to do for yourself to make you better. Rest is a Great thing, but being able to keep yourself positive and motivated are great things as well.

Hi when I get sick,I seriously can't enjoy my day of my life that day since my whole body aches and I just want to lay down.What irritates me is when I have runny nose.It's really annoying and stressy.I will say it's not enjoyable but it's the stressy experience ever when your sick.It's not easy and the key to enjoy my day when I'm sick is to REST! :-)

I say, how can we enjoy life anytime? When I am sick I am totally miserable and want to be left completely alone. Some people like to be taken care of but I don't like the attention; maybe because I never really had someone take care of me or maybe that is just the way I am, I don't know. What I really have a problem with is enjoying life when I am not sick. I used to have dreams and goals and a fire inside that fueled me to no end but somewhere along the way I became cynical I guess. When you see the world as it really is; ugly and waiting to eat you up it tends to change the way you feel. Yes, I once saw the world as a wonderful place full of beauty and opportunity but it is full of ugliness also that threatens to beat your door down whether you want to admit it or not. I can still see the beauty in the world but I don't enjoy it like I did when I was young and innocent. I long for those days when my eyes were clouded over and I was unaware of the ugliness of the world. If you can find true love in a good family atmosphere and teach the proper ideals and morality to the children so we have hope of a better world then there is the best happiness I think that anyone could hope to find sick or not.

I hate being sick! I can't relax! I have trouble sleeping especially if I need to! I can't enjoy life when I am sick! I get really crappy and like to be left alone! I only try to do stuff when I feel like to! When my sinuses bug me,must of the time I can work when they bug me! I take a sinus pill and usually that makes me feel better!

oh hell no! When I am sick, I am super weak and I can't do anything productive. I used to have colds and fever whenever climate change dramatically. I only stay in bed watch tv and drink lots and lots of water.

These days when I'm sick, I'm still on the computer unless I have migraines. When I have migraines I can't see too well. After the migraine is over, then I get on the computer. I also take time to rest and like the wisdom goes; rest, chicken soup, and tea are still best for you.

As people say, health is wealth. For the past few months, I've experienced terrible allergies that I couldn't even get rid of even after seeing a doctor. I have also learned that people, especially adults tend to develop some form allergic reactions due to a decrease of their immune system. I, too, have felt that my immune system had gone terribly wrong for quite some time now. It's because of too much stress I get from work and my unhealthy lifestyle. With my allergies that almost lasted for almost a year now, I couldn't seem to enjoy eating, or going out because of the effects of the allergies that I get usually at night. I couldn't eat the food I want. I couldn't do activities properly when they start to come out. And with all these, I have learned that if we are sick in any way, it is best to have them treated at once, change your lifestyle, food you eat and a little bit of exercise so we can get back to our better selves so we can do whatever we want anytime and anywhere. Hope you get well soon.

I am sure there is no situation of enjoying with sickness. Any sickness will affect an individual. However where you estimate the advantage you get from work as much higher automatically you will forget the cold and proceed. Enjoy the work. enjoy the money you will get out that work. Cold will fly away.

Hi Wildlittlefan, when Iam sick I start to pamper myself. I read books, eat the things I want, watch cheerfull movies and avoid bad vibes. This helps me allways.

When i'm sick, i'm doing the things i mostly don't do when i'm busy. Like, i call my mom and some friends. I also chat with my friends to catch up with them. And i take more rest afterwards.
