I woke up being sick..

Well, you don't have room to become sick when you become a mother! But seriously, I often catch cold and cough when I was younger but when I became a mother, I do not get sick that often. I think I just get sick when I feel really tired and lose so much energy, then my resistance becomes low. But even if I was sick, I do still get up and do things. There was one time I was shivering and had slight fever which I think was brought about by Urinary Tract Infection. But I remembered that I need to do the laundry coz my kids' uniforms are all in the hamper for washing. Just the same, although I was feeling dizzy, still I managed to do some of it. But an hour later, I went to the ER, coz my fever has gotten worst. I just hate having to leave the kids with my husband coz I feel that my husband couldn't do as much as I do for the kids.

It sounds like you were in bad shape that day so you had to visit the doctor! If you always take care of the children by yourself then your husband probably doesn't know how to do everything. In that case you can leave him instructions, I am sure that he did well that day! Having fever always makes me weak and I have to stay in bed for days. I only have runny nose and sore throat until now, I hope it goes away soon!

I don't have children but I know that it's hard to take care of yourself, it must be 2 times more if you have to make sure that the kids have all they need too. I remember that my mother never got sick when me and my brother had a flu. She probably has a strong body! I think that if I have children one day, and based on how easily I get sick, I will get sick before them! lol

You are doing the right thing! hot beverages will soften your phlegm and also the itchiness will lessen. Though i don't often get flu but i always got colds, i think it's because i usually go home late and walk outside without jacket.

Thank you! I feel better today but my throat is not that good. I am drinking hot beverages all day and honey to soften it. You are so lucky that you don't get sick, you must have a strong immune system! Have a great day :)

I get sick very easily, since I was a child. But I don't get high fever like other people, I usually have runny nose and sore throat, and feel the body weakness. I don't like being sick, that's why I avoid people with a flu! :) This time maybe it's because of the weather change, I am going to wait for it until it makes the cycle. I have become an expert at my symptoms by now! I just have to be careful and dress with warm clothes. Thanks for your advice! I am sure that exercise helps a lot, I have stopped doing any exercise since the summer, maybe I should start again!

It seems you have a little resistance power.Start taking regular exercises,especially yoga and breathing exercises[pranayams].I am sure,it will help you.

I am drinking a lot of orange juice for vitamine C. A doctor told me once to get the vitamins in supplements if I feel like I am gettimg sick. Before I go.to sleep at night I take a panadol to lighten the symptoms for a few hours. Warm soup and hot beverages with honey help me a lot as well! It's the second day today, I hope tomorrow will be the last day!! I will have to go to work and I don't want to feel so weak!

It's because of the weather change, our body needs time to adjust and more people are getting sick around us. You should be careful because slow recovery is tiring and makes us weaker. Thankfully, I recover relatively fast but if I am not careful after recovery, I might get sick again with worst symptoms.

Yeah, will be more careful especially in my eating habits too. I love to eat spicy food, and it is the main cause that gives me sore throat. So, like you said, i need to be careful...otherwise i would fall sick again. I am getting sick very often now. Doctor said we should eat more vitamin C and drink more water. Vitamin C can help us boost our immune system so that we don't get sick easily.

Thank you! Be careful and stay warm! Sometimes we go out thinking that it's going to be a good day and it turns out to be very cold. When the weather is changing we can't predict how the rest of the day will be!

I am going out after work sometimes or I meet with friends and it's easier to catch a flu if someone is sick around me. This time, it could be a cold from the weather change or a flu from a friend who told me that she was sick 2 days ago, after we had a long coffee together. She should have told me earlier but I thought I wouldn't catch it!

Maybe you should take a look at your stomach. My boyfreind has the same problem and he doesn't want to go fo a check up, but sometimes it bothers him with small things like chocolate or coca cola. You must have a strong body in general, usually the stomach problems start suddenly, from something that bothered you once, and then you must deal with them for many years.

Thank you, I got some sleep in the morning and I am going to have chicken soup for lunch. I hope I will feel better by the end of the day, it doesn't look serious!

The weather changed suddenly here too, and during my trip this weekend it was sunny and warm. But when I came back the day was cold and rainy. Many people get sick from the weather change. I hope your friends will get better as well! Be careful not to catch the flu yourself, it's more dangerous when they are getting better!
