So Sick...

I don't care for doctors myself but with the symptoms you have, you might not have any choice. Don't bother cleaning the house, and go lay on the couch with the kids playing right in front of you. That's about the best idea I can come up with along with lots and lots of fluids...and Tylenol for the fever, aches, pains and headache. I feel very bad for you because I know how hard that is when you have kids. Maybe when your husband comes home he will take over for you I hope. I can send you some chicken soup and hugs in thought so here goes.., the chicken soup you'll have to visualize. Take your temperature and see what it is.

Ah, just like me, unless you are dying, No Doctors!!! Unfortunately I got hit with 2 viruses followed by a third as I as getting over the first two. The third was not so bad, but when I got hit with the first two, I did end up at the doctor's.. So get plenty of rest and "LOTS of water, (My last appointment was because I was getting dehydrated and as a big water drinker, that is unusual) and I hope you don't get any worse...

hi LMB your number one clue headache,You have the flu and yes you need rest and keep warm. plenty of fluids hot chicken noodle soup and I will send some hugs, but rest take some Tylenol for the headaches and drink plen'ty of water, hot tea, and chicken noodle soup too.That's Dr Hatleys prescription and its all free too.lol.

Well i hope you start feeling better drink lots of fluids and get rest if you can. Eat a good meal even if your body isn't hungry. There's a real bad flu bug going around and I am sick with bronchitis & laryngitis at the same time. So I hope we both feel better soon. I been sick since christmas but the bronchitis and laryngitis just happened on new years. Feel better!

Have some chicken noodle soup delivered or have the hubby bring some in. Make sure that you are staying hydrated and are consuming foods that will help to boost your immune system. Since you are now sick, the focus needs to be on limiting the severity and length of the illness. You also need to take necessary measures to limit the possibility of making your family members ill. If they become ill, this may become one of those things where you just keep passing it around the household--not good.

Sorry to hear that you are ill.. Have you tried some tea with lemon there? Or maybe you need some rest.

i heard that this season's version of the flu is quite severe. from the sounds of it, sounds like you have it. i think one of my co-workers has it as well. i get a flu shot every fall so that helps me avoid the flu for the most part. my problem is that i get lung infections all the time during the winter. i hope you feel better very soon. it is tough being sick and having to look after kids.

Sounds like you have the flu... (Hope you didn't get it from Stoutjodee's discussion...) Take whatever pain reliever you normally take and drink plenty of fluids.

I am also sick at the moment. I cannot sleep every night. Maybe I can felt relax for about 2 hours then after that I will experience cough. I hate this kind of illness. I am wondering, why I only experience this kind of ill if I spent more than a week in my mother-in-laws house.

sounds like a lovely case of the flu, bleah... Hope you feel better soon.

I am sorry to hear that you are sick. I guess your way of treating illness, with chicken soup and hugs, is a very good and ancient way. It seems to boost the immune system. Check online other natural ways to help out with your immune system. If it`s a virus, there`s nothing you can do anyway. My grandma gave us melted warm honey and lemon juice to stop cough. Take care.

How I wish I can prepare you that chicken soup to make you feel alright. I am one of those who also hate doctors. Have some ginger tea my dear and get well soon :)

It is so bad that you are sick but that is something real. You want to be healed but you hate a doctor? How could you be healed? REst, take some herbal medicine if you want to go to the doctor and declare that you will be healed.

You must have caught a cold and fever.Such problems are rampant in this season.I would like to suggest you to keep drinking warm water after regular intervals and ensure not to get exposed to cold weather or anything cold.You may boil turmeric powder boiled with water and drink it.And,last but not the least,visit your doctor as soon as possible.Otherwise you would have to suffer for a long time.

I sympathize completely, because I am just recovering from a bout that sounds an awful lot like that. I had aches and pains, chills and fever and a sore throat. Food was the last thing I wanted. I didn't get sick to my stomach, but when I thought of food, my stomach said "no!" I was so tired that I barely made it from the bed to the couch and back again. Do whatever you can to rest. When your body says rest, it needs it. Get your husband to do whatever he can.

Isn't horrible when Mom gets sick? We have to push through and keep things going because the household only works at its best when we're healthy! I remember a particular incident that happened to me. It was in 1998, just six months after I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. It was New Year's Eve, and I had been working that evening. We got out of work early, and that week, the flu had been going throughout the department. My coworker and I decided to have an early dinner, both being mothers, and went to a local restaurant when it started. My throat was just starting to get sore; and by the end of the meal, I felt like crap and didn't even want my champagne! I went home and laid down-I was out in moments. I think it was only a short time before I had to get up AND I COULDN'T MOVE MY LEGS! My husband refused to help me, and even began to scold me for "faking" being sick! I cannot bring you chicken soup, but I can give you some well wishes and hugs in the meantime.

Girl, you could make it so much easier on yourself if you'd go to the....dakotas. The dakotas would get you better really quick. In the meantime if you don't visit the dakotas, try to get the vitamin C, and maybe some Tylenol Flu tablets. Or Advil Flu. Or something that treats the flu.

Clear soup or Chinese? Which one? Quick. I have to go shopping for the chicken. Mostly I go for a live one but no I don't kill it as chickens I keep as pets. So I will have to wait for my maid to do that job when I am not looking. That done I will have to separate meat from the bones and you know how long that takes. And then oh no! where are the recipes? I have lost them. I will soon find them (*searching). There they are. Once I know your preference I shall go about it pronto. And may be just may be by the time you get through to me you could be fit as a fiddle just saving me the bother of getting you that soup? Hugs are cheaper by the dozen here. So here's one

sorry for feeling so bad,you need to rest and take plenty of fluids,try home remedy treatments and see if you feel better if not just go see a doctor.unfortunately as a mum even in sickness we cant take a full break but i hope the kids will be cooperative enough to let you rest.get better soon.

Greetings from China.I am so sorry to hear that.I hope you can get well soon.Take good care and if you don't get better the next day,please go to see a doctor and get some medicine.Give you a hug.Best wishes to you.:)
