I am sick. I've been sick for almost a week. I'm pretty sure it's the flu and it's going to kill me. I've tried chicken soup, tea with honey, earl grey tea. Everything I can think of and I still feel like crap. Does anybody have any other remedies for the flu? Ways to make me feel even a little bit better?I am literally sick of being sick! ugg I feel bound by chains to the bathroom! AAAAARRRRGGGG

Hello Acuityplague, I'm sure that you're right as rain, and fit as a fiddle by now. Sorry I didn't see your post when you might have really benefitted from a pragmatic answer. I'll share this now, for any future run-in you may have with that nasty, snarled-toothed, flu bug ... it's called "Oscillococcimum". It is a homeopathic, over the counter flu buster! I am 100% serious about how well it works! You'll find it at almost any USA natural food, or health food store. I even think that some USA pharmacies carry it now. If you can't find it in brick-n-mortar, you can certainly get it online. I strongly suggest keeping a box or two in your medicine cabinet. At the first sign of feeling funky, take one of the vials, and pour the content under your tongue and let them dissolve. Then take another vial every four hours throughout the day. If it doesn't completely kick the flu bug, it'll dramatically shorten the length of your illness. It's not expensive. And, the popularity of it has grown exponentially over the last few years. As people find out about how well it works, they tell others, who tell others. You know how it goes. Anyway, sorry to hear you were under the weather for so long. That is so frustrating!

Don't feel bad Acuityplague. I've known about it for years, and I can't pronounce it either. But, hey it works -- and it comes in vials. Yeah, vials are cool!

Thank you Ladyluna! I have never heard of Oscillococcimum, heck I can't even say it! I will have to seek this out the next time I'm sick, I HATE the flu. I love that it comes in vials. Vials are so rare these days, I want one! Thanks again:)

You need to drink lotsa water and have a good rest. Take some medicine is it is a serious case. After you recover, you probably need more vitamin C if you get sick easily. :/

Thanks for the advice! I was not drinking enough water. Water does make a difference it seems. My husband also said Vitamin C! Maybe I should start taking it everyday. yaya

I'm afraid no one can give you a cure: they'd make a fortune if they could. With all the great inventions of man, no one has come up with a cure for the common cold. I can offer you something that tastes pleasant and will help alleviate sore throat, coughing and stuffiness, and will make you feel much better. This was given to me by a Chinese doctor, and I know many people who have been greatly helped by it. Almost fill a mug with Coca Cola. Add a full teaspoon full of minced ginger (either finely grate raw ginger or use the bottled minced ginger - NOT ground ginger) Put it in the microwave for a minute or two and drink it hot.

I actually tried this. It made my throat feel better but I must disagree with it tasting pleasant. Worth the feeling of relief for my throat though! Thank you!

So you were sick. Naturally. You weren't talking to me then. Now that you are talking to me, you would be too busy drooling over me that you have no time to get sick.
