I'm Dying

Awww honey I'm so sorry your sick. Stay away from that baby of yours .... LOL!! But as for tried and true. Steamy shower with lots of hot water beating on your achy bones, Nyquil (Denis Leary no cure for cancer will explai nwhy), and tea. Also maybe somewhisky in the tea. Other than that I'm sorry but your going to have to ride it out without getting your kiddos sick. Have fun.

WOW! I'm so sorry to hear you're under the weather. My sympathy definitely goes out to you. If it makes you feel any better, I had bronchitis, pharyngitis, a fever of 104 degrees, and a sinus infection only a few days before Christmas. (I was still taking my steroids for the lung pain until shortly after the holidays.) Now, only a few weeks later, I have the achy flu where my back hurts so bad that it makes my stomach hurt when my stomach wasn't hurting at all. When my back stops hurting, my stomach hurts again...sometimes they hurt at the same time. Blah, blah, blah. My stomach has been so upset for the last five days. I just feel icky. So I feel your pain! Here are some ideas that I tried while I had bronchitis about a month ago. First of all, drink water like you've never done before! That will take your temperature down at least a couple degrees per day. It may go back up, but drinking lots of water will do the trick. Also, if you like juice or some kind of flavored drink (other than soda/pop), drink that also in between your glasses of water. What I usually did for my fever was carried a huge water bottle around like it was my lifesaver or something. (LOL) My family always laughed at me. Another thing you can do is sleep, sleep, sleep. If you're up doing laundry, it's wonderful to get things done, but you're not letting your body rest enough. Do the things around the house that must be done today. Let everything else go for a while. If you can't get into a deep sleep, lay on the couch or comfortable recliner and watch TV. I've never watched more TV than I did the week before the holidays when I was sick! (LOL) I learned a lot too. It was funny. You may also want to consider a hot bath or shower. Let your chest clear out by breathing in some hot steam. One of the only times I felt almost back to normal when I was sick was when I was taking a hot shower. It really help me feel rejuvenated. It's definitely worth a try for you to get better! I'm happy to hear you're not having any sinus effects. That would be a shame! I certainly hope these ideas help you and that you start getting well very soon! We need you back on myLot. :)

All I can share is, just take a good and long rest. It makes you feel a lot better.

Don't have any tried and true remedies but I feel for you.Try and get well,it takes time.My last cold lasted 3 weeks and it was miserable.
