I'm Feeling A Bit Poorly Today So I Am Off To Bed Hopefully To Awake Better

Sometimes, that is all it takes, a good sleep to sleep it off, then you just have to wake up and see, maybe have a nice warm bath some hot tea, that might help as well.

Hi ellie, When I need to report for a job, I always taken medication and drink plenty of water. but, if I just stay inside the house, I will just rest, avoid sweet food when your throat is getting red, and drink plenty of water, plus even if you don't have appetite, you have to eat!I hope you will feel better soon!

you really need to rest... dont pressure yourself too much now. you need to be free from thinking anything.. and i mean anything that is.. :)

Ooh sounds like you have a bit of a cold starting. I have read a lot of discussions recently about people suffering with this from all over the world of myLot, I wonder if you have caught it through any of them!!! No, I think that staring at a computer screen will definately make your headache worse and I certainly think that getting a good nights sleep is the best solution. I have been lucky, and have not had a cold for about 2 years *touch wood* but when I do get them I always take a strong painkiller and get myself off to bed early. I really hope that you get better fast, take care xx

hi ellie333. sleep. all your body needs to do is sleep to repair itself. so...when i am ill i will take nighttime meds so i can sleep. if i have to be up and around i just take have of the night time medication...snicker..i try my best to stay away from everyone when i am ill because if they are ill i will just end up taking care of them...and why cant kids hit the toilette when they throw up!

For me, when I get sick I tend to stay sick for quite a while so I try to alleviate it as quickly as I can. I drink lots of fluids to push it through me. I eat soup, whatever I happen to be in the mood for at the time, with garlic. And I take vitamin c. Usually this helps a great deal. If you have Tea Tree oil you might also try adding a few drops, 10 or 15, to a pot of water and putting it on to boil. It takes the germs out of the air and it will help your lungs as well. I hope you feel better soon.

take a full days rest in bed. no mylotting! computers has a lot of free radicals that drains our energy. you need to revitalize your powers! gargle water with rock salt in it to relieve you of your sore throat, if you can, rub a mint ointment on your temple, neck , the frontal base pit of your neck, behind the ears and on your back muscles. drink a lot of water. sleep. it would help to take in some ascorbic acid supplement and some vitamin E. analgesics would help. you will be up and about after a day.

Basically what you have done is what I do....and make sure to get plenty of rest! Hope by now you are feeling better!

Hi ellie, I would do much the same as you have decided, unless things didn't improve in a day or too. I am healthy most of the time and rarely take prescription medicines. Blessings.

I take Echinacea and it helps the immune system! I drink tea, herbal tea, and take a nap when I need it! There was something similar going around here last month! Some people at school are still sick! Some are taking antibiotic but most are not! I hope you feel better soon!

He ellie! Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well Usually what I do is take some over the counter medicines and hit the sheets and if I wake up feeling the same way, I would take a sick day from work and just rest, rest, rest. Hopefully you will feel better soon.

Hope that you feel better in the morning Ellie. XX If you still feel grotty tomorrow - Don't go to work, keep up your fluids and keep warm.

Hope you feel better soon Ellie! I usually sleep it off with lots of water,vitamin c, throat drops and vicks(menthol) and that always seems to do the trick. I never go to the DR. since i can figure out whats wrong and save me some bucks. Talk to you later!

i felt lousy yesterday. i had a low grade fever with body aches and chills and stomach pains that laste for about 24 hours. i feel much better today but low on energy and still not completely myself. i took ibuprofen for the pains and fever and rested but for what i had there was not much else i could do. i lost my appetite a bit so that could be a good thing as i want to lose weight. hope you feel better soon.

Well, I am wishing you the best. Since I just went thru this, and actually am having some problems still with a Cold, etc. this is no Fun. Mine started off with a sore throat 2 weeks ago, and then it was Larngitis just a couple of days later, and then a cold. It has not been a Fun deal for me, and I have also ran a fever as well. I will be saying a Prayer for you that yours does not last long. and you start feeling better soon. Just always remember to take care of yourself first, and myLot will still be around when you are feeling better.

i mainly take home remedies. its very annoying, still i do not take medicines till it is needed to. i take rest also. put a light cloth round the throat. drink hot water. gurgle with saline water. soothers are well for you. take also hot chicken soup.

I take over the counter medicine for sore throats and usually sleep off the headaches. I do take tylenol at times too if sleeping it off doesn't work.

ellie did you have your flu shot this winter? a bad headache is often one of the first signs of influenza and a sore throat.if it does not get better you will have to take some time off from work and really rest tilit runs its course.plenty of fluids vitamin c and tylenol tablets and gargle with salt water for your throat. rest and some hot chicken noodel soup good for the flu really.

I guess you've got a cold, try some medcine. Drink bolied water and make yourself sweat. You symptoms will be much better. Remember to get a good rest, lie in the bed, stoll if you're a little better, try to breath some fresh air~~~ I don't know the name of medicine, as i rarely ill too. You can also try some antiphlogistic

Seriously, sleeping cures almost 90% of the body illnesses. I feel that listening to some piano music and being at a relaxed mood helps a lot. I too,stare at the computer almost 10hrs a day. Most of the time I would prefer to relax half an hour before my actual sleeping time, be at a meditation state. Take in deep breaths,relax. Next morning, take a good hearty breakfast. enjoy the rest of the day.Or maybe you want to go for a light jog before going to work and take your breakfast later.
