Everybody's sick!

October 13, 2008 5:54am CST
It started with my brother, he was ill a few weeks back and he passed it on to my two other brothers after he got well a few days ago. My youngest brother sleeps with my grandmother and this morning, my grandma woke up sick also. I thought since I'm healthy and strong, it wont get to me. But no, when I woke up this morning I was so sick. Huhu. Even our helper is sick! The only one who has not gotten the virus yet is my sister. I was lying in bed all day. What a mess! It's a good thing I have some energy to drag myself in front of the computer and log in here in mylot. I really need some socializing. Haha. Just want to know. When was the last time you got sick? Do you still visit mylot even if you're not feeling well?

i believe you had a flu, right? well, that is just a common infection and would always spread around the house if you aren't properly protecting yourself from it but even so, there are just tons of different strain so it is impossible to prevent it. since i went abroad, i think only a handful that i've been sick, although i was able to complete my immunization, which is great. but with the minor conditions, seldom i been affected with it so far and please don't pray for that. get well soon.!!

did you know that there's really NO specific meds for that and it only kills the symptoms you felt brought by the flu. and even the vaccines are not killing everyone specially the new strain that keeps on coming out each season. though flu vaccines really help in most cases.

Family sickness is hard to avoid, especially when there are so many of u living together, and the ventilation is not good enough for the germs and virus to go away.. hehe The very last time i fallen sick was 4 months ago due to flu.. But i din see the doctor, instead i keep sneezing and even go for my runs, to cure my flu.. lol =D though i know i can die from runnin when i have got flu, but that's the best way to clear my nose fast and breath better.. hehe.. Unless i have very high fever, if not, i will still be visiting mylot if i'm just sick ^_^

YEah, because running is the fastest way to cure my flu, but at the same time, it's highly possible for me to collapse from my run too.. haha

15 Oct 08
You still ran? Wow. I don't think I will ever have the energy to run at all. The best thing I can do is log in here in mylot. Haha.

Virus ts a very element.When it comes,does not spare anybody. So is the case of your family. It will visit each body of your family members. Now it is staying with you.Infection of virus makes health very weak. I advice you to drink a glass of slight warm lemon water with one spoon of salt thrise a day. I think you will feel better. You ask your sister to do the same.I must say you are very energetic.I'm free from virus for long time.Wish you will recover soon.

Thank you bhanusb! I will do that. I love lemons anyway so it wont be a problem. Yesterday, I was a little better but today I'm back to being sick again. I really need to rest. Thanks again!

My internei connection is diturbing today very much.My composed matter spoiled several times.However You take doctor's advice and do accordingly. Side by side you follow my previous suggestion.Lemon water is good for health. Virus infection has it's own course.It takes three to seven days.Then you wii be alright. You are an intelligent lotter. So we want your presence always. I pray for your early recovery.

divinegwapa, First, I hope that you are feeling much better with this read. I just recovered from a bout of cold a month ago and I can assure you getting was sure a problem for me. Anyway, I just slept throughout and did not even touch the computer for 3 days. Total rest as I am sure the internet and whatever will still be available on the net once I have fully recovered. Get well soon and do take care.

I have not been sick for years. I've not really noted that until I saw this discussion. Oh I really am should be thankful to God for my good health. When I was younger I would experience getting flu and like what happened in you family, I'd pass this to another member of the family and so on and so forth. But as I turned older and have learned how to live the healthy way, my resistance to viral deseases has become stronger. The last time I got sick....well, I really can't remember anymore. That was too long ago.

Hi divinegwapa, I'm sorry to hear that you and your family are sick, and I hope that everyone will be better soon. I don't get sick very often, and it has been years since I was sick enough to have to stay in bed. I am overweight by about thirty pounds so that isn't good and sometimes saps my energy, but other than that I am fine. Get well soon. Blessings.

It has been, around 2 years since I got really sick that I cannot work. I get the normal colds and running noses, but so so heavy that I have to stay in bed and take care. I still get up and run around, attend college if I want to, but not in the bed no. Its must be contagious and make sure that you visit a doctor. bourne

Hi there! Virus is very common nowadays due to bad whether. It's so hot and then it suddenly rains. Well I have not been sick for so long except for some minor headaches due to lack of sleep. I also have allergies sometimes. But if I'm not feeling well, I just take some rest, sleep for a while and after waking up I usually feel ok again and as long as I can type and think. Get well soon friend!
