I just wanted to let all my friends know that I might not be on Mylot very much for the next couple of days or so. My darling husband and daughter both decided to share their colds with me, and boy has it hit me hard today. I went to bed around 3:30pm today, after I picked my daughter up from school, and slept about 3 hours. I had a fever before I went to sleep, it broke just as I woke up, and now it's back again. Grrrrr! So I'm off to bed again. I will check in every once in a while so you know I'm still alive and kicking. LOL I'll miss you all while I'm gone. Love and hugs to all of you.

Get well soon. My roomie caught one really hard but now seems to be on the mend. I'm hoping to dodge it, but I doubt I will. Best of luck!

I am sorry that you are not feeling well. Wasn't that nice of them to share their cold with you. Make sure you get plenty of fluids and rest. I hope you feel better soon.

Well sleep and orange juice ARE your best weapons, and it looks like you are going to cover the first, LOL. Colds can zap energy faster than a pastor can, preaching about tithing. You take care of yourself!

Get a good amount of rest, vitamin C, potassium, calcium and even more extended rest. Take hot showers if you feel congested in the nose, throat and chest. Keep sleeping and laying down so your body isn't using so much energy.

I'm getting as much rest as I can, and I'm taking medicine to keep the sore throat from coming back as well. It's getting better, but it's a slow process. Thanks sweetie.

*Hugs* Honey and hot lemon is a great way to reduce the symptoms. Chop up fresh lemons in a jug, add a generous amount of clear honey, a couple of cloves, a stick of cinnamon, (whisky or brandy is optional) and fill with boiling hot water. Give it a good stir up and leave it to cool down for a while. I hope you get better soon

Yep...that is definitely an awesome remedy. Of course, I haven't tried it with the cloves yet. But I will. Thanks for the tip hon.

Sorry to hear you're feeling so bad, as colds can 'really take it out of you.' Just make sure you get all of the rest you need, and do only what you're able to. There seem to be a lot of colds sweeping our continent right now. I've heard of so many, and my daughter's had one too, which I'm trying to avoid. Take care.

Hope what you have isn't like whats been going around up here... its a little viral thing we lovingly call 'The Crud'... cold/flu symptoms, flat in bed 2-3 days, and in a week, right about the time you think its gone, it slams you again! This is our worst month for it because of the change in the weather... I'm staying home til it goes away! Keep taking good care of yourself!

Hello katlady, Sorrry to hear you are under the weather... Get well soon..you will be missed, but do whatever you need to do to get well again so we can enjoy your company. It's not fun being down with a cold. I just got over mine a few days ago, and I'm sure it is still trying to get me again. I'll keep fighting it off so I can see you when you come back feeling all better... Get lots of rest, drink lots of fluids, and don't forget the miracle cure, chicken soup. Take care.. Happy posting..
