There must be a new virus this year. I usually get sick once a year and miss work once a year due to being sick. Well this year it is a hard cold to kick. So, what do you all do to fight the flu??? Starve a cold, starve a fever, feed a cold, feed a fever?????
Hey sweetie, don't have any advice for you but I hope you get better soon.

Hugs,

Feed a cold, starve a fever.
I Hope You feel Better Soon!! My New PCP made Sure I got My Pneumonia and Flu Shots this Year, so I Hope I don"t have to Fight Either! Rest and Take it Easy when You can, and let Your Body have a Chance to Rebuild! My Best, and Have a Nice Day!!Wink
Hi,

I hope this finds you feeling better AQA...but my life long family doctor always told my mom...to allow the "fever" of the flu or a cold to run it's course....it is there for a reason...fighting off the bug!
You must use common sense with this little tid-bit though...as very high fevers are dangerous and need immediate attention.
take care, LillySmile
ahhhhhhhhh Buddy my Daddy(96) is a wise old man his cure for everything is and this is a quote"If whisky cant cure it sex can" so there you go......
Hope you get feeling better, it's tough going to school and being sick.

Tomorrow our local hospital is having a free flu shot clinc. I am going to take my family, and then look at the pneumonia shot.

My 9 yr old has asthma and getting sick is bad news for him.
Starve a fever, Feed a cold, with grandma's home made chicken noodle soup.......
Thank you all for the responces. Last night I tried an old remidy. I went to bed with five blankets on me. I was wrapped up like I was in a cacoon. About three this morning I was sweating like I was in an attic at 180 degrees. I decided to just stay the way I was. This morning I could tell that I am on the down ward side of this. I still have a head ach but my caugh is now a dry one. I made class today and all the instructors were asking what happened. I was suprised at first, then I relized. The other day was the first day I missed all year. So, I will take it easy this weekend and keep my coat on a little longer than normal. Once again, thank you all for your responces.

If we starve a fever and feed a cold, what do we do if we have both?????HHHMMM???

Jayne, Due to proabition, I had to take down the still. So, I have no wiskey. Having sex would violate my restrictions. Any ideas that don't involve a washing machine???HHHMMM?????
AQA............hope this thingy is almost over for you. Feel better.
