Well, yesterday I wasn't feeling too hot- I've been around people who've been sick, and I figured I was catching their cold. But today, the onset of new symptoms makes me think I have the flu bug that's been going around town.

I'm at a point right now where I can't afford to be sick- I may not be working, but I have definite social/school obligations that I really have to do and be there for.

I'm trying to take care of myself- I've been staying *very* hydrated- lots of water and hot tea (actually, I'm worried I might be over-hydrating myself, sore throats can make me feel thirsty even if I'm not), I've been sleeping when I can, and I'm trying to stay warm to help with the muscle aches. I'm also taking cold medication to help with the fever/headache and congestion.

In any case, a few prayers for this to pass quickly would be really appreciated!

I'm Praying!!!

Will be praying

If you happen to live in the United States, perhaps you've heard of a supplement called Airborne? If you take it when you notice cold or flu symptoms starting, it can stop and reverse them before you actually get sick. It also helps you get better sooner...

But in any case, I'll be praying! Keep us updated on how you're doing.

Thanks, everyone for your prayers!

Yes, I've heard of Airborne. I heard of it when ABC news made a report on it- it's a dietary supplement, which means that it has undergone no FDA regulation testing, and in fact, the manufacturer didn't have any clinics, scientists or doctors working there. It's just a vitamin pill that's made to look really good, which has also lead to a few class-action lawsuits concerning how it's marketed...... (not te mention, that also means there are no actual valid studies on how it works).

So while I'm not really sure I want to take that, I am on a multi-vitamin, and eating lots of chicken noodle soup! (helps with the congestion!)

I'll be praying as well ^^

Hang in there and continue what you are doing to take care of yourself ^^

Get better and don't overdo it!

Does this mean you're down with the sickness? ;-)

Praying for ya. Try to throw in some berries, apples, oranges, anything high in anti-oxidents and vitamin C. You may think I'm crazy but also try to get Fish Oil. Do not get the wal-mart brand stuff, look for a health food store for it. And above all else, keep a positive attitude. Worrying actually degrades your health more then you think.

Fish oil? .... worth a try. I'm definitely eating those great fruits, though- I'm a big fruit fan, so I am stocked with apples and orage juice! And I'll try to stop worrying. I'm really bad a t that- all I can think about is what I'm missing doing by being sick.

But again, thanks everyone for your prayers! I'm not better yet (darn it!)- woke up feverish, dizzy, and tired. But I'll keep taking care of myself so I do!

Continuing to pray!

Praying for you hun!

Thanks, guys! While I'm not better yet, God and your prayers are helping this pass quickly (all that's left is the runny nose, cough, and slight fever). I was really afriad this would turn into something worse- I have a history of that happening- but I'm going to keep taking care of myself so that doesn't happen!

Thank you all so much!
