Thanks everyone. I’m starting to feel a weensy bit better. Hopefully, by tomorrow I’ll be more functional.

When I am sick, the only thing I want is my Mommy:)

If you have a cough, you should try Mucinex. I swear by that stuff. Hope it passes quickly.

I just got over being sick, while away from home. Which is basically the worst for me. I want to be in my bed, in my bathroom, in my little bubble of sickness when I’m not feeling good. And I need to have Tylenol, Echinacea, Robutussin DM (if there is coughing involved and usually there is), Lotion Tissues of some variety and vicks vapor rub (I fight it, but it always works!). I’m allergic to Nyquil and Benadryl and I’m not sure what else, so I don’t like to experiment too much with new things. I stick to what I know won’t kill me and try to make it through.

I hope you start feeling better soon!

Kathy: The chicken soup MUST be Campbell’s. Not the even crappier generic, nor the pretentious Progresso either. And I missed the lipbalm part. I need the carmex in the pot (tub? jar?). I nearly always end up needing to rub some on my very tender and raw nose.
And if the cold is really horrendous? Vicks vapor rub. Just like mom used to use.

I’ve been fighting a cold (I think) for about a week now, because our fabulous Ohio weather fairy can’t make up her mind. Since I’m prone to sinus infections, I have an arsenal too: Blistex DCT, Advil Cold & Sinus, diet Canada Dry and loaded ice trays (continually refilled by the fiancé as I use them up lol). Also ginger snaps (ginger helps calm nausea and they’re good anyway), mashed potatoes if I can eat since that’s my comfort food, my trusty gel ice pack usually reserved for my migraines because sinus headaches are almost as bad, and my cat next to me. Oh, and ditto on the girly movies. Hope you feel better soon!

Nyquil is about it for me usually.

I’m just getting over a cold that was seriously kicking my butt. I took a couple of those dissolving Zicam tablets in my achy, sniffling stupor and it has magically disappeared on me a day or so later. They taste like ass and you’re not supposed to drink anything for 15 minutes afterwards so it’s pretty much cruel and unusual punishment.

It was my first time ever taking the stuff so I can’t really say if it was the Zicam or if the cold just went away on its own. However, it is nice to feel like I’ve returned to the land of the living again.

Err, I meant outside Canada.
I am Canuckian.
Hear me be polite and apologize.
And put “u” in words where you wouldn’t expect it.

Echinacea is also good.
I swear by Cold Fx, although I don’t know if it’s available outside the states.
A hot rum toddy is always good.

Oh and the usual arsenal of girl movies. Can’t forget that.

Ewwwwwww.

Lip balm (totally), Campbells chicken soup… the crappy kind with the tiny chewy chicken bits, cool mist humidifier and definitely NyQuil… and not the imitation kind either.

Sorry you’re feeling like cwap.
