Down with the sickness

Subject: Down with the sickness Thu May 01, 2008 10:40 pm

I was curious how you lads and lassies baby yourself (or want to be babied) when you are sick as a dogg.

What cures or relieves what ails you?

What special stuff do you use to feel better?

GO!! Basketball

This works for me:

A-I get as much real, quality rest as I can. I go out of my way to slow down and rest......as it refreshes and rebuilds my body.

B-I take as much vitamin C as my body will stand without giving myself *the runs*. As i've done this (a lot) I know how much my body can stand. It is variable by each individual. Find your 'tolerance' for vitamin C and then.......go for it.

C-Take other supplements and vitamins and minerals as you can.

D-Stay off the *bad* stuff while you are sick. Colas, energy drinks, etc. Lots of water and 100% juice.

E-Eat healthy.

F-Prayer. I place this last......perhaps it should be first, eh?? Question

whew... you made me think of a band I really hate.

Me.. left alone with lots of drugs, if we're talking accute miserable sick..

Chronic stuff... same as Greg was saying... but I've been taking 500 mg of Vitamin C everyday now sick or not...and it seems to do wonders for my chronic conditions.

Lately, I've been attempting to eat alot of fish, avacado, garlic adn raw tomato's... powerful healing foods right there.

Points:

1. I'm really glad to find out you are well Angel and were just asking after info and are not sick. Cool. Cool

2. I really liked what you said about daily doses of the vitamin C AshenV. That is good to hear.

I believe you are doing your body and your immune system a great service by daily intake of C and not just doing it when you are sick. Twisted Evil

I take between 1,000 and 1,500 mg. of C each and every day. Twisted Evil

That is a part of why i'm the healthiest person at my house.......and have been for years. cheers

Now if I could just get a handle on the brain tumors and car wrecks.

I take a multivitamin every day. So, unless I'm exposed to a really nasty virus, I don't really get sick.

I do have allergies, though. But, I can take the wonder drug Zyrtec (the 24 hour med. now available over the counter) and I am fine. Of course, 12 years of shots helped!

When I do get sick, I drink a lot of water. I also just want to be left alone. When I'm really ill, it seems that all I want to eat is french fries baked in the oven. I know--I'm weird.

Good question:

I watch my Seinfeld - Season 3 on DVD - it's a tradition.

Fluids

Rest....except the last time I was so irritated that my workouts were being ruined that I lifted anyhow. The hour or so right after is when I felt the best! The endorphins, I've been told! Yeah, endorphins! cheers

I rarely, rarely get sick, but I have a tendency towards allergies, too, in the spring. Because I take blood pressure meds, I just use Vicks and a lot of tissue! Razz

My daily vitamins are: a super B complex, extra folic acid (only women over 45 should take this, not men), potassium, massive fish or flax oil, iron 3X a week (I have a tendency towards anemia) and a baby aspirin.

Hmmm, 2 nyquil tabs, 1 shot of fine Kentucky bourbon, go to bed, pass out, wake up better or repeat.

I've never used the NyQuil tabs. I don't like the liquid NyQuil. Oh, it works....for about 3 hours. Then, I suddenly wake up from night sweats and am wide awake!

I can get the Dollar General store stuff, and I will sleep all night long with the same dosage. I don't know what the differences between the chemical compositions are, but they sure work differently on me.

Biggest problem with NyQuil is that they changed the formula a couple of years ago. They took out the alcohol and pseudoephedrine because they didn't want kids getting drunk (go use Listerine instead) and methheads getting high (they'll switch to crack - much safer).

I'm with alldat, just leave me alone. No fries though, that's too weird. The bad thing is, my wife is just the opposite so we tend to try to treat each other as we would want to be treated.
