Getting sick...

So, this changing in the weather here, cold then warm, cold then warm, then rainy, and windy, and cold now is totally messing with me!

My throat has been hurting the past couple of days and now I just feel like poop!  I am tired and just relaxing all day!  The weekend couldn't have come at a better time! I totally went to bed last night and didn't get up til 11am and I am STILL in my PJs. I told Gil that more likely than not I would be in the same outfit when he got home tonight from work!

I love my couches...I started in the recliner and now I switched to the sofa...soon I'm gonna eat some soup and head back to the recliner!  I hope I can kick this cold quickly!  Luckily it is only in my throat...hopefully it won't go anywhere else.  I've been taking extra vitamins and drinking tea to soothe it...what else do you girls suggest?

Any old remedies you all have that work GREAT?

Re: Getting sick...

  • Awww sorry that you are feeling cruddy.  Good ol fashioned R & R is the best.  Couple with soup and warm tea sounds like a good plan.  And sounds crazy but pickels always help my sore throat. 
  • I drink an insane amount of liquid. And take coldeze. It's nasty, but it seems to work for me. I think it's just zinc, but I don't know if you can use them when you're pregnant.
  • Ditto the rest and tea! Drink lot of fluids, and get well soon!

    That is because pickles are the source of all that is good in this world.

    AAAAAmen!
  • Definitely tons of liquids, soup, warm tea, vitamins (be sure to take your daily vitamin) and eat veggies and fruit.  Also, stay away from dairy.  I stay away from dairy because I feel like I've read that it can increase mucous production...which you don't want, obviously, when sick.

    Feel better asap!

  • You girls are silly!! I have just been hanging all day, but nothing making me feel much better....vitamins, soup helped a little, but then it went right back!

    Never heard pickles, though I do have to agree that they are soooo yummy!!

    Common misconception. Bacon is what the world revolves AROUND.

    At least my world.

  • Sounds like you're doing the best things. Like everyone said, lots of fluids and I recommend pomegranate juice.
