..the door is locked, the light shaded, the duvet envelopes me, and the time on the clock has frozen.

I'd love a few days off work...

'Lucky?

Happy to trade places!

I'll take work and being active, you are welcome to have mucus filled sinuses, headache, ears popping, dry cough, painful tight throat, painful eyeballs, aching body, and upset tummy.

Keeping my fingers crossed ill be better tomorrow. Have so much need to get done, and doing nothing, means earning nothing!

Ah yes....I forgot the earning nothing thingy...have the same deal or nothing would ever get done!

I hope it is just a cold, a mate in Chiang Mai has been laid up with a really nasty 'flu for the last 2 weeks.

Hope that too Scea. Still feeling pretty rotten this morning, after a rough night. Want to get on with stuff, but my body isnt letting me. Very frustrating. I dont get sick like this often, thankfully. Feel like ive been hit by a ton of bricks!

Four days, and im sort of back on my feet again!

Im suppose from the fever etc, was actually flu, but im very bad for getting anything checked out.

Still coughing and wheezing, and going through copious amounts of tissue...but im much less like a snot bog monster now.

so long virus, you wont be missed!

Err why go to the doctor when all he is going to give you is bag of pills that most likely wont' have a whole lot of effect. best remedy for a cold is bed rest and plenty of fluids.

I find plenty of hot lemon and honey in tea cuts the suffering period by days.

VEry true!

Scea, was much the same as that. But i made ginger and honey instead. Took rest, drank lost of fluids, used that electrolyte powder stuff and really just rode it out.

Was a pretty nasty hit. Surprised me!! Hate getting sick.

Currently I'm getting over a nasty dose of shingles.

Wasn't sure what it was - so went to the quack. She told me it was shingles and prescribed tablets the size of a house-brick.

Still the really nasty itching has died down and I can wear clothes and bed-clothes, which hasn't been possible for 3 or 4 days (except when I visited the doc!). Told that I might spread chicken-pox, so haven't been near any kids,

Regarding coughs and colds - I had a cough about a year ago that was bad enough to keep me off work. Went to the doctor in Saigon (Argentinian) and he diagnosed pneumonia. Took me about eight months to recover fully.

Ouch humphrey, how horrible.

Hope the shingles clears up fast for you.

(8months ..omg!)

My Brother suffered from shingles a few years back and he still swears the only reason he got over it was because of oatmeal.

You grind oatmeal into a paste with water and apply, instant relief. If you google "colloidal oatmeal" lots of suggestions.

In terms of a cold, fluids in the day, hot toddy(s) at night.

6 cl Captain Morgan dark Rum

3 dl Hot water.

2 tbs sugar.

1 squeezed fresh lemon / 1 lime.

--stir, not shake ---

Repeat every 30 min.

1 sexy partner opposite sex (or same for some).

I'm curious to know how you manage to get a sexy partner to come anywhere near you while your sick?

Same same except I do tea & honey, rum, lemon/lime.

Second suggestion is a neti pot, sounds disgusting but it really does work.

Sexy partner usually happy I'm sick-more malls can be covered if I'm under the weather.
