I am so sick...

I mean really sick!

Published on November 12, 2005 By Double Zero In WinCustomize Talk

It's been over 2 years since I have gotten the flu and I would have been quite happy had I never - EVER - gotten it again! I HATE being sick!!..((LoL..who really likes it, right?))

Aside from doing all the usual- Plenty to drink, Juice, Water, Tea (not alcohol..but I may try it!), Eating fruits and veggies high in vitimin "C" And the "Rest"... Well..Ok..I have a problem with the whole "Get Plenty Of Rest" thing...I cant afford to lay in bed..but thats the only part that I skimp on!..

Anyway.. What I was really interested in asking everyone, since WC is *World Wide* is- what are some of your own home remedies for the common flu..

Like for instance, my grandmother swore chicken noodle soup was the "Cure" for the flu (And yes I am eating a bowl of it as I type this, LoL)

Others have said Garlic has potential, although I love Garlic I can only take so much of it for reasons I really do not need to mention, LoL..

So, how about it, what are some of your family flu remedies....

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and input!...

Cindi, Echinacea is great advice, I actually forgot about it, I used to drink it quite a bit in SoBe brand Green Tea. Im sure that getting it in the pill form would probably be more effective thanks!

I've had the flu 3 times in my 80 something years...What I did was, puke and shit till...well, till I didn't puke and shit anymore!

LoL, CC, I could swear those are the symptoms of a hangover and not the flu! Of course I cant swear to it...

And lastly, MR TYCUS

SPAM-SPAM-SPAM!!!!

As a member of WC I promise you Mr Tycus I was not at all "Spamming" this site, I was simply asking a question of other members in hopes of getting well faster..

Heres a Definition or two...

SPAM

1. (From Hormel's Spiced Ham, via the Monty Python
"Spam" song) To post irrelevant or inappropriate messages to
one or more Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists, or other
messaging system in deliberate or accidental violation of
netiquette.

It is possible to spam a newsgroup with one well- (or ill-)
planned message, e.g. asking "What do you think of abortion?"
on soc.women. This can be done by cross-posting, e.g. any
message which is crossposted to alt.rush-limbaugh and
alt.politics.homosexuality will almost inevitably spam both
groups. (Compare troll and flame bait).

Posting a message to a significant proportion of all
newsgroups is a sure way to spam Usenet and become an object
of almost universal hatred. Canter and Siegel spammed the net
with their Green card post.

If you see an article which you think is a deliberate spam, DO
NOT post a follow-up - doing so will only contribute to the
general annoyance. Send a polite message to the poster by
private e-mail and CC it to "postmaster" at the same address.
Bear in mind that the posting's origin might have been forged
or the apparent sender's account might have been used by
someone else without his permission.

The word was coined as the winning entry in a 1937 competition
to choose a name for Hormel Foods Corporation's "spiced meat"
(now officially known as "SPAM luncheon meat"). Correspondant
Bob White claims the modern use of the term predates Monty
Python by at least ten years. He cites an editor for the
Dallas Times Herald describing Public Relations as "throwing a
can of spam into an electric fan just to see if any of it
would stick to the unwary passersby."

I think he was saying that the canned meat was the remedy

Of course, I could be wrong.

SPAM? I grew up on it!

Unfortunately, this from experience, it will only make you barf all the more!

Make sure and keep up with your fluids so you don't dehydrate after you suffer the above symptoms. Plus it hurts to puke with nothing in your stomach.

LoL.. I apologize to Mr Tycus if I misunderstood his reply, but I really dont think he was telling us that the canned meat product was a remedy, at least I cant imagine anyone believing so!..

But you know, I lived in Hawaii for a few years and the Hawaiians really, really like spam!, you can actually buy it in the convienence stores there, in place of the usual burgers and dogs, LoL! They may just think it would cure the flu!...
