The Illness Thread

Bleeeeh bleh bleh... I am sick now. I woke up at 4pm and I feel like crap. Sore throat too. :(

Ditto. I'm still sick. Horrible cough, since Wednesday.

I'm starting to get a sore throat and my ear hurts. I get ear infections like once a year for some weird reason. One time it was so bad I couldn't do anything, felt like me ear drum burst. If I'm too sick, I just watch TV and do nothing. And drink water and gatorade.

My ears hurt too. It seems like a lot of people are sick right now. There must be a nasty 'flu going around or something...

I could really go for some Gatorade! :(

Strange, I've been asking for gatorade all day. Gatorade = choice of the sick?

Absolutely.. I have no idea why but Gatorade is like a magic tonic for the sick... I've had this discussion before and many of my friends feel the same way.

I never got any Gatorade today but I found the new best thing.. Atomic Apple (Apple/Cherry) flavoured Powerâde. :)

Yes, I have found that Gatorade is very good for you when you are sick. It's always helped me out when I have a virus or something like that. I have found recently that the best drink for an illness is celery juice. Probably hard to obtain if you don't own a juicer, but it works miracles for me. I got severe food poisoning in combination with a reoccuring digestive problem I have, and celery juice helped me produce a bowel movement and had me back on my feet (too much information? :D). Saved me a trip to the hospital, actually. Gatorade afterwards helped restore my energy :).

I always have to go to work when im sick. So i just try and forget about it. this winter i managed to kick two colds in a single day. Since i know i have to work no matter what i kinda just will it away. Heh actually worked so far this year.

Or I drink it away, alcohol is great for colds and sore throats. Especially Bandy or Whiskey.

Well, I get seriously sick maybe once or twice a year, and when I do, it amplifies my athsma, which is the really annoying part.

The thing with me is that one of the generic cold and flu medicines down here make me spaced out and occasionally halloucinate, so I don't really get bored when I'm sick :P . Also, sleeping when you're sick is awesome, as you (well, I) get really fucked up dreams, which I often become lucid in.
