Someone shoot me......

I want to apologize to whoever it was what had the flu a few weeks back that I poked fun at because I was well. I feel like a soggy poo poo sandwich right now. I just went to the Wally World and loaded up on the strongest cold and flu stuff I could find, as well as orange juice and cough drops. What really bites the most about this is that my baby girl made a week old today and I try to stay out of the same room shes in so I dont get her sick. If I dont start feeling any better tommorrow I guess I will break down and see my doctor. Anyway, now that I have shared how I feel, who ever I poked fun at can return the "favor" as I am sure they are feeling better by now.

Take some echanecia in fluid form right away, then maintain the doses with the capsules.

This flu can last months ;(

I feel you.


I went home a few weeks back, got the flu, then went to my moms, got the stomach flu from my neice. Then I had to drive all the way back to Michigan, hadn't eaten in a few days. Then I went to work the next night, and then the flu reared back up. I had 104 fever, and had to call in to work again. I was sick for almost two weeks.

Hope you get over yours soon, don't go to the doctor, no cure for the flu. Just suck it up and get over it.

Flu - the final frontier.
The challenge? Whether you can take all those medicines and keep them down - or if it is better to just heave your guts up until you are empty anyway...

Oh yeah. Been there. I thought it was an extended hangover though.

Poor Bigdaddy doesn't feel good?
Get plenty of sleep, and I hope you feel better soon.
My daughters have been passing some kind of cold between the two of them for the last month. So far, I haven't gotten anything except for a slight sore throat.

My wife gets the echenacia (sp?) at her chiropractor.

She refers to it as "Liquid Death"

It does work though. You might want to cut it with some grape juice. and get well soon, BigDaddy

I had 2 separate doses of stomach virus this winter (one may have been food poisoning)

The only good thing about being so sick is that it really makes you appreciate it when you feel well!
There will be a day, hopefully soon, when you will wake up and feel like yelling:
"I am BACK!"

You can get it at health food stores, in the Homeopathic remedies section. Many supermarkets are carrying these now too, a lot of them have a health foods section.
