    sick with a cold and need to work.. help?

    help!

    I went home tues night early faking out a cold and now i have a full blown cold! (karma is a bitch!)

    I have a great immune system, so its been a loooonnngg time since i have been sick. Ihave great insurance but try to avoid the doctor at all costs.

    Does anyone have some at home remedies for a cold/bad scratchy throat?

    One of the members told me about Coldeeze, I tried and its one of the only things that help get rid of colds fast. Plus I can work without feeling like I am going to pass out .

    I always want to eat something warm like soup or something that I wouldn't normally eat that is not too healthy when I'm sick. And it's a tradition to eat Popeye's chicken. My mom started that one when I was a kid. I hardly go to the doctor for being sick because there isn't always much they can do and your body is going to try to fight it off. That being said, I had a bad string of colds/flus (7 in the past year or less than a year) and I finally got some Zithromax and I have gotten sick once more since but it wasn't nearly as bad. Being sick sucks. hope you fell better soon!

    I hope you feel better soon. I have been out of work since Tuesday. I'm not going back to work until Monday. This cold is seriously kicking my ass! I'm drinking Robitussin, Orange Juice, popping vitamin C and drinking a ton of water.

    Airborne works too....it's like a fizzy vitamin C and mega vitamin cocktail (dissolves in water). Hope you feel better! I also agree with Farrah's suggestion for using Coldeze.

    Fastest way to get rid of a cold or flu is REST.

    Take your Vit C and some cold meds that will help you sleep. Working sick will only keep you sick longer

    and will make you miss more work than if you just let your body heal itself. Hope you are feeling better soon, babe!

    Its going around here big time. I havent had one in 3 years ans was off the week before last. Rest. Dont work out. I tried that and it made me worse. Drink lots of water. They have these pills at the health food store made by natra bio that say cold on them they are homeopathic and work good. Hope you feel better soon.

    Since I can't stand the taste of chicken often (I only crave it once every month or so).... Miso Soup.. yum!

    Otherwise.. Goji! Yes, I know I know.. however that is seriously what I use and I would promote it even if I didn't sell it. It is more potent than Orange and/or Cranberry juice.

    If I do ever fall ill (usually thanks to the air conditioner at work being too cold.... going hot to cold constantly can wreck havoc on anyone)... I'm over it in a few days thanks to a bottle of this nutritious juice. I just "up" my intack.

    Otherwise, I'm pretty hardy these-days.

    I swear by it.


    EDIT TO AD: I also stick with the saying: Feed a fever, starve a cold !

    In other words, eat eat and eat some more if you have a fever. If you have a cold, it is best to drink more (nutritionally) than eat.

    Works for me.

    Dont work out. I tried that and it made me worse.

    Yeah. That is true. This last time I got sick I went to work out and my trainer actually told me I should have which surprised me since he pushes me so hard. then the next time I was supposed to go work out I skipped it and rested all weekend and monday I felt better. Unfortunately I think rest is one of the best things you can do.

    Comtrex (shelf) or Mucinex (OTC), I worked sick all last week, and no one was the wiser
