    Default Flu

    Today I woke up with the flu. And apparently my period is coming, which also puts me down for the count. I haven't had the flu in so long Im not sure hhow exactly I can make it go away the quickest (my mother in law is coming to town today)

    My worse complaint is the restless/achy joints. It wont let me be comfy enough to sleep, which is what I need to do.

    Help...

    Do you have some leftover muscle relaxants? The hospital gave me some tranquilizers for my flu since there was nothing else they could do for me.....at least you don't have to suffer...
    Drink Gatorade or even Pedi-alyte, eat light food, just lay still.

    No muscle relaxers- god I WISH! I've been drinking those Vitamin Waters and took my vitamin cocktail of echinacea, active vitamin, fish oil, and garlic pills. Also bad is the fact that I have issues with my sinuses, and Im afraid to take sudafed in fear of it making my joints feel MORE achy and restless.

    Can you guys think of anything else? Does Wellbourne work if you're already sick?

    And I got my hubby sick.....

    I have the flu now too, it sucks! Taking magnesium has helped some of the muscle pain that I'm having. Calcium/magnesium, plain magnesium, any magnesium will work. And Nyquil is my best friend for the next couple days. Hope you feel better.

    The liquid works a million times better. I dont know why but it does. I think its because your body absorbes it quicker.

    Good to see your feeling better.

    Definitely continue to take Airborne (if you are taking it) and stay hydrated via Vitamin Water/Gatorade/etc. The flu really kicks your a$$. I had it last year and I was sick for over a week!

    Hope you feel better!
