    Default Flu

    Just a quick question, I went up to visit my sis in philly last min friday morning. By sunday morning I was so sick with the flu.(her boyfriend had it) I've been running a fever of anywhere from 101-102, coughing, very bad sore throat, headaches, runny nose, etc.


    I have these pills from walgreens that I've been taking that are making me feel better somewhat. I took 6-7 today spread out from 12:30-11 tonight. Is this ok? I mean its not too much meds or something? Just wanted to make sure! Im paranoid about things like that cause i HATE taking meds.

    that's really weird. i have flu too (hence the uber-SW postwhoring lately) and got the stuff from WG... i would check the back of the package & dosage instructions. Depends on how many pills are in a dose & what the interval is. If you're not feeling worse right now you should be ok

    I think taking L-Lysine might help the flu recovery happen sooner? L-Lysine is found in the vitamins section of the drugstore...take 1 gram per day (1000mg)...it boosts your immune system. It also interferes with the replication of virsuses such as flu, cold, herpes simplex...there are real scientific studies done on this. I read here on SW about l-lysine a while back, and looked it up online..it's true! I'vebeen taking a gram a day, spread out 2 times a day..and haven't had a cold since January! Not bad, eh?!
    Also, take zinc and vitamin c...good for keeping your body up for the battle

    Eeks, flu's feel terrible, feel better soon. I found it helpful to take short walks outside...made me feel slightly better...but only when you're not having the shivering or hot sweating period.

    What are the pills from walgreens? We can't give advice if we don't know what they are.

    Get a flu shot. I get one every year and haven't had the flu since before I started getting innoculated.

    ditto here. I've been home sick (and on SW) since last Saturday. I'm finally feeling better today and hopefully I can go to work tomorrow.

    I don't know about your pills because I don't take medication of any kind, even painkillers, I'm crazy like that, but a lady told me to drink baking soda diluted in water a few times a day because the virus can't live in it, something about the alkaline/base thing. I know it sounds like an old wives tale, but after I did it I started sneezing like crazy for the rest of the day and now I feel better. It was like the germs were getting out of there.

    Oh, if anyone tries it you have to make sure you use all natural, non-aluminum baking soda, cause aluminum is bad for you.
    I'm confused, but the Chewbacca Truffle Shuffle cleared it up. - Emily
