    Default I'm really sick.

    whine. whine. whine.

    Just wanted to vent that I'm really upset and feeling helpless because I can't work but i need to make money, can't go to class but I need to keep up and do my homework, can barely get out of bed and walk around, and i feel like shit!!!!

    It seems like everyone is sick right now!! What is going on? My whole building is sick... I'm nauseous, have a sore throat, FEVER ( i'm pretty healthy, i rarely get sick enough to have a fever) dizzy, headache.. ugh.

    I'm contemplating giving in and going to student health services to maybe get antibiotics or some sort of Rx that will make this go away.

    whine over.

    Even healthy people get sick once in a while. I'm not up with the science of it, but I think it's good for you to have a bit of a fever every decade or so - kills pre-cancerous cells and maybe does some other good stuff for ya. Just something to consider, and of course you wouldn't want to ignore a fever that was dangerously high.

    Everyone is sick. My SRQ household too.

    Since you're a student, you might as well go to the doctor. Stay hydrated and don't overdo it and you'll get better soon.

    BG: Bleh, yes, me too. My roommates were both sick and now I've got it... fortunately my version isn't as bad, and I can function, but I'm congested and cranky. I had it coming, though... I got through my entire final year of college without getting sick.

    Mast: Thanks!

    Emergen-C, Airborne, all that stuff will, but I would even buy capsulated b12 simply because you can't OD on it, and it's HELP FUL.

    I feel for you guys. I was sick all last week and I hated it. And, mostly it was the frustration of not being able to work.

    I got this feeling that I'm going to get sick a bunch this winter. I don't know why. I think it's because I usually don't catch the first bug that goes around. I also have a kid in daycare so all sorts of nice germs will be brought home and then there is the whole working in a nasty club environment that I'm worried about. Hopefully I'll be wrong. I'll definitely try to stay positive and healthy.

    Take care of yourself ladies. I wish there was a quick fix, but I guess it's just the worlds way of slowing us down for a while.

    I've HEARD about a home remedy that is made by a person very skilled in caring for others. The highlight is that it starts with a boiled whole chicken. I dunnnnooooo though....I may just have to fake it to see with my own eyes.

    *Cough Cough*

    hmmm more from the diaphragm

    Okay, okay! Here you go already! OY!

    JEWISH PENICILLIN

    * 1 whole chicken
    * 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
    * 8 carrots, peeled and sliced
    * 4 stalks celery, chopped
    * 1 parsnip, chopped
    * 1 bunch fresh dill weed, chopped
    * 3 cloves garlic, crushed
    * salt and pepper to taste


    Place the chicken into a large pot with the breast side down. Fill with enough cold water to reach about 3 inches from the top of the pot. Add the onion, carrot, parsnip, celery and dill. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook, partially covered for 2 hours. Do not let the soup boil.

    Skim any fat from the top of the soup, and add the garlic cloves. Partially cover, and simmer for another 2 hours for best flavor.

    Remove the bones and skin from the chicken and cut into pieces. Return to the soup. Now eat! Eat! You're wasting away!

    There's room for improv in all the above, of course. For a vegan, I'd say add miso as the base and throw diced tofu in for protein, maybe serve with udon to make it more substantial!
