Alright I have just finished perhaps the hardest 3 weeks of my life (little sleep, multiple papers, and finals....err and a little bit of partying :)) and now that I'm at home and slowly getting in touch with friends I find myself feeling really really crappy.

I forgot to get my flu shot this year and I can feel the flu fairy creeping up on me. Throat getting sore, headaches, chills. But I think I'm in the very beginning stages. What (if I can do anything at all) can I do to stop this ah heck from hitting me? I don't get sick easily but when I do oooh is it bad.

I've been drinking lots o' the H2O and plenty of Orange Juice, but almost every hour I can feel it creeping up on me. I'm thinking will power alone won't get me better this time.

Please any advice would be cool, I can't get sick now. All of the fun is starting :)

Suck on Halls Defense Vitamin C drops. Also Zinc losenges (sp?) help too. Good luck. I didn't get the flu shot yet this year either and I'm just getting over the bug. :(

There's something you can get from the doctor (prescription) that if you take early enough in the flu you will be over it in a day, though tired. I don't remember what it is called though. Dr. Dean Edell used to talk about it.
