I can't reach my mom right now, and I'm slowly realizing that I'm feeling worse and worse. What can I do to prevent getting worse and developing a cold?

Thanks,
nik
 
Beer is your friend. Seriously vitamin C is your friend. Also just take some Cold/Flu pills and they should help out.
 
Like... one glass of orange juice? Would drinking the full 2 quarts from the concentrate do me more harm that good? last time I was sick, I drank 2 quarts per day... I loved orange juice.

look at how much is in the oj you are drinking. i would recommend 100% of your daily value. your body can't store VitC so drinking more than that does nothing.
 
lol, this "mom" is sick in bed myself and looking for a runner to fetch me some popsicles, sorry Dr Mom is closed for the day

Megadosing with vitamin-C (taking more than the RDA) has shown in at least one study to be of some benefit.

that link says to take 1000mg every hour. but this site says to take 8000mg every HALF HOUR! so you decide. i'm sure there are plenty of debating topics on VC but they all have one thing in common: any amount of Vitamin C, as you start to feel terrible, has been shown to help in studies. 🙂
 
Take 200mg Vit C tabs, one every two hours. Anything more will just be flushed outta you.
Lotsa fluids...sorry, this does not include alcohol to kill those germs.... 😉
Chicken soup really does help. It has an enzyme protien that assists the body. Unfortunately, you need the real deal. Canned stuff wont do.
 


<< Have someone take you out behind the shed and put you out of your misery. >>

Aw... we don't have a shed 🙁 😉

Thanks for the help guys (and Baffled2 🙂 Hope you feel better!)

What's going around making everybody sick all of the sudden? My co-worker came down with something yesterday, my boss is complaining of feeling poorly today. Stay away from me, all of you sick people. 😀

Hehe - I'm leaving for a LAN party in a little bit. Guess I should shut off my computer, suck down my orange juice, and rip my PC setup apart, huh.

I noticed this too. People are droppin like flies. Perhaps the change in temperature so suddenly? 6 one day, 60 the next. It is ridiculous!
 
If you are indeed having symptoms, you were infected with the flu virus or whatever you have a few days to 2 weeks ago. so there is nothing to stop it.

You can shorten the term of symptoms by dressing warm, and getting rest, drinking fluids, and the old fashioned chicken soup and OJ thing. If you believe the zinc thing, do that too.

of course all you could have is a "24 hr" dealie...
 
Nik-
Why didn't you call me? I was in my room while you were posting and I know how to take care of my men.
