You should get out and mingle with people. Spreading joy and love where ever you go.

I take my vitamins everyday, eat properly cooked food, and don't go around licking the ends of used needles, so the worst sickness I've had recently (knock on wood), is a sore throat and some free-flowing mucus. Haven't taken a day off from work because of being sick since I started 18 months ago and I've lived in three separate places and traveled quite a bit.

There was that sinus infection that was made worse by jumping out of a plane at 13,500', but I just sucked it up.

I had a staph infection in my calf once that was so bad I had to be hospitalized for it because I could barely walk.

I still managed to shuffle around to pour myself a glass of water, pop some pills, and throw together some calories on a plate.

It has been a long time since I've been that sick. I'm married though so I can always count on my wife being there for me.

I marathoned TV shows. I think I got through three seasons of West Wing one particularly bad winter when I was back home from College and thought I was dying.

Not the chemical lol its a disease almost like dysentery. They call it immonia or something here

It's called immunia, affecting the immune system. It's understandable that it would be confused for other words, however, especially if English isn't your first language. Don't take those assholes seriously.

I am sorry you are not well. i know what it feels like. i have 4 auto immune disorders one being lupus nephritis which placed me on dialysis. my family are not caregivers and my only child passed away 9 years ago. so you could say i'm sick and alone.

what i do is keep my mind positive, easier said than done. sometimes you fail at it, but think of each day as a new day to start fesh and positive. you neer know some braniac humanitarian may have a cure for you. if you want to talk to someone you can email me but just know you are not truly alone in this and many are where you are.

stay strong and hopeful. also ignore the naysayers who are clueless as to what its like to be sick. because you said sick not dead. as for movies, they really suck most of them, hallmark channel is pretty good. i like denzel washington movies, robert deniro, anthony hopkins, there are a few new one ou but at home are limited and you basically have a long wait in between movies. just saw the call with halle berry. it was okay. try that one. its just hit and miss. stay strong emotionally and hopeful. health and wealth to you.

You're home alone? Why are you watching movies? This is the perfect time for some quality porn surfing.
