theraflu and me

Post by Gator »

It’s that time of year again when I seem to stay sick. Between sinuses and general colds not to mention I’m now living in a city of millions. But thank god for theraflue this stuff rocks nice warm liquid but the down side is it puts me out.

Not sure how much I will be playing till I knock this cold out as after work I just feel like curling up in bed.

Anyone else have any great over the counter cold remedies? I don’t like zicam

I heard standing on your head while eating the meat of a dodo bird while reciting the US constitution backwards helps that kind of thing...

Other then that, i have no clue! :P

Argh. Sorry Gator. :( Have you ever seen a specialist? You could be over-sensitive to certain germs, hence your troubles each year. I had that years ago and had to undergo some immunotherapy (big word but easy treatment) and then all was OK for years. I had to redo that from time to time.

Man I got sick this winter & the lady who stays below me had these tablets, she had a few left & gave them to me. Taking 2 knocked me out for like 14 hours then the next day I took another 2 & slept more.

I Woke up feeling 100%. I got sick again & had 3 left so took 1 before bed & 2 the next morning & woke up 100% again.

I was stupid & gave the empty bottle to a guy that I work with & never wrote down the name. I will speak to neighbour again & see maybe they are available in your country but they are the berries.

PS Gator check Raids section for Inf key hopefully we can do it on Friday
If its not broken, Your not trying hard enough!!

Should be able to make it Friday need to do the ole gmt conversion thing lol think your talking about zicam maybe grind probably not as it doesn’t make you sleep. That stuff works great though but has a possible side effect of losing your sense of smell 0.o I like smelling things so don’t take that anymore. lol Even though I think it’s only the spray nose gel stuff and not the tabs that can make you lose your sense of smell.

I have never been able to stand on my head……. So I can’t try your idea kitty….... seems $)!@# clubs and loads of liquor have knocked a cold out in the past but I think I’m to old for that now.

It might be something like that word you mentioned chrisax lol have had this problem for as far back as I can remember. My mom has the same problem well did until she got her sinuses drilled out. But that only last for a few years then you need to get it done again seems a little drastic to me.

Well I should be working…… So guess I will get back to that for another hour

I hope you don't take this the wrong way or anything, and I'm far from a doctor or anyone having any idea about what they talk about.
I used to get sick at least every winter, but then i changed my lifestyle. I stared working out, and changed my diet. For me, a healthy lifestyle, nutritious food, exersice and good quality fish oil works wonders. havent been sick for years after i changed my lifestyle, and i feel grate as well :-)

And if i feel my troath starting to itch, a OD of vitamin C knocks it right out in a few hours! (dont overdo the vitamin C tho, too uch isn't healthy at all...)

I have a pretty good diet that is recent though. And I’m about to start going to the gym again. You can’t really take that the wrong way it’s good advice. I live in LA and it’s pretty easy to eat healthy here but they also have some very unhealthy food that’s really good. lol I only go to fatburger about 1 or 2 times a month although I’m sure I could have a massive heart attack from that alone.
