Don't you hate it?

One day feeling fine, the next morning you wake feeling like complete and utter crap!

And to top it off, you have plans for the weekend, and try as you might with and the pills and potions you can't seem to shake it :IDunno:

Anyone got any tips how I can get better? Been resting heaps, drinking heaps, even went and splashed out on a "Winter Survival Pack" at the Health Shop.

That's about all you can do ... keep warm, rest up, drink lots of water and wait for the lurgies to skip on to the next person.

Hope you feel better before the weekend

Thanks Sparklechick, would you care to take my lurgies off my hands?

I looked and sounded that bad yesterday my students sent me home!

There is so many people off work at the moment with the Flu, someone used the term "dropping like flies" this morning, which seems fitting!

Me I let them stick a needle in me to get a flu injection a while ago and so apart from the sniffles at the moment I feel fine.

Great! I can send my lurgies to you, and your vaccine can kill the little buggers off!

I doubt she would enjoy the 6 1/2 hour drive up here if she has the flu too.

Ah well, these things are sent to test us.

** Free to a good home, one Flu bug, only 2 days old **

Oh dear. Yeah I can understand that she won't want to drive.

You can keep your flu bug thanks.

[Bluey and Aquila]

Panadol and honey and lemon drink

Or the flu strength lemsip / hot ribena

Lots of sleep, use tissues not hankies, and a warm hot water bottle.

[edshuck]

Limsip?

Sounds like what we have in the states called Theraflu. either thaT OR a bit of rum, in hot water, and some lemon and some honey.

Drink the mix.

Then strip naked. Get into a sleeping bag, ALONE. zip up and sweat it out.

probably does no good but the hot rum and the heat and it will make you feel as though you are doing something.

You sleep and when you wake, hopefully it is gone.

[NiteFenix]

Problem with the stripping down naked part is it's cold in the southern hemisphere now. Freezing to death doesn't help the flu leave now does it?

Edit: I have no idea where Whakatene is but it sounds like it's in Canada. Isn't it cold there year round anyways?

[Penny]

Whakatane is in the Bay of Plenty in NZ

[NiteFenix]

Thanks for clearing that up for me Penny. I'm not geographically sound you know

[Penny]

Its Ok it was My pleasure...

[NiteFenix]

As for my opinion on how to rid yourself of the flu still_thinking (btw have you come to a conclusion yet?) eat lots of oranges. It always keeps the flu away for me during the winter. I buy myself one of those big bags and it survives one week under my wrath *insert evil laugh here*. Not only does it contain Vitaman C which keeps you healthy, it's delicious too so eat up!
