I started feeling sick Sunday night and by Monday night it was going full-force: stuffed-up nose, plugged-up ears, headache, sore throat. Here it is Wednesday and I'm feeling a little better, but still pretty crappy.

I always lose my sense of taste when I get sick, so Thanksgiving dinner's going to be great fun if it doesn't return by tomorrow. :(

I also have a detail on a Bimmer 740 scheduled for Friday, but I may have to reschedule that if I'm still feeling crappy. I can't imagine pulling an 8 - 10 hour detail all the while coughing, blowing my nose and generally feeling run down.

That's all...sorry for the rant...I'm going back to the couch...
 
Oh! I'm so sorry to hear your sick! :( I hope that you are able to enjoy your thanksgiving dinner. Feel better soon.
 
Plenty of Zinc...Vitamin C..and hot chicken soup....gets some lemons..cut them up..cover them with water..boil them....add a shot or 2 of ginger brandy..drink hot..and you will recover...

Oh, I am sorry! I hope you are feeling better by tomorrrow!! Make sure you keep taking mediactions consistently. Hey have you ever tried steam? One of those vapor things women use on their face? It really helps to unclog congestion and loosen things up.
Take care,
Lauren

Seriously. I drink hot milk with honey, and stay in bed. (my wife loves it when im sick) NOT

NOT!! You go the JD route, I can tell.
You are quite the comic!!:p
 
Thanks for the sympathy, everyone!

Let's see....from what I've read, I've come up with my own possible remedy. How about a tablet of airborne dropped in a shot of Jack Daniels. Repeat as necessary. That should do the trick!

Actually I'm feeling a bit better now. Just can't breathe out of my nose. My wife was kind enough to pick up some breatheright strips which are helping. Hopefully I'll wake up tomorrow feeling better.

Glad you are felling better. But you still need your rest. Take a few shots of JD tonight before you go to bed.

I would suggest taking zinc daily. In our house, we have found it makes a tremendous difference in if or not anyone gets sick!!

How's the patient? Did you get to enjoy Thanksgiving even a wee bit? Doesn't just suck to be ill on a holiday?

That's like me, I'll go almost a year w/o a cold but when I catch one it's like catching the ebola virus, I'm down for the count lol. And usually it's around December when I catch the bad one so I'm preparring myself:(. We have that that Airbourne stuff that apparently works very well, but I can't handle the taste, makes me want to puke.

I'm doing much better, thanks. Still a little congested and coughing a bit, but the worst is over.

I was feeling just well enough on Thansgiving to actually enjoy it. I had already planned on cooking the turkey, so I wasn't going to let everyone down. I was still tired, but fortunately not as congested and I could even taste a bit of the food.

It was a rough few days.
