SICK AGAIN WTF

[joel]

yeah i've been sick all week too.

[geForce]

I got sick in Vegas.. Maybe we all got it at Dave's party before I left.

[nature boy]

that bastard guy. it must have been him.

or someone at the party was sick and got all of us sick. that bastard guy.

anyway, for home remedies, i find neo citran to be the bomb diggy. puts me right to sleep though (i probably shouldn't have drank one just now).

I've been sick for almost 6 weeks now.. sucks.. just after i got over my last one hayden gets sick again and declares biological war on the whole family... i'm almost out of my cold though...

I've been trying Nyquil recently.. it's pretty good... i find it helps before i go to bed... knocked me out for a 4 hr nap on monday afternoon haha...

[supersuk]

[nature boy]

I've been sick lately and no doubt the sleepless nights I had last week were the first symptoms of the worst cold/flu I've ever had. Anyway, a couple of days ago I tried vit D supplementation (1000 IU/day). After one day my unbearably sore throat was virtually without pain. After day two, my head-exploding congestion began to clear. My voice is still quite hoarse and I have a dry cough, but I can finally start seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I now think it's possible that I may be able to do a 23km run on Sunday, and maybe one shorter run even earlier.

It may simply be coincidence that I started recovering after taking vit D or perhaps it was because I might have been Vit D deficient (I do seem to suffer from SAD) so ymmv, but I thought I'd mention it here anyway. I'm sure many of you are desperate for anything that might help.

[nature boy]

actually i remember hearing something about vitamin d and colds/flus, but i thought that was in babies or something? i don't remember.

glad to hear you're better though. i woke up with a dry hacking cough yesterday morning. i popped 3 cold-fx's and drank water all day. by evening i was fine (if i got sick again i think i'd break something).

[Wetundies]

It's Vitamin C. You don't really absorb vit D in pill form, get it from the sun.

[geForce]

I thought you don't really absorb any vitamins that well in pill form.

[nature boy]

dammit, i was up puking last night. i think dave/corris gave me stomach flu.
i had cold sweats half the night too. odd thing is that i feel better now (however i have a feeling that i still may puke while i'm at work).

[geForce]

Holy crap, this stomach flu really is going around like crazy...
