Susie,

I know it's going around but man do I feel horrible! I had a job interview

today that I had to reschedule because of all of this. Wouldn't look too

good saying excuse me every two seconds to take care of my nose, the poor

thing is red all the way across my face LOL I guess " Puffs " isn't all what

its cracked up to be <smile>

Wow! Temp is 104. Got anything to cheer me up I feel terrible ugh!

Anyone have any home remedies for a cold and flu?? Nothing over the counter

seems to be working for me... I would appreciate all the help I could get

right now. What a whiner huh? LOL

Take care.....Nola

Nola,

I hope you get better so you can get to the job interview.

I have no clue what you could do to get better than what you

are already doing.

Rest,

Susie

Nola,

Sounds like you really are full of this dam flu,

Are u taking echinacea to try & get rid of it faster?

& vit C.

1st sign of a sniffle I take them & a cold & Flu tablet.

Its our winter in June, so I shld have had my flu needle.

I have to organise it soon.

Hope you get better real soon.

Its a shame you got it right when you needed to go

for an interview. If they are decent people they

will understand & wait for you to get better.

I never thought of echinacea before, I usually stuff myself with vitamin C

and Zinc, plus a Multi-Vitamin but I havent heard about echinacea's benefits

before. You know, I usually get a flu shot each year and wouldn't you know

it, this year I didnt. I said " oh it doesnt work anyways " Well now we know

it does LOL

Thanks for all your help and yes I do hope they understand. Had to do some

work online and now I

am off to bed with this fever. Talk to you all later.....Nola

Nola,

My husband uses echinacea and swears by it. I can't seem to take it as I get

sores around my mouth. I was told I was allergic to it. It does work for him

though.

Hope you get better VERY soon,

Susie

Nola-

Sorry to hear that the flu bug caught you. Because it is a virus, there is

not much that can be done, except for relieving the actual symptoms. Take a

fever reducer of your choice (aspirin, acetominophen or ibuprofen), flush

out your system with either water or even gatorade (easier to go down!) and

get lots of sleep (to heal your body). As far as the Puffs issue, there is

always that tissue with the aloe and lotion. I hate that stuff normally,
