Hey girls! Hope you all are having a lovely evening... I have finals for college this week - my first one starting tomorrow, and of course - by murphys law - I get sick! I've been running a temp since yesterday. It went down early this morning (around 6ish) back to 98.8, but rose again to 100.1 this afternoon around 3. My sore throat is gone, but now I've got a horrid head cold and my entire body hurts! I've had tea with honey and lemon to try to sooth myself and that seemed to help my throat the most. I barely got any sleep last night, a snoring bf didn't help much! Haha. So, I need my sanity and health back. I've only got till 12 tomorrow to study for this exam, and its a big one as I'm not doing well in the class Do you girls have any home remedies that may help? I plan on taking some Vicks tonight to help me sleep and possibly and nice warm bath for the steam. HELP!

Hot water, little honey and a whopping big load of grated ginger and sliced lemon. A few weeks ago I had a helluva head cold coming on, so I had some very very hot rice noodles and then some lemon and ginger and it knocked it right out of me! I was still a little headachey but the onslaught I was expecting never came. So something hot to clear the passageways and then loadsa lemon and ginger, as much as you can bear, more than is pleasant. Works a treat! Good luck tomorrow

Go and buy some of those fizzy Vit C and Zinc tablets that you dissolve. I take one, 3 times a day when I feel a cold coming on and it knocks it on the head very quickly. Lots of sleep, hot baths, olbas oil, echinacea etc And hot water bottles!!!

ICK! Well I woke up this morning and still had a fever so my bf demanded I call my gp for an apt. I did and she said that it is viral and therefore could do nothing for me. Basically, I have to ride it out and the best medicine right now is sleep.
The really poopy part is that today at 1 was my final exam and I missed it. I called the professor about 10 times in 2 hours and left 2 messages! I nearly went to the campus (but the final was at a campus 40 minutes away), but I was in no state to drive - I could barely keep my eyes open. I am hoping that I am not in trouble for that, but I do have a note from my doctor saying that I am on medical rest for the next two days.
So, I slept for 2 hours which was godly! Wish I could sleep more, but I need to star studying for my law class exam which is tomorrow. Hopefully I will not get any worse - I'm all drugged up now on cold pills and ibpro., I hate doing that to myself! I've been drinking OJ and taking Vit c - but I think this is one of those colds that is just going to get really bad and then go away.
:\ I just hope my Professor will let me make it up on Friday - if not I've failed that class.

This bloody cold must be going around the whole world. I got it yesterday morning, and as soon I realized it was coming on, I took some cold fx and a whole bunch of vitamins, but I'm affraid it didn't help all that much. Im not as bad as you Tess, (in the cold department I mean), it's just a head cold, no fever, but my eyes are hot and runny and I feel like I'm under water. Tess, I hope you don't have what I had three years ago. It was a hell of a flue bug and my doc told me the same thing. It's viral so you'll just have to get through it on your own. It took a good week to feel semi normal again. I swore I would get a flue shot every fall, but haven't done it yet. Heard some people get fairly sick with it, so I'm a bit apprehensive. Tess, I'm sure your prof will understand. There are probably hundreds of students that are sick right now. Good luck with your test when you write it. Get well soon. Zuzana.
