Help...how to get rid of a bad illness???
I'm feeling absolutely miserable. I had a cold for 2 weeks, and then a few days ago I got a 100 degree fever. I have rested for quite some time in the past 2 days, but I'm feeling worse, if that's actually possible!
I'm feeling very fatigued with a lack of energy, headache-y, and nauseated. I don't understand what's happening! I drink tons of water, have been getting lotsa sleep, and relaxing a bit more. But it's not helping! HELP!! What are your tips to get rid of an illness? I'm getting VERY behind in schoolwork, and I left school today at 10:30 b/c I felt like I was gonna puke! I haven't been going to school for the past 3 days! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif ------------------ "You know what luck is?

Not to sound too obvious...but have you gone to the doctor? Your symptoms sound suspiciously like mono.
Get thee to a physician! If it is a virus, there's nothing you can do but ride it out, but if it's bacterial in nature, a good strong antibiotic will help. Barbara |
Hey Barbara! I don't know if it's mono--I hope not! My friends have had mono in the past--and their symptoms lasted more than a month! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif
Yes, I really ought to go to a doctor, huh? I guess I've been trying to convince myself that I don't need to--but I guess I should! Don't worry--I'm going to call for an appt. after this post http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif. Thanks for your advice!! |
Lots of Vitamin C and a product with Echinacea and goldenseal combined . . . eases flu/cold like symtoms and speeds recovery. It REALLY work and is cheap. just take 2-3 capsules every 3 hours.

Newbie,
Darlin! I hope you made that appt. with your doctor!!!!!! I know how crappy it feels to be sick...I'm pretty bad here myself! I think I'm going in with my mom to the doc's office tomorrow (she has an appt...I'm gonna tag along! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif) I wanna feel better...I have to work tomorrow night and I need the money (but I don't wanna go if I'm all coughing and stuff...how gross would that be?!) I'm a banquet waitress and I personally would be grossed out if my waitress was coughing all night while serving me my food and drinks!!!! EEEEEWWWWW! ------------------ Vera Sister Plum #13 Iota Beta Chi Sorority Webmaster http://welcome.to/iotabetachi |
You might want to try Zinc. Zinc will help with some cold symptoms. You can find Zinc in the brand Cold-Ez throat drops. It doesn't taste the best, but it should nurse a cold well.
