Awww honey. Sorry to hear that. My husband was just sick throughout the holidays!!! It was the flu. I was sick prior to Christmas and got over it quickly--no flu shot.

Do you have a temperature? You should drink PLENTY of fluids and take a pain reliever like ibuprofen or acetometophin. If you cannot hold anything down or if you have diarrhea, go to the doctor. Either way, you need LOTS of liquids, such as water and Gatorade to replace the electrolytes lost.

Then, you need to rest by "swaddling" to sweat it out. And try some broth when you are ready to eat.

I have a very stubborn cold. I've been coughing since before Christmas, and my head feels like it's going to explode. I'll have moments where I think I'm getting better, only to have them give way to moments where I think I'm getting worse. blech. And the drugs I have don't seem to be working. Maybe I should go to the doctor...

I really wish people would stop coming to work as sick as they are. It's making me nuts. And yeah, now my sinuses are all congested.

We are fighting red tide here, and I hate it. It makes you feel like you have a bad cold. And it's been here for over a month. I'm tired of coughing, sneezing, hacking, burning eyes... It even caused problems for my parents when they came down for Christmas.

I got a nasty case of that Anal Glaucoma kicking in today....

Sore throat - and I can barely go 2 minutes without coughing.

I love the season change.
