lisaroo2 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 ...have a quick moan? I feel awful... achy bones and a complete feeling of exhaustion. I was fine yesterday/last night, but have got up feeling yuk! I've had lots of rest today and have done basically nothing, I've jts not got the energy. I've had lots of drinks and thankfully my apetite hasn't dissapeared as yet, I'd worry if it did as I'm thin enough already. I'm so cross as over the summer I'd put some weight on and have tried really hard not to do too much to make myself ill - and now I am!!! Sorry to whinge, especially when there are people out there that are worse off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisaroo2 Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Thanks to you both! I'm snuggled up on the sofa with my laptop watching tv at the mo, waiting for husbie to come home. I've been drinking orange juice for my vitamin c and am just generally keeping warm and trying not to think about all the things I've got to do before monday!!!

redhotchick Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hope you feel better. Garlic has a broad anti viral spectrum. A good excuse to eat lots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hot lemon and honey is good for colds and if you really want to frighten it away, add some grated ginger - it looks disgusting as it floats on the top! You can use lemon squash or sliced lemon - but that is mainly for soothing sore throats and citrus = vitamin C - the ginger helps to fight the cold. But I had a really run down day the other day - I even went to bed in the afternoon - which isn't like me at all. So best thing is rest rest and more rest. For more vitamin C = green peppers (best raw for the benefits) and blueberries seem to be good for just about everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hope you're feeling better soon. In our area there are lots of bugs going around at the moment. I presume its the kids going back to school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Have you got swine flu or is it just a cold. Hope you are in the mend, paracetamol and fluids and TLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisaroo2 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi All Thanks for all your good wishes! I do feel abit better today, but have still spent most of it tucked up on the sofa!! Lots of drinks and regular paracetamol seem to be working. I'm still achy but don't have any cold symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat etc, so that I feel grateful. I presume I've picked up a nasty viral infection from the kids at college. Thanks once again and I hope you've all been able to enjoy the nice sunny weather with your chooks!!!
