To be sick this long?... Holy fu*k this is annoying.

Ok so... sick for 3-4 days, feel alot better the next day make the dumb decision to stay up late and smoke cigars with my cousin. Next day, wake up feeling like I got hit by a bomb.. 3 days after that, feeling better.. work an insane busser shift scrapping plates for hours. Back to square one, feel like total fu*king *******. And I currently hardly feel any better, just enough to go to school. I got work on Thursday-Sunday, so I gotta break this. I cough, my whole chest is fu*ked.. my throat is gone, my nose runs badly.. I can seriously blow a couple tissues of yellow snot (Only reason I'm being descriptive is for the nurse on her).. You recommend any medicine in general? I'm trying to make sure I get at least 9 hours of sleep every night, and don't do any physical activities.. just take it easy. I seriously haven't been sick for probably a year since now and its hitting me harder than ever. [:@]

 

Been of and on sick for 2 weeks.. not lying at all.

 

take robatussin cf as directed, go to the school doc and get an antibiotic like Zythromax (only five-seven tabs to take) tequin or amox. Load up on at least 1000mgs of vitamin C and take a zinc tablet daily. take a garlic capsule while you have the sore throat. Two advil every six hours and a gallon of water a day. vicks vapor rup under each nostril when you go to bed so you can breath. Chicken soup and powerade as much as you can.

 

Are you eating healthy? Getting plenty of fluids? Your body is obviously fighting whatever has got a hold of it... Smoking the cigars wasn't the brightest! Working the long shift dint help, either. Not a nurse, but a few years of experience with being a 'rent.

keep up with the rest. Eat healthy. If you're fluids are low drink more, stay hydrated.

 

Thanks railrunner and jazz. Appreciate the advice.. I'm eating half healthy.. have eaten out.

I'm taking a vitamin erryday with added vitamin C. I'll start doing the zinc and garlic.

I'm drinking 8+ water bottle a day easily.. so I think I'm meeting that gallon mark. I picked up some vicks night/daily medicine and just started taking that. prior to that I did advil every 5-8 hours but I think its becoming ineffective.

Today I am gonna go home, take it easy.. have some soup and lay down. Just need to get over this thing.. and since its been going on for like 2 weeks. I already called into work once so I couldnt do it again. I had to man up.. thats life. I work a shat job, bussing.. but its one where they need me. Especially on busy weekends.

But thanks, I'll do whats recommended so far and see how it goes from there. I know the cold weather isn't helping. 34 degrees this morning.. I'm not used to that. I know thats sad.. im an arizona boy[&:]

 

yep lots of fluids and vitamine C pillI dont even bother with anyhting else when I am sick advil and all that medicine is pointless.IMO no better than a cure-all sugar pill that make you think you took real medicine. I can understand taking a decongestant that makes you sleep when you go to bed. Other than that i recommend a hot totti: tea(your choice i like constant common night time) a spoonfulofhoney and a shot of burbon. Trust me drink one of those before bed with a PM decongestant you will be out like a light for a good nights sleep. Just lie in bed when you dont have anyhting else to do aka work/class/hw that cant be done in bed etc.

Oh one more thing no stoggies on an already stressed imune system ..... duh

 

yeah - just ride this one out -
[:'(]

sounds like u couldve relapsed just when your body was recovering -
u pushed it a bit too much.


Pretty much agreeing w/ Everyones posts - Lots of Rest & Hydrate.
you taking any medicine for the cough? sounds like u need an expectorant.

are u running a fever?

 

Jazz, You know his fluid level will remain low, cause he is a young man andall day at schoolhe looks at girls, and when he comes home...
