Sick

[Janet]

I used to get strep throat twice in the winter time..but since I've been getting flu shots, I haven't had it for 2 or 3 years now. I also start taking something at the very first sign and usually doesn't get too bad at all.

Oh I am glad to feel you are feeling better today. It's so crummy when you don't feel well.

I usually only get ill about once or twice a year. During that time I never get outta bed. I lie there with my fur kids all snuggled up and my hubby takes care of everything.

Oh, I also cry like a big baby when Im sick.

don't feel bad about crying...i bawl my eyes out and call my "mommy" and i'm 32 years old!!!my hubby will watch the kids and he always goes to popeye's and gets me mashed potatoes and gravy because that is all i want when i don't feel good. But if i am deathly ill my mil watches the kids and my mom takes me to her house and babies me till I feel better esp. if hubby is offshore. I like to soak in a really hot tub of water with bath oil cuz when i get a fever my skin dries out fast....i will alternate between the hot tub and my bed with an electric blanket and my doggies snuggled in with me.

With winter approaching it's going to bring on "flu season". Hopefully there will be plenty of suggestions and home remedies from the ladies here to make us all feel better!!!!

Oh Lord I hate being ill, and dread the day it happens.
