Hope everybody is doing better!!!!! Sounds like you've all given some good advice. The cinnamon thing cracks me up!! Wonder if she really tried it. Seems like if she did, she would have reported the results next time she saw you, Sheryl. She probably thinks you're weird or something and is afraid to bring up the subject.....

Janet & Diana, hope you are much improved. My hubby makes a mean chicken soup and freezes it to share with sick friends. Everyone says it really does the trick.

And Sheryl, hope I don't get sick, but if I do, I'll try the Vicks and let you know. I sure use it on my chest when I get congested and I think it helps a lot. Hubby likes the Musinex. He says it works very well.

Janet, I have some Mexican antibiotics I'd share if we were closer!!!

HAve either of you gotten a flu shot yet? Might not be a bad idea if you're already starting with stuff. I need to get in for one soon myself.

My students are all getting sick and from what I see, here's a summary of what they do that works.

Keep that chicken soup coming! Take your elderberry. Get the flu shot if you are prone to get sick often - it's not too late to build some immunity. Be kind to yourselves. Nap whenever possible.

I feel a lot better than I sound. I'm just trying to stay nice and warm because I'm afraid that getting chilled will cause the gunk in my chest to tighten up. I thought about putting Vicks on my feet but I didn't want to get it all over my sheets and I didn't want to wear socks because I'm having hot flashes and the socks would have been to warm. Thanks for everyone's concern.

Oh hot flashes suck!! Do keep warm in all the good ways and happy to see that you are feeling better.

Do you get the flu shot? I used to when i worked at JB Hunt as it was mandatory. But since I quit almost 7 years ago I have not had one since. Odd thing is, is that I haven't had flu since I stopped taking the shot. Go figure?

Still wanna make ya that soup though!

I've had my flu shot, but every year I get this sinus, chest congestion, ear ache and sore throat. Finally got a Z Pack anitbiotic from the Dr. I should be back to normal (?) any day now. Those work great.

No, I don't get the flu shot. I don't get the flu very often but I have trouble with colds. They like to settle in my sinuses, throat, and chest. I always worry that it could turn into pneumonia.

YOU worked at JB Hunt? I have a cousin and her husband works in the offices there. I think that he's pretty high up in the company. His name is Mark Greenway. Have you heard of him or know him?

Also, I'm still waiting for the soup!!! LOL!!!!!
