I'm 6 days away from my DFTW! We are leaving in 3 days and I caught a nasty cold!
What's your best get better quick remedy??? I have so much to do before we leave and I feel awful! I'm taking mass doses of Vitamin C and echinacea but it's not kicking in like it usually does for me.

Sometimes when you're under a lot of stress, your immune system is more susceptible to germs, from what I hear. Make sure you're getting lots of sleep, drinking lots of fluid, and if you get too stressed out, take deep breaths.

You have six whole days! I have faith you'll be totally "cured" by then!

I am a firm believer in Nyquil. It will help your symptoms and help you rest.

I have to say sleep sleep sleep and some air born would help big time. Get to be early (like 7 tonight) and sleep late! Get as much as you can done today without stressing and find someone to help you take care of the little things!!!


feel better!

oh dear! I almost got sick, too, but I took a lot of airborne. Since you are already sick, it won't cure you instantly, but if you start taking it now, it should help you recover faster. Just be sure to take it every 3 hours! I also agree...lots of sleep if you can!

hot baths, too!

What's that cold med that cuts down your cold? Zincofax? I've heard it's amazing.

I agree with "get lots of sleep". When I feel something coming on, that's the first thing I do - try to sleep it off.

 

[aprincess72]

I've been trying everything! I slept the whole weekend but this thing is still hanging on.
I have made up my mind that I will not be sick after tomorrow! It's just not an option!!!

I agree with NyQuil! It kills every cell in my body almost! But, it does take care of the cold. If it doesn't do it on the first night, it's usually almost always gone by the second.

I hope you feel better soon! Have a wonderful wedding!

Alka seltzer plus cold medicine...you can keep taking it every 4 hours and it dries everything up. Good Luck

if you or anyone in your family or someone you know has a juicer than you can borrow.. I hear if you drink fresh green juices (like spinach mixed with apple to sweeten it up) you'll get better quicker. If you want more info on that or juice combos pm me.

you said you're doing the vitamin C thing right?

a co-worker's husband says an old remedy is to eat honey with some onion in it! lol.. I don't know if that'd work, I never was brave enough to try it.. but it can't hurt! (well, maybe it can! )

good luck and I hope you feel better quickly!!!
