I just want to CRY!!!

[FreshTressa]

Just hours until we leave for our very well planned trip to Disney World and guess what...

My throat is getting sore and I am feeling achy all over! I can't believe I am getting sick. And it is not so bad for me to be sick, but I know I will give it to the kids and to my DH. BOOHOO, why NOW. I hope it is a short lived virus.

Take some aspirin, gargle with hot salt water, go to bed and rest and don't panic. It could just be an allergic reaction. Don't get upset. If it <i>is</i> a cold get some Dayquil caps (or store brand equivalent). That will help ease the symptoms while you are on your trip.

I hope it goes away before you leave. It's going to be alright. Think positively {{{HUGS}}}

I am sorry you aren't feeling well. If you think this is a cold, try Zicam! I have had good luck with it helping to kill colds. Just try to have a good time with the trip no matter what!!

 

[Tuffcookie]

Gargle with a mixture of warm water and peroxide! And take extra vitamin C!

You poor thing.
Relax, though, there's lots of stuff you can take to make you feel better.
I was playing golf this morning and my first shot was a stupid shot that went hardly any distance. I was grumbling about it until a man who was waiting to play after me said, "you wouldn't complain about that shot if you'd hit it from a hospital bed, would you?" He was so right.
Not to make your illness seem unimportant, it's dreadful when it happens at a time that you have special things organised, just please try not to let it ruin your vacation.
Hope you feel lots better very soon.

ZICAM ZICAM ZICAM!!!!! I cant say that enough! Also extra vitamin C. I hope you feel better soon and enjoy your trip! Just make sure you keep hydrated also. And the Zicam is worth the price when using the cold's last about 2 day's!! (for me) Have a good time!

Think I spelled Zycam wrong! Err!

Banshee - I thought you were saying a magic spell. Lol


Get your rest, Fresh Tessa, and take those vits. Hope you feel well enough to enjoy the World.

Lots and lots and lots of liquids!!! (yes you will be running to the bathroom a lot but it will flush the germs out of you!!
And wash your hands and use the antibacterial hand gel often to avoid passing it to the family!!

Good luck...have a great trip!!

I feel your anguish. In Nov.2001 both my sister and I were on antibiotics and using an inhaler by the time we got to WDW. My husband never got sick, never does, but I allways do
Like everyone already posted, plenty of fluids, plenty of vitamin C, and if it seems to be getting worse get to the doctors. Maybe you will get lucky and not pass it to the rest of the family.
Hope you fell better soon. and some pixie dust.

Yes, try Zicam, and enjoy your trip, FT!!!!

We leave in a few days and there are two flues going around our area. One is a cold and one is stomach. I'm praying really really hard we don't get either one before we leave. Not that I don't trust prayer but we're popping antibiotics as well . On top of that my MIL is in the hospital AGAIN and something bit my finger while I was washing the car for homecoming and it is hugely swollen and hurts like the dickens (unofficial diagnosis is spider bite). Going to the doctors for that one this afternoon. My DH tries not to stress about vacations because he says it makes your immune system "sluggish". Easy for him not to stress, he doesn't do any of the work that goes into the vacations! Hope you feel better and have a great time! That WDW air will do you a world of good.
