A Cure For What Ails You

TAPPY · 11-29-2005

I took the Flu shot....but I still got some nasty germ that has made me sick sick sick....

Nothing over the counter works.....

The only thing that does work is that special cough syrup that you have to beg your doctor to write a prescript for (and all it does is make you sleep and make your eyes feel all tingly and have strange fever dreams) ..but I still like it !!! :p

I have found that drinking hot lemon tea with honey helps make you feel better for about five minutes.........what are some other good cures to make you feel better when you are waaaayyyyy under the weather ???

I agree, PB. It's probably THE best thing to do to help your body gain strength to fight off the cold and recover, and when you're sleeping, you're not awake and feeling miserable!!!

Hot toddy (sp) just one will have you past out and getting the rest you need.

Don Julio Anejo tequila...and then sleep

Sounds like you got it bad. When I get it that bad, I rely on Nyquill (aka "The Green Coma").

I tried that Mucinex, within 24 hours the tightness in my chest was gone which relieved the coughing fits.
Also drink green tea with honey & lemon and a shot of whiskey or brandy, this will have you sleeping like a baby.

Drown your system in Ginger Ale. Just guzzle it until you can't stand anymore, then guzzle some more. I always am healing quicker than hubby -- ginger ale and exercise are the key!

Mexicans will tell you that tequila is the cure for what ails you. Of course, they will tell you the same thing if you have a hangnail or lost your job for being drunk at 9AM.

Hot lemonade works for me....don't like ginger ale or tea.Hot steam shower and then sleep, sleep, and more sleep!

I can't take any kinds of meds really. They all make me jittery or foggy or nauseous or comatose. And those effects are worse to me than the bug symptoms usually. I just load up on Vitamin C to help shorten the life of the cold, put on comfortable jammies, drink lots of water and rest in a dark room with lots of pillows and some good movies. Sleep when I'm able.
