Everyone's sick

[fuji]

Whatever this cold is that is going around, seems EVERYONE has it. Everywhere I go I hear people coughing. At work, on flights, in restaurants, on the TTC. Cough cough. I had it last week, haven't fully shaken the cough yet.

Take time for yourself to rest, and drink lots of fluids to flush out the virus form your system.

Stay away from all of the above.drink plenty of carrot juice, pop some vitamins, and five drops of oil of oregano under your tongue, twice per day and you will be good

I agree with most of that, but having tasted oregano oil,it is about the most vial tasting thing on the face of the earth :faint:

I had it or something else last week, but it seemed pretty mild. It's going around the office now; probably my fault!

 

[Mikehorn]

Yup, had it last week but it was pretty mild, now my hot co-worker has it and it hit her really hard. She's here today but looks like she'll be cutting out early. Meanwhile the fat, lazy slob I can't stand the most saw that we (who try to never skip work) have something and is now trying to fake symptoms to get out of work for the rest of the day...

Sounds like Wally from Dilbert.

 

[whitewaterguy]

Also, seriously cut back on the lfk and dfk this time of year

E-bola

Will Norton work against it?

Doing that too, plus astralagus, elderberry, echinacea, working out (to sweat it out or raise body temp to kill those bad germs), hot teas.

Ya, but it's good for you.

You can buy oil of oregano with peppermint.

Ebola...

Ebola Light.

Ebola Light.

Ebola extra light lol, l didn't even take a day off work, but I noticed whatever it is seems to be getting EVERYONE. I was on a flight last week and usually I get squeamish if someone around me is coughing, but pretty much every row has at least one person coughing, including me. Same thing everywhere, people coughing.

I'm sure your opinion of him didn't colour your perception of his "illness", whereas you're willing to readily accept that your hot co-worker is suffering and show sympathy.... lol

 

[whitewaterguy]

Where I used to work, I tracked one employees time sheets for a three year period on suspicions. She had an unusual condition it seems, where she was NEVER sick on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Lol. Only on Fridays or Mondays , unless of course it was already a long weekend, whereupon her illnesses could roll over into a fourth day. She too was a fat slob despised by many

My cousin just returned from vacationing in California. He said everyone on the plane was coughing or had a sort throat!

I'm finding that the best relief is Oil of Oregano. Also, quality cough lozenges help with scratchy throat. Also taking Vitamin C, the usual supplements and ColdFX.

Lots of liquids.

And stay away from children and from people with very young children at home. It is possible that what we all have been getting is enterovirus D68. In adults it presents as a mild cold with a respiratory element (the cough) and clears up on its own just like any cold. But in some children who have not yet built up immunity to enteroviruses it causes a severe respiratory disease including sometimes Polio like paralysis.

So you will be fine but keep it away from children.

I was sick as an ape ALL last week. REALLY SICK! Couldn't get out of the apartment. Sleeping all day. Coughing my guts up. Dizzy. Running a fever. Couldn't sleep at night because coughing too much. Wheezing like a senile badger whenever I breathed. No appetite. Existed on Nyquil. Am back at 90% now, just the occasional hack and not quite as much energy as usual.
