    when was the last time you were sick? its been a while for me and the last three days ive been home. usually id think this is great for how much i dont like going to school, but i keep on thinking about how much work i have to make up. oh and another thing, my voice is totally gone! i freakn hate it. i love talking and speaking and communaticating with everyone and now i cant. im so upset. i wanna go out tonight but i cant becuase im weak. im taking this really cool prescrpition thats a yellow ball with a gel inside (which probably has gelitin in it but i dont know what to do) and i went to bed and dreamt i took a hit of acid. it was electric green too.

    anywho, i finally got online to see whats been going on since i dont have a life currently and can speak though typing.

    get well if you sick!

    i got the common cold thats going around school like wild fire. everyone has it. its not bad, just runny nose, cough, achy. i'm getting better, while my friend is just starting to get the cough, which is the worst part. i still cough a little bit, but not like when it was all the time the past two days. so i'm getting better. still have a runny nose, but thats no problem, just an annoyance.

    I've been feeling this pain in me chest all day, but that's probably because I've been smoking too many ciggs these last couple of days.

    Awe ): I hope you feel better. I had strept a couple weeks ago. It wasn't too bad though and only lasted a couple of days. I swear that bikhrams yoga sweated the strep out though because every other time I have had it and stayed in bed it lasted for at least a week.

    I haven't been sick in years. I get the occasional head cold, but even that is very rare. Hmmm lets see the last time I needed medication to make me feel better........I think was over two years ago. *knocks on wood*

    Wow! I want to be like that. Do you take any special vitamin? What do you eat? Are you outside a lot?

    I don't eat all that healthy. I do like to stay outside - except for when it's cold. But I do go outside without a coat and without shoes like to check the mail or get something out of my car...things like that. Ummm I think it's because I was breast fed as a baby and my mom never gave me medication unless I was seriously ill. *shrugs*

    Well, I am currently fighting off a cold with some pretty good success at the moment. I've been eating a ton of Vitamin C, Emergen-C, drinking lots of liquids, downing ginger shots...and the whole bit...I feel it going away almost as fast as it crept up on me :)

    do ginger shots really work? Do you juice them yourself?

    I've been ill for like a week and it just seems to be getting worse. Though I guess it's just my own fault coz I haven't been taking it easy even when I've had fever... Ooops.

    I got out of work 2 hours early today because I'm feeling like shit.

    I didn't tell the owner though, and he's away...

    So I think I might just get paid for these two hours, unless I feel honest on Monday (which I will).

    We have a cafe at one of my work places that does ginger shots...they are only like two dollars or something...they make my belly feel better when I feel nauseous, they take away headaches, they give you energy, AND they help boost your immune system. I swear by them...they make me feel fantastic :)

    FYI, however, they make your farts stink really bad LOL

    I think the last time I was sick was in early January, and it was what I like to refer to as a "weekend cold." I was only sick for the three days I had off, then I was fine. Haha. But I learned that if you take Dayquil on an empty stomach, it'll likely make you spew. Good information.

    Before that was in November and I got the flu. What fun.

    Yeah, and vitamin C is also very good for your immune system, especially if you also take zinc.

    Not that I have any personal experience though... I eat really healthily (lots of fruit and veg), I excercise a lot, I take my multi-vitamins, drink shitloads of cranberry juice and yet my immune system is still so shit. I get ill all the time and it sucks.

    Right now I have the flu from hell, I couldn't sleep last night coz my head hurt so much and I couldn't breathe coz my nose is so damn blocked and it was just too much and I started crying, haha. :rolleyes: Which of course made it worse and my nose even more blocked... blahhh. Being ill sucks ass.

    To answer your question: Right now.
    I have been sick all my life - by depression - but I've simply reached the conclusion that I don't wanna allow the alienation to take me.

    I'm doing all the things like all other people do. My calender is just as booked as anyones elses calender. It just feel more tough to do such, being sick...

    love and understanding,
    -wolf-
