I’ve had a fever every day for 8 days and I’m so pissed off.

@secret78 Agree, I had mono and fevers for a week when my daughter was 6 months old. I was going to try to work, but my husband realized I was too confused to even figure out how to drive. That was rough. Even when I went back, I was so weak, I could barely work.

@gina Girl. What are you on and can you share it?

Kidding. At least you still have your sense of humor. Hopefully you keep the dysentery at bay. Get well
Soon!

@steve337 I haven’t done drugs since college but I think it’s called MeeMaws speed ball. It’s a combination of Zyrtec-D, prednisone, two hits from a rescue inhaler, 4 packets of theraflu and an estrogen patch just in case.

@gina Oh my lord girl! You a bad bog witch ain't you!

@gina You’re my people.

@gina Are you a writer?? You should be! Re getting better… get oregano oil, 3 drops into one cup water and drink in one big gulp. It’s worked for me every time.

 

[gina]

@mjay Thank you! I’m just all hopped up on spaghetti-o’s and a mountain of medications that are probably interacting in a way that they shouldn’t.

I’ll try oregano oil even though that sounds disgusting. Someone else on here already had me eat raw garlic, can’t get much worse than that.

 

[tammyasks]

@gina Get ready for what we call “pizza burps”!

 

[suitefleur5]

@gina You'll smell like an entire Italian restaurant, and acting like that's a BAD thing???

 

[gina]

@suitefleur5 Maybe the oregano and garlic will make my farts smell better? There’s no way they could smell worse, that’s for sure.

@mjay Yes, oregano oil got rid of my 2 month trailing cough. Also want to add emergen-c.

 

[calvaryoakville]

@coneychiwa What does the oregano oil do? Just coat your throat so you’re not constantly feeling that tickle and need to cough, help break up mucus…? I also have a lingering cough driving me bonkers and honey does little to nothing.

 

[coneychiwa]

@calvaryoakville My coworker recommended it to me. I guess she was getting annoyed at my constant coughing at our teams call. Supposed to have antibacterial properties to help fight bacterial causes of cough/mucus. Fyi, it tastes and smells bad. I’d add some honey or something to make it more palatable.

@gina Your sense of humor has me cackling as much as my illness allows, since I too am laid out. But I feel for you!!

My go to for mucusy cough - hot toddy. Whisky, lemon, honey.

My go to for stuffy nose and sharp cough - peppermint in whisky.

Whisky helps break up mucus. Peppermint opens up the sinuses. The lemon and honey coat and soothe the throat.

@dariov14 I’m too big of a pansy to drink whisky so would a room temperature White Claw work?

 

[dariov14]

@gina It might. It’s really the liquors effect you want; white claw I think would achieve the same thing, it’s just of course very diluted. But in a toddy you just use a splash of whisky so you don’t get that burn!

 

[mandarinmint]

@gina Do you like margaritas? I swear by a margarita with good salt (Himalayan or sea salt) around the glass when I start feeling crappy.

 

[gina]

@mandarinmint Don’t threaten me with a good time. If I had known margaritas were an option I think I would have embraced sick days a lot more.
