If you've been sick this season...

evelyntaylor · March 2013

Help a mama out! I feel like I'm dying...and over dramatic but still. This head/chest cold is almost as bad as actually having the flu. If you've already battled this nastiness, please help! I am taking tylenol for the head pressure and cough syrup for the cough. I have a vicks humidifier set up. I still feel horrible. Or you can just tell me there is nothing else I can do and empathize. That works too.

I have no advice, but sure do feel bad for you : sending tp!

Sounds like the crap I'm just getting over! I feel for ya! I took tylenol and used the humidifier. On top of that I slept as much as the sickness would allow and drank a ton of water and juice. I hope you feel better soon!!

I had an awful cold and I used one of those neti pots and it helped sooo much. I also drank lots of tea and rested whenever I could. My cold was gone in about a week thank goodness! I highly recommend the neti pot!

I drank a ton of water and gaterade and rested a lot. I also used a humidifier and put some homeopathic oil(olbas oil) on the top of it which helped open up my sinuses. It definately takes a lot longer to recover when pregnant because the baby is like a sponge and soaks up everything out of you first. Hope you feel better soon!!

I wanted to kill myself with mine. I was really thinking I was a goner for sure. I found lemon water helped a lot, and steamy showers. If your really plugged up you could flush out your sinuses but that's not always fun. Feel better soon!

I was REALLY sick a few weeks back, but I have an aunt who is VERY holistic. She gave me a tea recipie that always me feel better. I call it hippy tea haha.

Get organic honey (the darker more crystal like it looks the better, if its really light and clear apparently it has more corn syrup apparently who knew)

lemons (wash real well)

ginge

-- slice the lemon, grate some of the ginger, slice the rest and cover all of it in the honey. Let it sit and mix a bit. Make your favorite tea (or just a cup of hot water) and put a HUGE tablespoon of the honey mixture. Drink... it made me feel so good I could actually fall asleep and go to work w/o sounding like a man. haha

good luck!

Thank you! The honey and lemon has been a tasty treat. Still feeling horrible though.

I have this sickness right now - came down with it Thursday (Feb 28th) and today I feel about the same except I have developed the cough. It sucks!! I tried to sleep all weekend but of course when you only have 6 weeks left you feel the need to get things done so that didn't really happen. I hope It starts clearing up in the next few days because I can't handle this much longer, not to mention that I have to work (I am a teacher) because I don't want to use any of my sick time - UGH!!

Feel better soon!!
