Can I have some vibes for myself please?

Back in the summer I got really poorly with a throat and ear infection, and I think I'm getting another one  

My throat is really sore, my ears were aching last night (although, fingers crossed, they're not today), I'm super lethargic and every time I stand up and try and do anything I break into cold sweats and get dizzy.

I honestly don't have a chance to rest - this started yesterday and I had to nanny then and today, tomorrow I've got a really important day of uni I can't miss, then over the weekend my boyfriend is here and we're off to visit my grandparents, then on Monday I have work placement and on Tuesday it's back to college, and the week continues the same from there. Coupled with looking after the pets and getting assignments etc done. I'm going to be wiped out  

Anyone know anything you can do to prevent/deter it? I'm trying to get early nights, drink lots of fluids etc but if it's anything like last time I'm going to be bedbound for a week and I really don't have time for that!!

Any vibes would be greatly appreciated   

Lots of vibes for you Jess    

Humum is just getting over a manky cold - the thing that seems to knock the symptoms back is one of the generic / supermarket combined cold and flu tablets.

Lots of vitamin C (you could also try echinacea) and make sure you eat properly even if you don't feel like it

Thanks Sparky

I'm not sure Willow would approve of this

lots of vibes for you  Sparky's right about vit c and echinacea. Zinc is supposed to be good too.

Thanks Paul

Hope you are ok hunni - where you can try and grab five mins here or there for yourself xxxx

Sparky covered a lot!  Drink lots of vitamin C rich fruit juices.  I developed a craving for a mixture of cranberry cocktail and orange juice.  The tartness of the cranberry offsets the sweetness of the OJ.  Real homemade lemonade is also very good.  Have you ever tried it hot?  Yum!  Hot tea with lemon and honey.


One more important thing!  Gargle with saltwater(NaCl).  1/2 t per 8 oz H₂0. There are solid scientific reasons behind this.

Something else: Chicken soup! It acts as an anti-inflammatory by inhibiting the movement of neutrophils — immune system cells that participate in the body's inflammatory response. Second, it temporarily speeds up the movement of mucus. Supposedly if you put in the comb and the feet it nutritionally better soup---but I think EWWWW.

Keep your environment humid. Dry mucus membranes crack and provide areas for more bacteria/viruses to breed.

I hope you are better soon! I'll send up a prayer too!  

Lots of warm fluffy blankeys on the way love, I hope you get better soon.

Thanks guys

Still not feeling brilliant but the boyfriend did a fab job of looking after me this weekend and I'm feeling a bit better at least

Glad you are improving  

I am so glad you have someone to look after you love and I am glad you are feeling better.

Glad you are some better. Hope you continue to improve very quickly!  

I'm afraid not

I'm off to the doctors in an hour as this is coming up for a week since this has started now and I'm not feeling much better.

Thank you guys

Tons of vibes coming your way. Its awful feeling so ill, and having so much to do and not feeling up to it adds to the stress of it all! I hope youre feeling better soon!! xxxx

Thank you

The doctor said I have a virus and told me to stay off college today. I've got some work done from the comfort of the sofa and a duvet anyway, which is a relief. I'm still aching all over but I feel better for being on top of things.

I'm at home the next two days anyway and even though I'm looking after the baby, I'll hopefully get a chance to rest when she sleeps!

So sorry to hear that you are still not well! I hope you are able to get the rest you need and feel better very quickly.     

More healng vibes on ther way love, anything like this takes times to go away completely.
