Came down with the flu last night. Any advice?

[toastonastick]

woke up about 1 AM with major chills and 102 degree fever. No pukin, but every friggen bone in my body aches and I was dizzy as hell. Got a cough too.

I havent had this shit in the last 5 years.

Have not slept since 1AM, very restless. Looking for some help to get some sleep and feel somewhat normal.


So far, I'm taking tylenol every four hours or so, and drinking lots of water.

I have the exact same thing, caught it a week ago and still have it. I had trouble sleeping to so I switched to Tylenol PM at night and regular Tylenol during the day. My fever broke after 3 days but I still feel like crap.

Not sure if I spell this right but its called a hot tatie...its a little tea, honey, some lemon, and whiskey and then heat it...drink it up wrap yourself in a blanket and take a nap...its suppose to help you sweat out the flu...my grandmother taught me this...I think its the whiskey that makes you feel better

Antibiotics are not used to treat viral infections. I've never heard of using them for the flu. That's a new one to me?

pour a tall ice filled glass with cointreau. go into the bathroom, close door, turn shower on high hot. sit in there drinking the cointreau (90 proof orange liquor) until there is no more hot water and no more cointreau. you took a nice steam bath. now, drink half a bottle of nyquil and get in bed bundled in covers. sleep and sweat it out.

it works!

Yeah, sitting there on the toilet seat with the shower on like a dope drinking orange flavored liquor is the answer. Any advice on how to cure his backache after leaning back against the toilet tank for 2 hours, doctor?

My advice is to go to your doctor!
I had the worst case of the flu for the first time this past Dec.
lasted for at least 3 weeks. Started with major chills, aching muscles, 102 temp. then one night I went to bed only to wake up totally drenched. Then came the worst sore throat I've ever had. that lasted 6-7 days. and finanlly this cough that lasted another 8-10 days, it was horrible.
My doctor prescribed Tamiflu for me.
Hope yours doesn't get that bad bro ,I was beat up!

the hot water won't last 2 hours

he can't sleep. i guarantee this will help him sleep and sweat. the sweating will take the fever away. the liquor and nyquil will help him sleep long and deep.

kosar,

and i know you will try it the next time you get the flu

just call me when you get it instead of driving yourself nuts searching for this thread. AOL works too slow anyway

 

[The Boys]

I think I caught mine at the strip club........no shit. Met a friend there and we both came down with it 3 days after going there.

MJ,

tough crowd in here when your only trying to help...I'll try almost anything to feel better when I am sick

 

[kosar]

Maybe he should just bring a cot and a sleeping bag into the bathroom, turn on the shower and the sink faucets, fire up the space heater, set the thermostat on 92 and sleep like a baby.

I'm sorry Thom, but I have to comment when somebody is becoming part of the problem, not the solution.
