   Ugh, feeling like crap
  So I'm sitting here with a 102F temperature, completely stuffed up (nose, ears, head) and feeling like crap.  I'm pretty sure I have the flu.  Anyone else in the same boat right now?  Being sick sucks.To make this thread somewhat worthwhile, what do you guys typically take to help you sleep when you're sick like this?  I tried nyquil 2 nights ago, and it KIND OF worked.  It knocked me out enough to sleep for like 4 hours, then I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep.I tried some basic sleeping pills last night (Simply Sleep or something) but that stuff does pretty much the same thing. :(   
  I was sick last week. No fever though. Bummer!   ;  Sick this week. Right now I'm sneezing a lot. My sore throat has cleared up, but I still sound hoarser than Tara Reid.Oh, and to help you fall asleep: a few slugs of whiskey. It probably won't actually help you sleep better, but it'll make you mind much less.   ;  Yeah being sick does suck, as I am right now. The worst part about it is not being able to sleep when I'm super tired. =( Tylenol is all I have, but it doesn't seem to be working.   ;  getting over a cold right now. Ruined my vacation.   ;  Do people clean their keyboard/mice after being sick? You've gotta have germs all over it (more than usual, I mean).I'm fairly healthy at the moment, but I sympathize. I remember when I was younger and had a cold, my nose was so stuffy that I couldn't breathe if I slept on my back. Blowing my nose never seemed to help either :(   ;There have been tons of sickness going around here lately.  I just recently got something, but I've gotten over it pretty quick.  I even went to my swim practice today.  It's nice, cause you can just snort your mucus into the pool. : )  I feel so much better now.   ;  I just got of being sick a few days back, still have a runny nose but thats all that remains. To help me fall asleep, I just read for a few hours some spiritual book or a E.E. 'doc' Smith sci-fi novel (being the two things nearest my bed) Another thing that helps is to eat saltine crackers and drink gator-aid if you more than averagely sick. I would also refrain from taking medicine as that makes you weaker in the long run; I only take the stuff if I am really sick and it seems to not be reltnting anytime soon.I pray as well, but most of you won't care about that. My symphonies for you; hope you get better soon.   ;Quote:Original post by StukkmDo people clean their keyboard/mice after being sick? You've gotta have germs all over it (more than usual, I mean).yeah, but those germs won't make you sick *again*. that's kind of the whole point of having an immune system.   ;  When I'm sick I slug down Tylenol Severe Cold and Flu (both Daytime and Nightime) like it's water. Makes it almost tolorable. The Nightime helps me sleep through the night just fine too. If I wake up I just take some more, have a nice long drink of water, empty the lizard and hit the sack again.
