Nick Frost is a genius. It's probably just a sore throat, but whatever. I hope it doesn't last long, I'm hating this.

 

I prescribe a couple of co-codamol and drink plenty of fluids today ..eveyone forgets to drink enough when poorly and its a biggie!!

I've had like 6 drinks in this hour. I remind myself to drink and I forced some food down earlier. No vomiting luckily, but I'm making sure to keep down plenty of fluids. Going to the store tomorrow for over the counter medicines (i dont have insurance), and a whole lot of chicken soup and anything else I might need. This is actually the sickest I've been all year, worst I've had lately is a minor headcold.

 

You know, you can overdo the fluids too ..lol ..that sounds a bit much really especially if you do that every hour ..its best to just keep a glass of water next to you and sip from it regularly over the hour ... if you become water logged then thats no good and you will lose the ability to absorb vital nutrients from food ...

EDIT: watch out for too much tea or coffee too ..they are diuretics

 

Well I generally drink a lot of stuff when healthy. I'll slow it down a bit I guess. I'm avoiding coffee and tea, just kinda sipping on soda for right now; tired of water. I've been taking daily vitamins too, figured they'd help.

 

Jules... you are so so nursey!

 

I'm glad though, generally I have no idea what to do while sick.
