The Cold and Flu whinge thread

SoulWhiteMan · Post by **SoulWhiteMan** » Wed Jun 21, 2006 5:47 pm

hello there
suffering from a cold at the moment.
Have not had one in a while.
My head is filled with bubbly goo, it used to be white, now it's got yellow stuff in it.
My nose is red as fark from wiping it with tissues; ease a cold doesn't do shit, my tonsils feel like they were made out of clay and dried in a kiln.
Left ear pulsates like a mofo (might be ear infection coming on)

WAAAAAAH......WAAAAAAAH.............WAAAAAAAH

Get onto some aloe vera tissues mate.

They'll sort the red nose out.

Anyone seen the 'How to spot a Runner' pamphelt at chemists explaing that anyone can be working for a bikie speed gang and procuring cold and flu for kids to eat as the illegal and dangerous drug ice?

What a fuckign waste of money and time.

I'm going to rub it in, I never, ever get sick. Would get mild sniffles but nothing full blown flu.

alot of people who seem to 'look after themselves' by eating the 'right' food and taking Vitamins and shit appear to be the same ones who always get sick.

not saying that's the case for anyone here (sif we look after ourself)

Work gave us free flu jabs, so I am feeling fine so far, but I am going to stay away from anyone who looks even vaguely ill...

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 3:28 pm

I work with sick people. Figure I have an excellent natural immunity after all these years of them sneezing and sniffling all over me

Little Evil · Post by **Little Evil** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 2:43 pm

Haven't had the flu for years.
Just woke up with it proper this morning.
I'm as weak as a baby, and I have to work anyway.
It's a fucken nightmare.

Thankyou Lord - your a champ.

Little Evil · Post by **Little Evil** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 11:27 am

I'm fucked today now.
Just got it really bad, again - it's re-occuring.
Have to go home from work, and just had to cancel this weekends gig.
Don't I just feel like a right twat. Never cancelled a gig before in my life.

Anyone who was going to Sphunngk - I was just doing the opener.
Should be a really good gig @ the Mercat.
These guys have their hearts in the right place.
Please go down and show your support.

Sorry guys. Beyond my control

Got on the decks last night, and it was like trying to operate a shopping trolley gone wrong.
There's my whinge for the day.
I'm going home to bed.

In response to Friday...

Happy to help Friday

My Mum's been studying herbs and natural remedies for about 7 years now, and has even written a book (albeit, in Greek). She's got all sorts of remedies.

The best one I've found that works is the bi-carb. Virus' live in acidic environments. By alkalining your body with bi-carb, you effectively remove any chance of the virus thriving.

-1 teaspoon of bi-carb in a full glass of water, 3 times a day at the very first onset of symptoms. Keep it up for about 3 days.

I felt like crap last night, full on flu symptoms. Had a glass before going to bed and feel a million bucks today

Me and Mum haven't been sick for about 8-10 months. I can only attribute it to the bi-carb, since I'm a weakling in all other ways and have always been susceptible.

It can't hurt to try
