What's new

Sooooo sick!

WOOHOO! First day I woke up and actually felt like getting out of bed! Fingers crossed I'm turning the corner. I LOATHE being sick! Thank you for all the kind words, it really does make you feel better to know people are caring and kind!
 
We have swine flu and bird flu both going around here. So far the three of us here have been okay. But we found out tonight that our two grandsons who are visiting us this evening have been exposed to the bird flu...yesterday...so we are defusing a really good essential oil called On Guard into our living area in our home. It's supposed to help keep the bad stuff away.

Glad you are finally feeling better.
 
Oh Erin! SOOO sorry you were in the hospital with this crud! It just went through our entire family. I missed a full 5 days of work and am on week three and just now starting to feel better. Husband and son also had it. Husband missed a week of work as well (on doctor's advice) and is still a mess - pinched a nerve in his neck with the coughing.

I hate to say it, but nothing helped more than sleeping, keeping hydrated, and running a humidifier. The doctor said it just has to run its course - fluids and Delsym for the cough is what he told us. For us running its course was a full 2 weeks, then still the lingering cough and exhaustion. We did use honey. We also used Vicks vaporub topped with a warm cloth to help with the cough at bedtime. I know - stuff smells terrible and is disgusting but we were desperate for some relief.

Hang in there girl! And be sure to take care of yourself!
