One thing I learned is that if you don't puke it out if you feel like crap, you'll continue to feel like crap. Just throw up a bunch and get it out of the system. That usually works for me.

I haven't been sick in years though...

Cocktail shots work awesome. See if you can go to the RX and ask for one. I was dying a few months ago and got shots every 12 hours and I was out on the beach playing with the kids the whole time I was sick. After 3 days I was back to normal. You can feel when the shot is wearing off because your temperature will start to rise and you'll feel like shit again. As soon as that happened I would just go back to the RX and get another one. You might need a Doctors Prescription but you can just walk into the RX here in CR and ask for it....You'll thank me in the morning!!!!

Any over the counter drug to hide symptoms. My kids are sick alot and have them do what I have done for 30 years. A t-shirt and a sweatshirt to bed. Always works for me.

Theraflu, advil, etc. - just help you to temporarily feel better - time is the only thing that works - just got to wait it out.

Drink plenty of fluids. That washes all the shit out of your system. Get plenty of rest. Your body needs it to fight the bugs.

Smartest thing you did, was ask for medical advice on this forum. Dumbest thing you did was go see a doctor - throw out the prescription. Every bit of advice I read in this thread will you make you get better fast - try all of the recs above.

I had mono in college and that shit about killed me, ever since then ANY time i get sick, i caugh up this thick green shit. doesn't last long, but its amazing how it happens each and every time now. Mono is the worst shit, combo flu and strep throat combined with extreme swelling of your lymph nodes ans spleen, walking death for no less than 7 days for me.

who the hell goes to the doc with the flu?


Actually a lot of people do and believe it or not they go into to see a doctor for a lot less unconcerning matters than the common flu.

Some folks will run in for appointments for anything as simple as the common sniffles or a basic bruise.

believe me, i RARELY go to the doctors, but i had to go. not sure if its the flu or a sinus infection or pneumonia or maybe even malaria, but its bad. i dont wish this upon my worst enemy. been trying what has been suggested so far and actually woke up at 6:30 a.m and felt like shit, went back to bed until about 11 am and feel pretty damn good. just trying to get my cough to break up now!!! No wonder they call this site "The RX", it's better than the real doctor!
