I would recommend that you get something that will help you sleep. Bundle up in layers of clothes while sleeping. You will sweat like a pig but it has always helped me recover quickly from being sick or having the flu.

Hope its not bird flu...

Get some Theraflu. Drink some of that, I add some Splenda for flavor, then a shot of niquil. THen as n4d said bundle up and go to bed. You'll sweat it out and feel better in the morning.

i agree make sure you keep getting plenty of sleep so you dont TOTALLY wear your body down, and stay hydrated.. exhausting your body makes it easier for the flu to take over and ruin all of your hard work.. hang in there

You could always go get a penicillin shot.

JETHRO TULL · Nov 11, 2005

You are advising Swol to get a penicillin SHOT????

I just don't know about that advice.....some people are a bit leary of NEEDLES.

I'll bet Swol will have nothing to do with getting a SHOT!

L-lysine helps with immune system function...it is an essential AA, recommended dose is 800-1600 mg/day. i take 1600mg/day personally and never get sick.

for me, the first sign that my immune system is shutting down(usually stress related) is that i feel a cold sore coming on. when this happens i bump it up to 3200mg/day for 3 days, sometimes a little more. hope you get better...dont over stress yourself, stay calm.
