Man, that sucks! The best pain reliever I've found is 500mg Naproxen. Everybody is different though. Aleve is OTC Naproxen, take 2 and call me in the morning.

Have you heard of Fibromyalgia?

"One pattern is that the individuals suffer a prolonged episode of the flu or other infectious disorder from which they never fully recover"

Buy FLU .com if it makes you feel better. It is not developed yet.

My baby just got over being sick. Theres something going around here causing stomach virus, throwing up and fever. Now that shes over it my big baby has it. God help me if i get it.

Definitely don't take Aleve on an empty stomach! Budweiser works pretty good too.

I just had the flu as did many people around me.

A few years back I almost died from it.


My advice:

Load up on echinacea in the liquid form preferably.

Load up on fresh squeezed juice from an actual juicer that masticates the fruit and veggies.

Sleep at least 12 hours a day until you are improved.

Support your body to fight on its own, eat chicken soup with vegetables.

A friend who also had the flu ate an entire piece of garlic - apparently there are natural antibiotics in it.

He felt better quickly.

Unless you have a great doctor, no reason to see one.

I prefer to talk to a doctor on the phone that I trust, someone who understans that illness rarely is solved by just treating symptoms. To be healthy, we must use our immune systems - it is better for us in the long run to use our own natural defenses rather than be reliant on pills.

whats the problem with painkillers- take two nurofen, one paracetamol, one sleeping pill and double vodka, get the cleaner(whoever) to clean your bedroom, put new sheets, take 45 min bath while thinking of something pleasant and go to sleep- will wake up like a newly born

Buy two domains and go to bed ...

hope you feel better soon

i cant take this no more... its killing me....

im going to take a garlic now

get to the doctors as it may not be 'flu'

real flu and not a 'mancold' is a shitty experience and you feel freezing and awful and takes 10 days - 2 weeks to get over and doesn't come round often luckily, but you may have something more serious. dont want to worry you.
do you have any rashes or anything?

i appreciate healthcare is not free in america as you have different priorities over there :worried: and is something you have to take into account when thinking of visiting but my advice is to check it out.

btw don't take any of the advice about garlic, alcohol and sleeping pills, just stick to ibuprofen and the regulated dose.
drink plenty and get plenty of vitamin c, fresh orange juice etc

there are no magic formulas but a hot bath is good advice , if nothing else makes you feel better.
good luck
