Get well soon Manics. Take care.

Manics, poor you. Do as you are told & take it easy. Sambucol is a good one for flu, a nice tasting immune stimulant. I think it's from elderberries.

thanks,
everyone, thank God for the internet, means I can keep in touch with my family without passing it on..lots of fluid, only had scrambled eggs for tea, will have some rice krispies with my pills before bed, hopefully I'll have a better night's sleep tonight, Ray's doing an amazing job, I'll make him a proper shopping list tomorrow, he comes home with all sorts if I don't ;D
gotta be better next wednesday, picking the new car up :)

sorry to hear you are unwell manics, eat only what and if you fancy (unless youre diabetic) but plenty of oral fluids, cool squashes etc will help with a temp, regular paracetamol +/- ibuprofen for temperature too
chill out and hopefully you will feel better soon plenty of rest too dont race to get up and run around too quickly
best wishes
debs ;D

Bummer, Mal. You have my deepest sympathies. I've got a cold and that's frustrating enough. Keep taking the tablets and don't even think about doing anything until you are well enough. Glad Ray is being a good slave, just dare him to catch it ;D
Get well very soon. :-*

Hope you feel better soon ..... remember plenty of fluids! :)

OOOh Mal, I read Debs' advice....

plenty of oral fluids

thank the Lord it's only oral ones she suggest you take - an enema as a cure seemed a bit of a bummer to me ::) - seems Emaggie thinks so too ;D

Hope you have a good night tonight and please, please Get Well Soon.

Love from afar!

Poor Manics - get well soon, but let Ray spoil you while you feel so rotten.

I had it in July. You have my sympathy.
Don't let them give you tamiflu. its does little or no good and has some potentially very nasty side effects.

Deb P · « **Reply #33 on:** January 27, 2010, 23:43:24 »

Blimey, get better soon.........I don't know why, but I always crave mashed potatoes with mint sauce when I'm ill......there must be a method in my madness somewhere! ::) ;D

Tulipa · « **Reply #34 on:** January 28, 2010, 07:53:06 »

Hope you had a good night manics.

My son had swine flu over christmas, poor lad, but i would say take the Tamiflu, he picked up quite a bit once it got working, and the sickness subsided as he got used to it.

Ray sounds to be doing a wonderful job, bless him. Like others have said plenty of fluids is the best thing.

Deb mashed potato is wonderful comfort food, tinned rice pudding too. When we had all the furore about swine flu in the summer I put together a box of goodies we might need, lemsip, strepsils, lucozade etc and rice pudding! :-[ :-[ It did come in useful!

Hope you had a better night and get well soon :)

manicscousers · « **Reply #36 on:** January 28, 2010, 09:38:40 »

;D ;D @Lish, might do me some good ;D
thank you all, sweating all night but at least I can nap if I need during the day, all babysitting called off for now
too late, greenfists, taking the tamiflu but I'm on omeprazole so, hopefully, that'll protect my stomach a bit, I'm finding it awkward to fit all the pills in, normally 8 in the morning including my vits so they're lunchtime now.
mashed potato, really, Deb? can't cope with it normally but rice pudding, usually make my own but I've put some on Ray's shopping list, along with MORE tissues, having to BUY eggs as no chicken visits at the mo, never mind, day 2 of anti biotics, apparently I was snoring like Ray's drill last night, hopefully my nose'll dry up a bit

Hope you feel a bit better today :)

I come down with a dreadful cold over Christmas and only just getting over it now,strangest cold I have ever had,very debilitating. :(

Thought you might get bird flu!! I have now caught Pork Loin flu , Had the swine but went to the doctors and got cured! ;D
