Argh! I need to get rid of it before it really kicks in!

[whiskeysheri]

Hey, guys!

I've managed to avoid all the illnesses and diseases I've been surrounded by in the last few weeks... until now. I can feel a cold coming on and I desperately need to get rid of it before it actually starts. Any ideas, please? :'( I don't want to be poorly for Christmas. Thanks. x

Try vicks first defence spray. It works for me and you can get it in Boots

[eash]

I was going to say that too CAJ1 def recommend that as it works.

I�ve woken up today with a pain right at back of nose like there is something stuck up there, thinks its just swollen at very back of throat, I too don�t want to get this now, as have works do to go to Saturday :-( I shall try the vicks too

Well I tend to shove many multi-vitamins down my throat but if you're already feeling it then this is probably a bit late.

Go and get some econecha (very bad sp but if you pronounce how I spelt it then you should be understood!) from the chemists, that's very good for colds. If you can bear it then I also drink lots of ginger and lemon tea and stir a spoon of honey in there.

Also tonight... Make a lemon and honey lemsip with either brandy or whiskey (I use whiskey) and go to bed, (should knock you out anyway).

Might not get rid of it but should keep it at bay.

try
1 teaspoon honey
1tablespoon cider vinegar
4 tablespoons lemon juice
in a cup of hot water

Not much you can do about it really - no cure for a cold. Every other person in work has it.

I have no solution either, I've had it, just getting over it and no amount of pill popping, vicks rubbing and syrup swallowing helped. Can I have stars, please? :D xx

[whiskeysheri]

I'll get that when I go out. Thanks, CAJ1 and eash. I thought I'd heard of something like that.

Aww, 4get, me too! How pants is our timing?

CD! Where've you been?! I might ask for some of that stuff, too. x

Thanks, johnny. I think I'll have to give the cider vinegar a miss; my boyfriend takes it and the smell makes me heave.

Ah, Sgt.Rock, I will defeat it. I don't have time to be ill!

[4getmenot]

have you got same symptons?

[whiskeysheri]

Exactly, hun! :(

[4getmenot]

oh dear :-( drink lots of fluids
