and push clear fluids if nausea. Yes on propping up with pillows for weezing. Should see a doctor...

Maybe....if you strap 85 poultices to your rear,
and slip into yoga pants.
Oh..parsley can help relax your airway (bronchials) if they are tight.


Man, I fight taking anything I have to ingest.
Blasted nausea, 'round the clock. All I can
do to take water to get pills down.
Pitiful, I know :-)

So, can one get a mustard poultice from the pharmacy?
Or will they look at me and tell me to go back to the
Dickens novel I so obviously just escaped from?

They are easy to make.

Made me laugh :-)
They say to put on a layer of lard after to stop the burning.

Water is my best friend.
I have to close my eyes tho, so my gag reflex does not begin.

Just a thought soufie, if you lieing down a lot,keep yourself propped up as much as you can comfortably so your chest doesn't build up secretions. flowerforyou

Ya, very hard to sit upright, tho I am trying (by sitting at
my desk here) but tis hard to keep me eyes open.

I see the smartness of that tho.


I saw you said you were wheezing, really you should see a doctor, you might need a salbutamol nebuliser and antibiotics, especially If you start coughing up gunk.

I know it's hard to sit upright, have you got a v pillow? They prop you up but more comfortable. flowerforyou

Still super punky.
And company coming in 2 days..for a week.
They will only see my feet peeking out of the covers.

Have wheezed since day 1, no gunk, all clear so far.
Got down some applesauce.
How to force your tummy to accept something it knows
will cause nausea?

Almost went to the hospital yesterday.
But I was afraid they would sequester me nasal spray :-(

For me soufie, only sickness injections work when I'm really bad. You need to keep your fluids up and if you can't you will need a i/v drip. I had to have all these on Friday in hospital. grumble

When I visited my niece in Alberta, Canada, in about 1991,
she went on and on about how a visit to the Dr. in Canada
was only $5 per time. But everyone came to the states for
operations.

Was wondering if that still stood.

Ya, I drink lots of water, ice-cold seems to help.
I would go the Dr. if I thought they could do more for me
than I can.

I am so sorry to hear that.
Do they do the trick?
What kind of injections are they?
I am pretty healthy, normally.

While I do not crave the fluids, which would help, I am keeping
up with them. Thanks for your concern :-)

Nice, I wish co-pays were like that here!

Good to hear you are pushing the fluids! I really hope you feel better soon.

I had a cold last month and it is still lingering. Only truly sick for a few days.

Reading from what you wrote "Ya, I drink lots of water, ice-cold seems to help", but with flu and wheezing symptoms....liquid taken should always be warm or as hot as you can take it. I hope that your taking 'ice cold' has not aggravated your condition and made your recovery difficult.

Man, there's always something..and that has some logic to it.
But the fever keeps me sweating so anything hot I simply cannot take.

You are supposed to keep cool externally when you are having a fever, not take cold drinksrant ! Aircond is ok and a circulating fan, but not the fan directly at you! And sweating is your body's natural reflex to keep you cool. You will feel so much better after sweating, but make sure you dry the sweat and don't catch a chill.

Hope you are taking your food and liquids sensibly..... that fever can addle your brainlaugh laugh laugh !

Get well soon flowerforyou

Hi soufie flowerforyou

I had i/v cyclixine, and just I/v saline in hospital, but on a regular basis I have i/m injections from my g.p, called stemitil, both great anti emetics by injection. I cant keep the tablets down. Keep up the fluids!! flowers
