:cry:

I don't feel well! My head is like one big sinus pressure bubble waiting to be popped! My throat is all scratchy and sore. I feel like I just took a major sleeping pill. Needless to say, I don't feel well! I want to cry! I can't focus, do anything, and I just want to crawl back into bed. Been under the weather all weekend and this changing weather is NOT helping!

Any home remedies for what feels like the freakin flu?

Well, for starters you can and should definitely start loading up on Vitamin C. 1000mg an hour will be fine - helps the body fuel the immune response, which is being challenged at the moment. When the body has drawn all it needs you'll just get the craps for a bit. Myself, I can't go near antibiotics so my alternatively minded doctor proscribes exactly this when I get flu-ey. 5-6 hours of this and you'll feel a strength start to glow in you. Heal thyself buddy!

No joke:

Open up your freezer, stick your head inside for a good 20 seconds.
Go to the bathroom sink, turn on the hot water and let it run.
Back to the freezer for 10 seconds.
Turn off the hot water and put your head over the steam for a while, til your forehead starts to sweat.
Back to the freezer one last time (drain water from sink), til you cool off.
Keep your body elevated, and don't sop moving around.

As for the throat, drink plenty of water. Gargle with salt water as well.

And, like the person above me said, load up on Vitamin C. Orange juice if you have it, if not check the nutrition facts. Emergen-C is your friend for a while now.

That is the most interesting method I've heard in a minute...How does that work pray tell? I mean....changing the environments from cold to hot...wouldn't that make one more sick?....I'll try it though here in a sec...will do anything to get this pressure out of my head!

Damn I almost bought some Vitamin C yesterday, but thought it was just too late being already sick lol. I do have some Emergen-C here though! Thanks! I'll definitely store that in my brain for future references as me and antibiotics are not friendly either!

The transitions between cold and hot will shock your sinuses and all the gunk will come out a lot faster. Have tissues at the ready though. And don't fall asleep lol.

My uneducated guess is this will kill you.

btw Vitamin C doesn't prevent you from being sick, so taking it while you're sick is probably better.

This sounds like something Dr. House would recommend lol. I usually take some halls + drink lots of hot herbal tea. Herbal tea does the trick for me (chammomile or sleepy time). I put a drop of halls in the herbal tea and just smell the vapors. Usually this cools off my head tension fast, and sometimes instantly. Get plenty of rest shylesson.

Hope you get better =]

ahh good old house he crazy lol reminds gotta start watching it again
make sure you drink plenty of fluids and have some energy fluids i recommend lucazed since it gives you alot of energy make sure its the original tho

I tried the freezer method; didn't read the thread about the tissues before though lol. I must say man--it works wonders. Relieved a lot of pressure first off, but then the mucus was free flowing too. I went out and got some Vitamin C too so popping those as well. Feeling better than this morning for sure, but still blah. But at least I don't feel all drowsy and like a bubble ready to pop! TY soooooooooo much for that method!

wow im surprised it works congrats m8 oh know you forgot tissues lol

Here's another one that has worked for me in the past. Oil of Oregano! It's a natural antibiotic - kills all the bad germs. It's kind of like Buckley's in that it tastes like shit but actually works. Put a few drops in a little bit of juice. Gulp it down quick. Then follow immediately with more juice to wash the taste down. It is most effective just as you feel something coming on.

relax mate watch some television or go for a nice walk! and stop whining, whining is weak. hope u get well soon

Small glass, into which you put:

Shot of whisky
Juice of a whole fresh lemon
Small spoon of sugar
A good squeeze of honey
Small amount of hot water to dissolve everything together
Drop of cold water to cool it down

Knock it back

Use that everytime I feel crappy and it helps no end.

Lemon juice is like antesceptic / vitimins
Honey for soothing the throat
Sugar to keep body topped up
Whisky to help numb the pain

Repeat that a few times through the evening and then hit the sack and wrap up - you will sweat your nads off but will feel better in the morning.

Enjoy

Take medicine to get rid of flu in 7 days or do not take any medicine and it settles in a week time.
Antibiotics has no effect at all as FLU is caused by virus not bacteria, so antibiotics cant really cure. However if ur sinus is infected then it might help.. Vitamin C 1000 mg a day is good but never heard of 1000mg/hr.. very very unsual if you try this you might end up having some other complications like diarrhoea or stomach cramp, so my suggestion be careful.
However if you want symptomatic relief then you may breath in steam with some vicks in it, and for throat as suggested earlier, gargle with strong salt and luke warm water as frequently as U can..
Hope it helps.

Remember the power of HONEY, but it must be hot.

the English had something with the hot toddies [sp?]

I use Honey to sweeten the theraflu type meds, It works well for shortening your misery.
Just remember to injest hot.

I know it sounds weird but pour a couple drops of Hydrogen Peroxide in each ear and pour it out after letting it sit for about 10 seconds.

It will fizz up a bit and actually clear your earwax too.

This helps the spread of germs and sore throat (people think germs are caught through nose and eyes but they are primarily caught *the cold and flu virus* through the ears which are connected to the throat)

which explains why you get a sore throat first (itchy)-your body is trying to fight first sign of virus

---Drink about 2 gallons of water and don't eat/drink any dairy products---

lots of rest and vitamin C.I'm usually better the day after.

Hope you feel better
