    I hadn't been sick in literally 6 or 7 years. Have flown out to Germany to meet the girlfriend's family and friends have taken ill. I'm fucked. Weak. Sore skin. Aching eyeballs. Fever. Cough... Haven't slept more than a few hours in a couple of days... Not fun.

    I'm not used to feeling like this or indeed tackling this... Any tips?

    I've been getting as much Vitamin C as I can and drinking lots of water but I'm still utterly fucked.

    • There's nothing to do outside sleeping and drinking water. Your system will beat it. All the meds are useless and a waste of money.Bennn
    • Just do the 5 movments and you shall be fine.

      I'm the OA      Bennn
    • I don't take medsset
    • loads of fruit, loads of 'organic' vitamins. I've discovered the cleaner the fruit/veg the quicker i recover....cue attacks !mugwart
    • Yeah, rest and fluids are the best things. Vitamin C is only pissed away so not really worth taking.face_melter
    • Sorry but it's pretty silly to suggest not taking Vitamin C 'because it's only pissed away'. Of course your body absorbs some of it, and it's vital...set
    • can you get a hold of natural stuff? I took olive leaf and garlic extract to boost immune system. also echinacea and golden seal. some probiotics are good too.sea_sea
    • i made chamomile tea with honey and lemon to sooth the throat and delicious. cover up, don't go outside if you can avoid it.sea_sea
    • Thanks for the advice all xx

    • Take zinc with your vit c

    • it's called flu - gotta ride it out unfort. get well soon.fadein11
    • p.s. face_melter is right - vit C won't help much once you have the virus. Vit C is better as a preventative.fadein11
    • more fruit, veg and less hipster ready meals dude... pls don't take offense at this.fadein11
    • Hahaha xset
