Topic: I'm sick!

I had a sore throat all of last night and barely slept cause of the pain.. Then I started coughing up yucky stuff. Now, I can't talk. No voice comes out! I have my first day of classes this semester today. How do I get my voice back?

Shot of vodka and a glass of orange juice.

Seriously.

How does a screwdriver cure a sore throat? Or does it just numb it as a mild anti-septic?

Only antibiotics are going to cure you. The screwdriver will just make class bearable.

Wait until you get a regular job. No more winter, spring, or summer vacation!

Ya I miss the school break. Only 6 hours of school and an hour of homework. Not this 9.5 hour crap everyday!

Sore throat lozenges plus some robitussin syrup should do the trick

If that's all the school you had, you were pretty lucky.

Edit: why do you need your voice, anyway? Especially if it's just a lecture.

Kay, I have the flu. Every part of my body aches.. I went to class, but came home early cause I was going to be sick cause of the aches. I've never had the flu like this before. It's like... half as bad as salmonella, and salmonella was the devil.

I'm going to bed before my back buckles over.

P.S. I should have gotten a flu shot.

Pretty much the only thing you can do now is treat the symptoms.

Throat lozenges if your throat hurts, robitussin if you are coughing up funky crap. Acitaminophen for a general analgesic, and some pseudoephedrine for a nasal decongestant.

If you can, get some tylenol severe cold and sinus. It has acitaminophen, guafinesin, and pseudoephedrin all in one dose. It works pretty well, it is what I have been handing out for the usual rounds of winter colds here.

Other than that, lotsa soup and rest will help. All you can do is wait it out otherwise >.<

If you start getting uncontrollable shivers, you need to get to a doc stat, you are really starting to crash then No fun!

I don't think having a job is really comparable, because at a job you make money. At school all I do is spend it.

Power fluids. Juice for the vitamins (nothing from concentrate!), gatorade or similar for the electrolytes. The idea here is to build up your mojo and flush that shit out of your body as fast as your body preps it for departure.

Whenever I even START feeling flu symptoms, I power load massive quantities of orange juice and gatorade. Also massive water flush. Nip it in the bud before it has a chance to settle in. Pee 2 Win

That's the thing! I didn't even FEEL sick, it was all of a sudden, BAM! flu. Tomorrow I'm going to drink juice, today I could only drink flat 7-Up cause my stomach felt off cause of the body aches and flemmy shit. Hopefully I'll be able to eat something tomorrow too. I have no gatorade.. That's what I drank for a week when I had salmonella and couldn't eat. Lemon-lime for the win.

Doctor then water then drugged-up sleep.

There's no way you could take anything in like that at class anyway, so you're better off looking after your health.

When I was recovering from strep throat I was all flemmy and my throat and chest was covered in mucus. As soon as I threw up it was all better because it all came out at once
