What can I do/take to feel better

[NAB3wishesfor2008]

I have a rotten cold, feel cold inside but my head is warm. Not hungry, have a head ache. I am so run down.

echinacea, ginko and a warm drink

How do you pronounce echinacea and what is ginko? Have neither, btw. Want to sleep but would wake up with a heavy head. Plus the bed isn't made asstripped it this morning when Ds2 wet it.

ek-en-ay-shea. I've no idea what either of them ca do for you or what they are! Have you got anyone who can have the lo's for a couple of hours? Then you can just lie on the sofa with a blanket for a bit. Personally I'd have a nice bath, a hot drink with a splash of alcohol in it, a couple of pills and a lie down. Sadly, its not going to cure, but it might relieve the symptoms for a while.

Baby is asleep and the kids are out. I am her on my own. I really want to sleep but it isn't worth it when I wake up feeling so crap. I might have to eat some choc brownie. Needs using up really......

Choc brownie sounds great, mmm.

I have that cold grrrr. Have been out this morning and am now dead on my feet.

Have you got any nurofen cold and flu? That will probably help you sleep a bit easier.

I doubt staring at a computer screen is particularly helping your head, missy!

eat that choc brownie, male a hot water bottle, hot lemon with whiskey/brandy, nurofen. Lie on sofa with warm blanket & crap tv. Get well soon!

LOL at maureen!

Had some warm milk, choc brownie and anap on the sofa. Hubby is doing the kids teas and then going for DD so Idon't have to do anything. Got 2 jumpers on now and warming up very slightly.
