I woke up this morning face-down on my mattress. When I rolled over, my face felt hot and swollen. I’m thinking, well, I was lying on it, of course it would be swollen. So I get up and go to the bathroom, blow my nose, and sure enough – blood.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
Unacceptable. It’s less than a month until Christmas and getting sick is not an option! I have dozens of product reviews to write, I’d like to get the tree up and decorated, and of course, I’d like to be able to breathe out of both sides of my nose. Chris just gave me an extended release Sudafed, so I’m waiting for that to kick in.

Update: Extended release Sudafed FTW! Man, that stuff really works.
Maybe the Universe heard my whining about how I do not have time to be sick

The minute someone in our house gets sick I make sure everyone stays away, washes hands constantly, and gets A LOT of extra vitamin c! Glad you’re feeling better!

Lots of vitamin C and vitamin D during the winter. The fermented cod liver oil the kids and I take also works like a charm to keep our immune systems up to snuff. Dose out the homemade elderberry syrup when I feel it’s appropriate (extra vitamin C, honey, and body-warming herbs), the kids love that stuff. When we *have* been exposed to germies, I break out the Thieves Oil to ward that off at the pass. Has worked well so far this year (knock on wood).

It’s funny, for each boob picture I gave that perosn a face in my mind. The cheeseburger photo made me LOL. Reply:July 28th, 2009 at 12:29 pm, Ha, I will NEVER tell who is who in those photos. Hell, I’ve already forgotten the specifics. I do know who participated, though. And the cheeseburger pic may be my favorite. Reply:July 28th, 2009 at 12:41 pm, I can tell you who two of em are Reply:July 28th, 2009 at 6:30 pm, NO TELLING! I promised each of those women that there’d be no faces in the pictures, no nametags, no links.I know you WOULDN’T, but I’m just sayin’.
Very good tips Lanna. In addition to that use warm ginger , chilli,, garlic and turmeric soup , it great appetizer
and great antiseptic and keeps your digestive tract working fir as a fiddle every day..

I just take my Vit C double dosage when I start sneezing. I complement it with lots of water and fruit juice. If it’s not in the full development stage, this will usually arrest the colds. If not, then I take the necessary meds. Hope you’re well on the way to recovery by now.

It’s got to be echinacea!! Take it as soon as you start to feel ill, but you have to be careful not to take too much. It’s always worked for us.

The only thing worse than being unwell close to Christmas, is having sick children this close to Christmas. We’ve just endured a rotten weekend with lots of illness and endless loads of laundry! I guess really its never a good time to be sick when you’re a parent OR the child, and at least it didn’t happen Christmas day!
I take lots of Vitamin C and Zinc. The Zinc helps shorten the lifespan of the cold virus. {Keeps the little cold germ dude from reproducing as quickly}. So it’s kind of like virus birth control. Feel better soon and I will pray for you!
