Subtletanks91 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Haha. I'm starting to get sick. When I get sick I get bad today is the second day and my head feels like its in a garbage compactor lol. Usually I go to HW doctor but can't afford out of pocket right now. What do you guys do when your sick. Or what do you take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 For gerneral stuff, Airborne is the first thing I reach for. I thought it was all hype until I tried it. It works well for me. Zinc, and vit C are also good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Isn't airborne for allergies? I've been drinking juice non stop since yesterday grapefruit, dragon fruit, mango. I can deal with stuffy nose but my head is unbelievably idk how to explain it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Airborne is for colds/flu etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Oh, this I did not know. Will it return me to normal function lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 As long as you can get it down ya early enough. It wil help most if you can do it before 100% sick. You feel it, or first symptoms appear. But it will help the sickness go away faster if you are full blown, too. I use about half the water they say to add because otherwise to me, it tastes watered down. PLus, It goes down faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I knew I shouldn't have let my mother in law take my cough medicine in December lol. -.- could have soothed my headache.

High5's Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I don't go to the doctor and I really don't like taking med's so I just walk it off. I get sick maybe once every few years and it's always from someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 IDE rather suffer than pay 190 for doc plus prolly 150 for meds lol If it is a virus, meds can help mask symptoms, but as far as I know- viruses have to run their course. metageologist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metageologist Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 When I get sick I normally drink a bottle of nightquil take a few excedren and sleep it off. I take the one of us is going to die approach. Lucky for my liver this is a very rare occurrence I chock it up to being out side in the weather year round. So either you build up a strong immune system or you loose your job. High5's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Usually I get a z pack and some prometh codeine cough syrup and its done in a week. Otherwise I'm sick for almost a month off and on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I never go to the doctor when I get sick I sleep for 2 days if I can . In my case sleep is the best thing . The doctor gives me meds but they take 2 - 3 days to work so why bother. For some strange reason when I get a cold which might be once a year the most my lower back "gives out" and that isn't fun so I stay in bed and try to sleep.

Subtletanks91 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 That happens to me but my back is bad anyways. When I get sick it almost 90% of the time turns to bronchitis. Being a smoker, it kills you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryboy12484 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 No joke man... lol the wife got me an e-cig gonna try that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Just gotta want to do it is the biggest problem. I always tried to quit and always failed because I just didn't want to. I tried the patch, gum, e cig. What worked was cold turkey, stay away from smokers a week or two. After the first few days Its not,bad. Then you'll hate the smell and quit. That's 100+ shrimp a month your missing out on..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I still only pay like 5$ maybe 4$ for a pack I get coupons in the mail lol. See that's the problem I know I should quit but I really don't want to. Maybe one day. I do agree though. One of my friend quit and put his money he spent on cigs for two years in a jar and had like 2 grand. -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metageologist Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Well if your gonna keep smoking do it right smoke unfiltered camel's. Most people can't stand them. But i liked them Subtletanks91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
