it's only a cold but.........

[crisgal]

i feel totally miserable and right sorry for meself! Is there anything that lessens symptoms or will comfort me a bit?
It's at that 'orrible stage where your nose is all blocked and you can't breath yet at the same time it runs like mad!
I want something nice but can't taste anything.
And my head's pounding.
And i can't sleep.

Poor you :-(..Been there.The absolute best thing for being able to breathe at nightime,while in the grip of a cold..is Olbas Oil.Just sprinkle some drops on your pillow,and along the top of your duvet.Its amazing!! Instant breathing!.This probably isn't much use to you tonight..but,get some tomorrow,and you'll never be without it again!...Someone recommended it to me,a good few years ago,and the relief it gave me was unbelievable.

im just getting over the flu had minor flu for about 2 weeks then got the full blown effects that lasted three days the best thing i think is beechams flu tablets i also had a whisky which my my partner told me would help!.

I Find that if you sit around with flu in bed it gets worse so i busied myself working but not too much also instead of pills if you got a headache use 4head

Surely it would do you more harm than good - it's just dirt isn't it?
I sat next to a guy at school who did it - absolutely gross!
