Really???? Honestly, I haven't been sick since I quit smoking. Maybe it is something that should be looked into further.Quote:

Get well soon.
May I add my own wah? The weather here is so foul (11degC and pissing rain in February - it should be 25+ and sunny out there at this time of year!) that I can't do any of the things I had hoped to today, so I am about to go to work for a few hours while it is peaceful there just so I don't die of boredom on my couch. :rolleyes:
Did somebody call for the waaaahmbulance? :p
Hey, I seem to recall that the last time this happened you went on a wool shopping spree. Proof that wool has miraculous, curative powers! :D
I have heard, btw, that ex-smokers start getting sick more often as the cilia in the lungs start to recover and bounce back. Also, consider getting yourself checked out for anemia and thyroid functions - these can both cause you to have a poor immune system.
:p yeah..I just did that wool shopping spree!! I'll tell you one thing, I have no dearth of awesome warm clothes to lie around and be sick in!!
i like that...the wahmbulance...!!!!!
Actually, D, I know of 3 people who got pneumonia a year after they quit...so there might be somthing to what you say....allthose little sea armss waving away that gunk of many years....and it has been 15 months since I stopped completely.
Thyroid...they're always checking my thyroid....and its always OK...hmmm
You need to hire me to teach you the fine art of doing nothing...:DQuote:

My Irish Dad's cure for what ails ya: Whiskey, honey, lemonade--drink up and snooze!
For a stronger immune system---Ester C, Centrum Performance Vitamins & Dan-Active
Elk,
Callie wandered by to see if you need a soft kitty to help you snooze? She'll play with you to cheer you up, and then Nap time!
Hope you're feeling better. Heard on the news that this year's gamble at the flu shot combo wasn't as good as a guess as they thought. Right. I already had the plague this year. I can also vouch for the Irish Cure. But be careful with the wee nip of whiskey, you don't want to wake with a hangover. Trust me on this.
Yesterday as I was speaking with a customer my stomach went south....
I got progressively sicker as the evening progressed, and spent a lot of time in the loo lastnight... UGH
My stomach is in that touchy area right now, where you are afraid to eat ANYTHING... :(
And I have an 80/10 ride/run brick tomorrow.. OY!
So while it's not the "flu", it's some nasty tummy thing. :confused:
Oooh... I hope you are better VERY soon Running Mom... I had that for about 10 days straight. Just what you said -- didn't want to eat anything. Couldn't really go anywhere! Lots of hours on the trainer -- sat it up just a few steps from the loo! Good luck with whatever yours is and stay hydrated. Lots of yogurt was my solution. Still many things I won't touch yet!:o
On the other hand -- I did lose weight just a bit faster than normal for me...:rolleyes:
hope we're ALL feeling better soon....
(((((((sick TE'ers))))))))))
Dianyla, I see a naturopath in NW at the An Hao clinic. She does all the checks. She gives me Chinese herbs that help A LOT...in fact the OTC drugs can;t touch these for effectiveness without side effects. And for immune enhancement.
The Irish cure, eh...hmmm I'm on the Jewish cure..only my mom is too far away to bring her special brew...wah 2.
I think I must've gotten it in the plane on the way home from Boston. I was JUST getting over a cold and sat near a woman who went down as we sat there...by the time we landed she was a sick puppy.
So I'm lying in bed reading about *sweetpea* bikes and dreaming....
Oh yes, An Hao is a great clinic for Chinese medicine. I used to go to a regular allopathic (MD) doc in addition to getting naturopathic (ND) care over at A Woman's Time (21st/Lovejoy) but since finding Dr. Miller I've been able to integrate both philosophies into one care provider. One less appointment... ;)Quote:
