To all suffering from the flu...

Try beating my recovery time:

3 days! BOOYA!!!

That's from first starting to notice the scratchy throat to waking up and not feeling like shite. The left over blowing of the nose doesn't really count as being sick since it's just the body cleaning itself of viral corpses. 'Tis so nice to be able to pummel these things into submission before they can cause any real damage.

I will admit, though, that those three days sure felt like a week... :sick:

You lucky bastard.. I'm on day 3 already. Maybe I'm getting a bit better in the shaking/cold sweat factor but the wanting to puke factor is getting worse.

I HATE'CHU! :soak:

Heh... I didn't even bother with a flu shot.

[bad Italian cliche]Us'a Ciccones, we'sa have many a great genetics carried through our familys, including immune systems the envy of others.[/bad Italian cliche]

On the other hand, the tried and true rememdies help as well; here's a breakdown for the curious:

Three teaspoons of Liquid Silver daily
One teaspoon of Buckley's
Two Vitamin C tablets a day
Two Tylenol Cold tablets a day
Two jugs of 5-Alive Citrus
Four bowls of Lipton Chicken Noodle Soup
Two layers of socks
Going to work with two layers of clothes (yeah, I worked as well, if you can believe it)

Heh... as I said, that flu didn't stand a chance. :kam:

I got 2. So booyah.

I blame having a doctor for a father. Comes home with all sorts of bugs.... When you're five you learn rather quickly at a biological level how to take care of virii and the like.

So yeah, it was about 48 hours before I could relax at all decently. But after that I was great. I'm personally surprised that since the worst of it passed, I had about a week and a half of nasal congestion and coughing... but that was very small potatoes compared to the two night fever I had that kept me from sleeping throughout the "bad" period.
