So I apparently have fallen sick after fighting this “thing” off for a while. My children have been very ill but up to this point I thought I made it until two days ago when I woke up and felt like someone had placed a ball in my chest.
My cough was horrible and then the aches and pains started, including shivers and a fever…which always makes me very agitated. I went to see my ob today and he told me that if I didn’t get better by tomorrow he would prescribe some antibiotics…well I am definitely worse
I have heard many different remedies to help with symptoms of a bad cold, cough and congestion. My mom and dad back in Italy tell me that three lemons (squeezed, no sugar, every morning) will do the trick. I have tried but boy they are rather …acidic….
Some of my friends say that gargling with water and salt can help … and others told me that i must get some antibiotics ASAP.
Of course paramount to all remedies is rest - but alas with five little ones and a number and the deployed hubby not much hope for that…. maybe a good night sleep will cure me of these ailments but if you happen to know of another remedy let me know I would love to try it!

Steam, my friend, steam. Go to the gym and sit in the steam room for a bit. Hopefully, they have childcare at your gym. ??
This Influenza has been going all around the country. Just as you describe with the fever, chills, colds! I know so many people who have complained of the very same symptoms. A lot of them complained that their back hurt too! I sure hope you feel better. I love tea with honey and lemon. I prefer it really hot. That way I can breath in the vapors from the tea! The steam feels so soothing. Lemons are know to be a great antiseptic as well. Hope you feel better soon!!
