Apparently, it is now possible to give one kudo. Though it wasn't always so.

Not now or particularly recently, but I have been sick many times, and I surely will be many more. It shows no signs of not sucking in the future. Recalling how bad it was in the past, I can commiserate to a certain extent with my friends who are sick right now.

I typically get sick for several (2 or more) weeks once a year. Sometimes more. Usually in the early months. It seems even more miserable when it happens in the summer. It is a rare treat for me to have a year free of it.

Store brand Ny-Quil is the stuff for knocking my ass out so I can sleep through as much of the sickness as possible. I hate ingesting so much corn syrup, though. There are probably better ways of getting the DXM/antihistamine/tylenol as indicated by a particular case (sometimes, you don't need cough suppressant, for instance), but when it is time to drag myself out to the store to get something for the sickness, I'm not exactly at that level of cognition, and cocktail products such as Ny-Quil tend to cover the bases.

At least now Benadryl will zonk me out. It didn't always, which was good as I needed it not to so I could use it to keep cats from killing me. Now, I guess that isn't available to me any more. Unless the perilous level of cat allergens, itself, is why I was able to remain conscious before; despite eating the little fuscia pill. The antihistamine in Ny-Quil is there to zonk you out. Antihistamines do nothing for an actual cold/flu, besides that. Yes, "zonk" is the medical term.

From what I've heard, H1N1 is actually milder, symptomatically, than the "regular" flu. Still sucky, since, you know, it's Influenza, but better than if it were worse. You know, they've only just found it in swine. They probably got it from humans.

great!! i was running low on kudos, i thought you had to give them out in bunches, now i can be frugal with them. :)

i have to take a whole bunch of nyquil for it to knock me out.. apparently i have a very high tolerance for knock out stuff. i've never once been "knocked-out" by anything i've ever been given even though the doctor or dentist assures me that most everyone sleeps right through whatever procedure they're going to perform. that's why i'm scared of every going through a major surgery. i just know i'm going to be one of those people that can feel everything.
