Ramblings of the feverish

[brihana25]

The flu sucks.

Fevers suck.

Swollen glands suck.

Missing three days of work due to the above three items when you're already too short on hours to survive sucks.

Cherry schnapps mixed with Diet Mt. Dew does not suck and is in fact very yummy and makes you forget the above four listed items. Or at least... not care about them.

That is all.

did you get Tamiflu? i recommend it above all else (prescription only) as I went from being on all fours in my living room at 4am wanting to die to being a normal person who was sick and exhausted after I took my first dose.

Get your doc to prescribe it ASAP if you are still in the first 2 days of symptoms!!!

other than that, wishing you all the best and sending you virtual chicken soup...I really do feel your pain

[brihana25]

Yeah, I did get to the doctor and get my $10/pill prescription for Tamiflu.

The upside - within 24 hours I felt human again.

The downside - it makes me fall asleep for no particular reason, and it makes me itch like crazy.

I found the same to be true of Demerol everytime I've had it. I hurt just as badly - I just can't seem to care about it.

Sorry you feel like crap. Get better soon.

I need an icon that says something like... A shot (of booze) a day makes you not give a shit if you need the doctor or not. :)

For someone who doesn't drink much, I sure seem to have a fondness for it at times, don't I?

I hope you feel better very soon. A bout of the flu absolutely wrecked my finances in January. But, if you haven't been to the doc go asap. I struggled with it for about 10 days before I gave in. The only thing that made me better were the antibiotics and Robutissun D.

I don't even want to think about how small my check is going to be next week. I'm only bringing home about $150 on a good week as it is.

But... if I'd gone to work, not only would I have gotten everyone else sick, I'd have fucked up everything I touched so... what would have been the point?

I hope you feel better soon!

[brihana25]

Thank you. I actually do feel much better, if it weren't for the danged pills making me so sleepy.

Ack - hope you're feeling better... :)

Cherry schnapps mixed with Diet Mt. Dew

Heee, right now I'm drinking Mountain Dew: Code Red - Mountain Dew with a rush of cherry flavour... having Mountain Dew is quite significant for me 'cos as far as I'm aware, there's only one shop in London that sells it and I have to make a special trip if I want to go get some!

[brihana25]

No Mt. Dew? Oh, man... I absolutely could not live without it. I drink probably four or five 20oz. bottles of it a day.

I don't like Code Red, which is odd, because I love cherry syrup in regular Dew. And the Schnapps, of course. :)

Then there's all the other flavors, like LiveWire, which was orange... which I also didn't like, despite the fact that Minute Maid Orange Soda mixed with Mt. Dew was a staple of my diet in college. And there was that "BlackOut" or whatever it was called, which was supposed to be grape but was just nasty.

[_gater_]

Woah, so many flavours, I had no idea! I was really chuffed getting my hands on some Code Red, now I'm curious and wanna find the others!

I totally loved Mountain Dew when it was in its abundance all those years ago, no idea why it disappeared over here. *boo*
