Sleep a lot, eat a lot, and going to the doctor could help.

You could always jsut get trashed. Sometimes if you get enough alcohol in your blood stream the viruses won’t survive.

ewww…the flu
i would make sure to drink plenty of fluids (lots of orange juice!).
if you have a headache don’t put anything cold on your head…try putting a warm washcloth across your head. the reason being, the warm washcloth will dialate your blood vessels (thus reducing your headache) and the cold will make your blood vessels constrict (actually making your headache worse).
oh yeah, get plenty of sleep!

I slept a lot and drank tons of orange flavored gatorade - it helps you rehydrate a little bit faster (so the commercial says) =)
Cheers!

Bedrest and plenty of fluids. OJ is good, but if you are pukey sick then water is better. The acid in the OJ won’t helps much if you are already not feeling well.

Take two aspirins and a paracetamol - works wonders. Hope you feel better soon.

Your right K-man, my doctor told me the exact same thing. If you need to get hydrated fast, drink gatorade or powerade because it helps speed up the process… and doctors are never wrong! :thumb:

remember, 50% of the doctors practicing medicine today graduated in the bottom half of their class from Med School…
Some didn’t even make it on the first attempt…
sobering thoughts eh?
