Cancel my appointment to see Doc today...I feel like a cold coming, nauseated..YUCK

Hello, I have not had a cold or flu or any problem since I have been banded over 14 months, I was scheduled to see my doc today for a possible fill teak, but I canceled because I don't feel well. I went to exercise this morning and felt nauseated and mild stomach pains. Now my nose feels like it is getting stuffy like sinus drainage and my throat feel like it is about to get sore, and I am feeling weak, what do any of you take for days like this...I feel like I want to drink ginger ale for nausea, but I don't want the carbonation, any herbal teas? Thanks N.

Your not pregnant are you?  Went out and found you a man after the Oprah show?  LOL!  Seriously, I hope you feel better.  Go home and drink lots of fluid, rest, and take some zinc. Tonya

A ha, your mind is in the gutter..., I am not engaging in any activities that would cause pregnancy...lol...well at the moment...hehehe... Thanks for the zinc tip, I did miss my vitamins for two days, I guess a bug somehow got me ...I guess a quick phone call to my ex may be well over due, I usually call him in these emergencies, I really could use some tender loving care at this moment um... well at least a massage.. N.

The zinc really helps and you can buy it where it's like a hard candy.  Hope you feel better soon!

Naomi, That's a bummer, but I know how your feeling right now.  I woke up this morning with a headache and a half and now my eyes keep watering up, my sinuses are feeling funky not a good time to be sick.  As for the ginger ale open it and leave it to get flat it will make you feel better.  No carbonaiton in it so no bubbles.  My mom used to do that when I was kid worked well.  I hope you feel better.

Thanks sweetie,  This is the first time I feel like barfing...I guess I will go home early today and get some chicken soup and ginger ale and orange juice and some Vicks vapor rub for the throat and a warm heat pad and get under the covers.... N.

Green tea and suafed this strips that dissolve under your tounge work wonders. I got really sick while my kdis were sick and tahts what i did and teh warm green tea was awesome Kathy

sorry to hear that you are feeling under the weather, feel better!!!!! I cant help you on what to take, so far, when I got sick, I went and got a shot from my PCP

Thanks Laverne, I am usually scared of flu shots since I rarely get the flu, I am a person who rarely ever touch door knobs with my hands, I am one of the crazy people who are scared of germs...but anyway, I guess I will go home early today  and get under the covers... N.

NAOMI, I AM SORRY YOU ARE NOT FEELING WELL.  RES****ER AND MORE REST.  YOU ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITES ON THIS SITE.  I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR POSTS AND REPLYS.  I HOPE I CAN FOLLOW IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS.  I WAS BANDED ON 8/30/06 AND AM DOWN ABOUT 25LBS.  BUT ITS NOT THE BAND BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE RESTRICTION YET.  ENOUGH ABOUT ME...FEEL BETTER AND KEEP POSTING.
