Ugh I feel horrible

I don't know if I'm coming down with the flu, but I feel like crap. My sinuses have been killing me and I'm starting to ache. I haven't been sick like this in YEARS. Just sent hubby out for some Benadryl and some OJ. I hope that helps knock this back to normal. At least I've dropped a couple more pounds. That's something to smile about, right? :) Are there any particular cold/sinus/flu meds that we should be avoiding? I've tried looking it up, but found different answers.

Be careful w/ the OJ. Full of calories, sugar & carbs. Take some Vit. C pills instead. Feel better!

There's supposedly nothing you "can't" take.  Here's the thing, watch out for sugar content in over the counter syrups....they hide some of that stuff in there.  And be careful with the OJ, lots of sugar there, too....you may end up having to carb detox again afterward (yuck!)

Take some Vitamin C pills, and some echinacea to boost your immune system, and lots and lots of water to stay hydrated (which also helps with the congestion, keeps it fluid so you can get rid of it)

Get plenty of rest and feel better soon!

Thanks! I didn't really even think about the sugars and carbs in the juice when I sent him out. I am THAT fuzzy right now. He's pretty well "trained" to checking labels now. He left his phone here, otherwise I would text him to tell him. If I am that bad off, I will just detox when all is said and done. I am really on track today with my proteins and fluids, so I'm going to make an exception for the juice tonight. Early bedtime is screaming for me.

Well your new profile picture is gorgeous !!

I would water down the orange juice and drink it warm ... It feels good ! I would also get emergen C and drink that , it works good for me and everyone I know . Have you tried rubbing some Vicks on your chest or right under your noise. That seems to help me breath .

Your health comes first so take care !!

Good news...it's not the flu.

 More cough, sore throat and run down with possible fever. Bad news...no antibiotics will take care of what you have...you'll have to push fluids, rest and ride it out.

I get sinus stuff alot...and I live on Claritin D. Only problem is that it does dry me out...to the point that constipation can be an issue for me ( I'm sensitive to that)

Hope you feel better soon!!!

Peace
