Christmasy picture. Anyway, I'm getting sick. Sore throat, headache, slightly stuffed nose, chills, achenes, overall, not doing well. This is not how I want to spend the next week!

So I'm not the only one that's sick?

Sorry to hear that. This sounds like another job for...

JALAPENOOOoooo!!!

Seriously. Eat it. Hurts like hell, but it'll make your throat feel better and it'll make you sweat. It may even get rid of your runny nose, but not before the pepper turns your nose into a faucet.

(Full disclosure: I am a full blown jalapeno advocate when ill. It's one of the first foods I eat if I feel I will be bed-ridden from cold symptoms. I will live and die by Señor Jaley.)

I have a few similar symptoms. I'm telling myself I'm not sick. I almost never get sick.

I've been sick since Tuesday. Luckily, though, no sore throat. Everybody in my house is sick to some degree. Sounds like you may have a touch of flu. Did you get a shot? I didn't, so I'm hoping mine is just a cold. I hope you get better soon.

I got something similar earlier this weekend. no matter how much saltwater I run though my nose, it just doesn't clear.

Same here. My whole school got sick with the flu right before break. Almost all the freshman on the swim team have been sick with the flu. I tried my best to be sanitary, but I lost this battle unfortunately.

Make sure your salt water is sanitary, I've heard of lots of people who have gotten infections and stuff because if bade water.

Yeah, I didn't get a shot either. I'm hoping with a restful weekend I can improve.

if you think it might be flu, get to the doc and get a flu test. if you can get a script for tamiflu in time, it will make your illness a lot less severe and a lot shorter. flu fucking sucks (and kills thousands of people every year), cutting out a week of suffering is a move i'd make 11 times out of 10.
