Welcome to Aku's place - where ANYTHING can happen!

they give you chicken broth in the hospital, do you have any chicken bouillon you can get there? ( You just add hot water to it)

[Akuyi]

I have... vegetable bouillon. But you have a point, it never hurts to have chicken bouillon in the house. Gonna add it to my shopping list!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

vegetable bouillon will help too...it's more about getting warm liquid's (with some nutritional value) into your body to flush out the toxins of the virus.

Also, I just learned from a lady who donated a kidney that when you take ibuprophen or any NSAID pain drug you need to drink a lot of water because it is hard on your kidney's ( she can't take those kinds of pain killers anymore since she only has one kidney after donating the other and was told not to).

[Akuyi]

Wow, I never knew. But I usually drink a lot anyway. So I'm probably safe.

Just don't over do the fluids and flood the electrolytes out of your system. Probably why bouillion or soup are good because they usually contain salt as well.

Are you feeling better now Akuyi? If illness or fever progresses for more then 5 days then go in and ask to be tested for viruses such as mono/strep/meningitis that may require medication.

[Akuyi]

I am feeling better. A bit dizzy after working 8 hours today, but it's slowly improving.

[galled]

At least you're moving the right direction!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Don't over do it! Take a nap maybe when you get done work, glad you are feeling better. Dizzy can be also because you have not been eating much or lingering congestion.

[Akuyi]

I'm working in an office, there is no napping there. xD

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I nap when I get home, lay on the couch and take a snooze. We don't have a break room at work, most of the day I am standing since we share the computer I often don't get time to sit until end of the day.

[Akuyi]

Ah no, if I start sleeping, then I sleep for real and won't be awake again for 1.5 hours or even three. xD

And standing all day sounds awful!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I suppose standing is better for our bodies then sitting all day...either way, it is nice to do the opposite of the other.

[Akuyi]

True, it feels great to take a walk after sitting the chair all day!

Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!
Are you feeling better today?

[Lemon Cheesecake]

ok, so...if you have been eating a carb reduced diet for awhile, do not, I repeat DO NOT, eat a carb saturated diet (like a Thanksgiving meal) for two days in a row!!! It just doesn't sit right in the tummy.
