Got Flu.
God I hate it.
What the best ways to fight it?
I usually wears warm shoes, and eats a lot of fruits. Oranges are good.
Ny-Quil, Sprite, and Chicken Soup.
Cowboy up, dude.
Whenever I get the flu or cold, I just continue with my regular routine. The less you dwell on it, the less it’ll bother you.
I believe that Moxie works a lot better than Sprite. Moxie cures just about anything…
plenty of rest, chicken noodle soup, ginger ale works too… and I heard that eating starchy foods such as crackers will keep you from throwing up and stuff like that. I dunno if it’s an old wives tale, but I found it worked for me.
as for continuing the routine, a cold maybe possible, but a flu I find it very hard to do…
Sleep.

Isn’t that SARS? And isn’t it supposed to be dayquil? (Not that THAT matters much. ^_^)

It doesn’t bother me that much, but its annoying. A lot. Trying to sleep with it is just bah. I wander around feeling weakened. I continue doing my stuff, but I think the fastest I get rid of it, the better.
Edit : Its a cold, not a flu. sorry, my lack of english skills strikes. I always confound them.
I got a cold on monday, and I’ve been sick since… man what a time to get sick, on the last week of the summer break.
: Mr. Cactus Smilie is angry at Booken’s cold, and offers to cuddle it away.
I’m not sick very often, so I don’t really have any advice. I imagine you should try and stay warm though: Take lots of warm baths, and wear thich clothes - those sorts of things.
Just lay in your bed for days after the cold is over to make sure it’s gone, and hope blood clots don’t form in your legs.
Gaming is good for everything. 
huggles Booken Feel better soon!
:moogle: No, she doesn’t know that of which she speaks.
Drink and sweat. Eat LOTS of vitamin C (Oranges are good) and drink, drink, drink. Your body needs lotsa fluid. Stay in bed so you sweat and drink as much as you can.

I’m not big on pity threads, but the flu is definetely worth one. That thing is just awful to have, as for fighting it, there’s no real point. Treat yoruself fairly well, but that thing is going away when it feels like it and not before.
Vitamin C, hell yes.
Go out and find the orange juice that has the most Vitamin C in it, buy some, and chug that bitch!
Then wash it down with Ginger Ale and NyQuil, pass out, and repeat.

Yeah…but not all at once…that’d be kinda icky. :get it?:
I have used Chinese medicine with good results. The cold and flu formula greatly reduced the agony of my ailments. Hopefully you can get some at health food/medicine stores near you.
If you just want comfort, have a little sip of sweet liqueur or brandy before you go to bed. It helps you sleep.
I like Ny-Quil, it’s like the moonshine of medicine.
