…and right before a long anticipated trip! On Thursday I’m going to Missoula for Foreign Language days, and we get to sit in on some seminars and classes and stuff. But today, throughout the day, I’ve been feeling sicker and sicker. This morning I had a tiny bit of a sore throat, and now, I have a headache, I’m tired, and my back, hips, knees, and ankles ache! I’m going on this trip whether I should be on my death bed or not!
Please pray for me, send healing vibes, whatever but it’s imperative that I go on this trip and enjoy it! I will try to get plenty of sleep and drink lots of fluids, but if anyone has some home-remedies they’d like to share, I would surely appreciate it. Or, if anyone can tell me what the ancients did for their illnesses, I would really like that.
There’s a Koean folk recipe for cold: unknown amount of dried red pepper powder in a mouthful of soju(distilled rice wine). But it’s a pity the substances sound too rare for you, although the pepper powder could be replaced by chili and soju could be replaced by a strong distilled wine family. Some say it’s really effective, but it might be too strong. But I never tried this recipe. :sigh:
thanks guys! It’s morning and I feel a bit better. I think I’ll skip youth group tonight just to make sure I don’t over-do it.
I had some saltine crackers and two cups of tea, one was licorice with honey, I don’t know what the other was. I will have some this morning too, with ginseng and honey. I’m a tea-a-holic, can’t you tell? I also took a hot shower last night, it felt so good! too bad I used up all the hot water.
Well, thank God I had a flu-shot, or it might have been much worse.
wow, I had those exact symptoms last weekend. 48 hours of fever later and I was feeling better. Then it turned into a cold. Hopefully yours doesn’t do the same.
I’m feeling better everybody, thanks. My throat hurts a bit but I think that’s because I just woke up. Going on that trip this afternoon w00t! I don’t think I developed a fever. I turned my thermostat up in my room and I took a hot bath last night. I hope I feel a bit more better because this morning, I hocked up this big…oh nevermind you don’t want to hear about it.
True to form, I had a dream last night that I missed the bus to Missoula.
I’m back from my trip. It was great, I wish we could have stayed longer. I went to some presentations about Mycenea and Crete and Philosophy. I’m chomping at the bit to go back. I resent the fact that I’m a Junior because I’m so anxious to go to uni now.
On our next trip we’re going to Colorado in April. I love traveling, but sharing a bus with a bunch of annoying freshman is going to limit my patience.
