Nothing like a HOT HOT shower......

[Justice4all]

.....when you are sick.
I just got out of the shower, it was turned up full blast. Steam Cleaned out my sinuses and relaxed the muscles. Unfortunately when the hot water ran out I was FREEZING.
It sure felt nice though for the time it was hot.
Anyone else have a ritual for when you are sick to make you feel better aside from medicine?
P.S. Having the flu and bronchitis SUCKS (not like that is some big surprise)

one other reason they say you feel better is that you open up the pores and sweat glands. Nitrogenous body waste is sometimes best 'excereted' [?] out of the skin, as opposed to peepee and poopoo.

Definately good getting the lungs open; I do that deep breathing, not for any good reason, just for the head rush.

as gross as this may sound this is what I do
stay in bed - no relief meds (except pain relief if the flu) - dont shower for 2 days and stay under the covers with sweats on - a nice warm drink with a shot in it too - get the pores all opened up and SWEAT the buggers out. After 2 days of it, a real hot hot hot shower or bath - generally feel a lot better at that point.

i love taking hot showers and/or hot bubble baths. always fun to have someone with you, though. the hot water in my apt sucks, though. i share with 2 other apartments in a 4 family house.
i load up on the drugs as well so that i feel no pain and then cuddle with my kitties.
i do wish my shower came with a bathtub so i can have fun with my Duckie

Hot shower-- MAW-NAY!

When sick, I likes the hot shower, then I wait 20 minutes or so for the hot water to come back, then have a nice soak!
I fill the tub up with hot water so that when I get in, there is a real chance of it sloshing over the side.
I roll up one edge of a wash rag a few turns and put the rolled end on the ledge and let the rest hang down over the round overflow thing to slow the water from going down it.
I'll just lay there with the radio on, mebbe punch the clown a time or two... when the water starts to get lukewarm, I add some more.
Hey, I'm sick. I ain't going anywhere.
I'll also crack the window to get a lil' breeze because I don't like it to get too stuffy.

I drink a lot of apple juice and usually crave things like grapes and tangerines (I don't know why). I like to lay in bed under the covers and read my book, sleeping on and off. The hot shower feels the best, and when I am done, I put my hair in two braids and curl back up in bed with my book again.

Run a batch and do a bong hit.



But I guess that works even when you're not sick.

hate to admit it, but when I feel like I want to run a batch, I know I'm past the midpoint and starting to feel better.

the best thing for sinus pain, or any head pain is vicodin. being that isnt always readily available, therma flu works pretty well to clear you up

Im home sick today with the flu, Ive been scarfing down chicken soup with hot sauce. I took a super hot shower to get the steam and to open the pores, and now Im in my LL Bean robe with my wool clogs. My beds definitely going to need a linen change after this bout. Ive been sleeping with a vaporizer going with vicks in it and been taking the stuff the doctor told me to, and Im feeling alot better. I have the tub/shower combination, but the walls too close to the edge of the tub, so if I were to lay back in it, my chin would be tucked in too far to be comfortable. I dont know why they dont make longer tubs.

I usually just lye down and blow my nose 8000 times. That always makes me feel better, oh yea and DEFANLTY a hot shower, a LONG HOT SHOWER to clear up my sinus'. Feel better man, start eating some oranges. Im finding out that the first signs that I start to feel like I comming down with something I eat like 5 oranges, maybe eve a few lemmons, just for that added vitaman C.

well it happened - I woke up during the night sunday night and my sinus's, ears and throat hurt. Went to work anyway. By 10 last night I was DONE. Had to call in sick today the first time in 2 years. Ugh. Flat on my back napping and watching tv.

Christmas Eve is tomorrow - I HAVE to shake this asap.

screw the run of the mill illness - I went for STREP instead.

Fun.

Good thing about the Strep Throat, it's a good ice breaker for a cool conversation with your doctor about the flesh-eating bacteria.

Be sure to ask for pictures...
