    Unfortunately, I'm supposed to work through wendesday and work has gotten crazy with problems since last week...hence no sleep. I'm going to bring everything home with me tonight, and hopefully if I wake up sick tomorrow I can work from home. Anyone ever heard of getting a vitamin c shot?

    Definitely Emergen-C.  Take at least 3 packets a day.  I'd probably do 4-5/day.  Drink lots of water.  You might want to try doing a hot bath in epson salts and try to sweat it out also.  Get lots of rest.

    this is going to make me sound like an alcoholic, but if you can do it, do a shot of vodka with some pepper sprinkled on top. FI is Ukrainian and his whole family swears by this! Feel better soon!

    I'm so sorry you feel sick! It seems like everyone has this nasty cold going around. I had it last week and now FI is down for the count. Definitely just rest rest rest! The Emergen-C works wonders! It's amazing what just one day off from work and resting will do. I have felt like a brand new person sometimes after staying home just one day to rest. Feel better! And knottie vibes! :0)
