I take zinc because vitamin C you can get enough from your diet. On top of that though, i don't know. I take zinc and a multivit (as well as CLO and ALA) every day and i havent been properly sick in about 3 years.

Im hoping you got to eat those cookies before you got sick?

billie try some zicam...the nasal swab is amazing! Get the one that has the Q-tip on the box...just snap it open and rub it inside your nostril while taking deep breaths.

Try this stack its what I use and it works all the time! Motrin (headache etcc), Zicam (nasal congestion and reliefe), and Sudafed (general congestion and reliefe) (sp?). That should clear you up in no time! Also may want to try those vicks shower tabs I love them things.

Knock on wood with all the veggies and fruits I've been eating this winter season for my diet I have gotten so many vits and mins I have been doing pretty solid.

Workouts are looking really good in here! Ansd your wedding dress is amazing sweety...you got one lucky guy there

I truly believe Glutamine helps with this and drinking green tea.

Fitgirl70 · 03-07-2008, 06:31 AM

Yep, I agree with Brutus....Green tea truly helps, I'm a total believer in that. Also, another quick little thing that you can do is use a saline nasal solution every so often. It's easy to use, and it acts like a sinus passage detox, totally clearing out your system.

Oh yeah, get that Zicam stuff, that's what my docs recommend here. It is good stuff.

the other half · 03-07-2008, 07:28 AM

or i have a really good white substance(might be illegal), it doesn't really help get you over your sickness, but you will feel really good!!!!

hope you are feeling better. just kick back and let your man take care of you.
you will get to see if he is good at playing doctor!!

b_reed23 · 03-10-2008, 03:35 PM

2 peices of news! One..I finally went to the doctor and got a shot and some antibiotics...so back to work tomorrow

Second..we finally got the contract back on the house we wanted and we are having the inspection done tomorrow and go to the Mortgage company on Wednesday to get things worked out so...keep your fingers crossed!!

back on the healthy eating wagon tomorrow...I've been eating everything in sight, and the antibiotics do NOT help!

the other half · 03-10-2008, 06:11 PM

yaaaaaaaaaaaa

Archangel · 03-10-2008, 06:11 PM

My fingers are Crossed for ya Sister Billie, wishin ya nothin but the best!!! Hope you feel better quickly!!!

b_reed23 · 03-11-2008, 07:37 AM

well, I thought I was feeling better....all I have had to eat today was yogurt, 3oz chicken, and some noodles

I feel like crap...antibiotics must be making me sick or something (I hope) also running a small fever....

katt · 03-11-2008, 07:45 AM

I'm sorry your not feeling better Billie... Good eating is so incredibly hard to do when your sick,, all you want is comfort food when you feel miserable.. at least I do..

Mine is tomato soup.. made w/water, but I still have to put a whole sleeve of Ritz crackers in it..

b_reed23 · 03-11-2008, 08:55 AM

I haven't been able to really eat anything good or bad without it coming up...I did just finish a very small bowl of icecream

katt · 03-11-2008, 08:57 AM

oohhhh.... flu.....

That's worse...

Triple Threat · 03-11-2008, 09:40 AM

This may or may not work for you, but when my stomach is rebelling against all other food intake, I find that protein shakes are sometimes tolerable.

I use Syntrax Nectar whey isolate post workouts only (cause it is a little on the expensive side), and if I put enough water in the shaker cup, it winds up as the consistency of water or juice, and since the Nectar is all fruit flavors (lemonade, cherry, iced tea--my favorite), it is like drinking a glass of juice, so I can see it being tolerable with a bad stomach. If you can hold down a glass of iced tea, I am pretty sure you could hold this down too.

Feel better Billie

I HOPE it's not the flu...I think it's a reaction to the antibiotics

thanks for all the well wishes guys!!

Archangel · 03-11-2008, 04:10 PM

Heres to a QUICK recovery!!!

the other half · 03-12-2008, 11:47 AM

being sick blows!!!!!!!! we want our old billie back!!!!!

SamEaston · 03-13-2008, 04:23 AM

Hope you get well soon Billie!

My advice to you when taking antibiotics is make sure you are eating probiotics to repopulate your gut and intestines with 'good' bacteria, otherwise you might end up with a sore stomach because you cant digest your food properly.

Full of good advice huh?

b_reed23 · 03-13-2008, 04:54 AM

thanks Sam, and all!

Cody is sick too now...another trip to the Doc..meds for him, more for me cause I'm not getting better, off work all week

b_reed23 · 03-14-2008, 10:47 AM

hi! just wanted to let everyone know that I am slowly getting better

I will be back at work Monday

I am finally able to eat (unfortunatly) Cody's Mom brought us Chicken and dumplings and some kick ass brownies...so I am gonna have a TON of work to do when I'm better

Cody is feeling better already, and we finally got his truck out of the shop (lowered and new front bumper...he is so proud! I will post pics later)

We had the house inspected and it was a no-go there is WAY too much wrong with the house...so the search continues

I am also starting an abs class and walking 2 times a week for about 5 other women right now. We are going to meet at the local lake and I am gonna run everyone through an ab routine and walk a couple miles, I am also helping them with their nutrition, it should be fun! I also need to start training for the annual 5k which is the first week of May this year!! I hope I get to feeling better soon!

Archangel · 03-14-2008, 03:58 PM

Glad you two are on the rebound, sorry about the house, but better to find out now than too late!!! Best Wishes Sister Billie!!!

b_reed23 · 03-17-2008, 01:29 PM

20m walk today, 1 mile

Archangel · 03-17-2008, 06:19 PM

Any news on the House front??? Best Wishes to you Sister Billie!!!

the other half · 03-17-2008, 06:54 PM

b_reed23 · 03-17-2008, 10:37 PM

still looking for a house....

on a positive note...it should be back into the gym tomorrow!

SamEaston · 03-18-2008, 02:58 AM

Fingers crossed for you on the house hunting front! That's a great idea too about meeting up with others to go walking together

How are you feeling now?
