You too Lori. Try the garlic drink. It really did help. Still congested but feeling much better. Take care and get lots of rest!

UG. I’m sick too! No fun at all! I’ve been juicing like crazy trying to feel better… maybe I’ll try Tiffany’s remedy… sounds… um… delicious…

Your omelet sounds great though! Wish I could taste so I could make that. Sadly, this cold is taking away from the delight of foods.

Feel better!

I feel for you! I can’t taste anything eiher and went to bed around 7:00 pm. This is the sickest I’ve been in a long time. More fruits and veggies!

Thanks so much Jan. The peppermint oil is a great idea, and I have some on hand. I also started using a saline nasal flush yesterday. Oh my gosh, it saved me! That and the fact that I was in bed by 8 PM last night. I’ve been stressed out as well…time to slow down! Glad to hear you’re feeling better. Take it easy – I will too.

[...] for all your well wishes. I really do think the Immunity Builder drink helped. Feeling so much better, but still going to take it easy [...]

I am now on day 6 of what you have, Heather. I am finally thinking that I am on the mend. I’m a teacher and haven’t been this sick, or missed this much school, since my first year when your body has to get used to being about all those “kid germs.” I went to the doctor yesterday to make sure that I didn’t have a sinus infection because I continued to have a headache. She said I had a cold that has systemically attacked my entire immune system and that was likely brought on by stress. Duh! She’s right….I had been working wicked long hours! I am turning over a new leaf! Anyway, here’s what helped me more than a nettie pot. I boiled water in a large pan on the stove and added a bunch of peppermint oil drops, turned off the flame and breathed in the vapors. I also took a washcloth and rinsed it in hot water and added the drops to that and sniffed and breathed that in through my nose and mouth and did that several times a day. I also used saline spray several times a day in my nose. You can make your own….but I just used a bottle from the drugstore. These two things really helped with the congestion! I was just left with exhaustion, headache, and red and watery eyes that would scare a small child! My husband MADE me take a nap yesterday and I slept for 3 1/2 hours! You need more rest than you can imagine to beat this wicked thing! Sending up a prayer for healing for you!

Kyla, I’m so glad you had a good time in Nashville, and I’m still sad I missed you! Yes, the Wild Cow…I’ve only been once. Definitely need to go back!

Hope you are feeling better! Keep an eye on that cold. Bella has pneumonia! My “mom” instinct told me something was just not right. I took her in to the dr just to get her more asthma meds, and the dr said he did not like the sound of her cough…so now we have 10 days of antibiotics, yuck! So take care of yourself HEAB I will need that lunch date in April!

So sad to hear you’re still not feeling well!!
Oats in a jar always make everything, temporarily, better.
Thank you again for all of your Nashville recommendations, I had a great time!
Plus I highly recommend The Wild Cow if you haven’t already been there.
