I am fricken sick again...

[mitch04133]

So I haven't been feeling well for a month...I went to the doctors after I got off work this morning, and I have broncitis, and is at the beginning of pneunomia. Why does this always happen to me?? I leave for Vegas in 2 days, and I am running a fever, and I feel crappy!! I am so stuffy, have a aweful cough, and my chest is filled with snot. I don't want to be sick when I go on my trip, I am scared that it is going to suck!! I took tonight and tomorrow off of work so I have time to get better. And that is another thing, I can't afford to take alot of time off work cause I am still on probabtion and it got extended 3 months when I was off for my surgery. I hope I don't get s*** canned, but I have a fever of 100, and I don't think its a good idea to work especially when I have a trip planned...It just never ends!! Sorry had to rant!!

Hopefully the fever will burn away the germs and the Dr has given you some medicine?


Trying to think of good cures in general (dont know for pnemonia, sorry)- um . . .decongestants, avoid dairy products as they make you produce more mucus, plenty of fluids, gentle exercise, eucalyptus oil and hotwater, hot lemon and honey drinks, spicy curry (spices are good for you) chicken or lentil soup . . . any other suggestions?


Not trying to trivialise your illness at all, just trying to think of how to make you feel better. Take care x

I used to get brochitis all the time until I found this stuff called colloidal silver. It is a nasal spray that you can buy at health food or herbal stores. It costs about $14.00 and it is soooo worth it. If you go get some today I am willing to put money on it that you are feeling much better by tomorrow and that your fever is gone.


All it is, is a mineral that kills respiritory viruses on contact. Whenever I had bronchitis the doc would give me antibiotics which didnt do anything because 9 time out of 10 brochitis is viral. It would last for about 3-4 weeks but when I uses the colloidal silver it would clear up almost over night. Its amazing. you should try it.

Can you buy some zinc and or zicam...zinc is natural and it will boost
your immune system and help you get better quicker...i take 50 mg when
im sick a day, and then 25 mg if you think you need it...like before
bed..but eat before hand or it will hurt your tummy. but seriously it
helps get over sickness quicker

Thanks for the responses...I am using a zinc medicine and have been for about 2 weeks..haven't really seen any results with that. That nasal spray, is it addictive? I was addicted to nasal spray and I am a bit weary about using it again. I will try some hot tea w/lemon and some honey good idea!! I bought a humdifier, and I am on 3 different drugs. Antibiotic called Biaxic, decogested, and couch syrup with codeine...I hope to god I feel better...Thanks for the advice!!
