well, providing that I can keep stuff down, I eat chicken and stars soup with saltines and drink a ton of water, and sleep alot. if I cant keep anything down, then I just sleep alot and drink water even though it comes back up after a bit. better to be berely hydrated than totally dehydrated.

I'm not a doctor but I can say from experience, you could be feeling sick from something you ate, or you could have a virus.  Try eating saltines ... that always make me feel better.  If you're not feeling any better tomorrow, you should seek medical advice.  Hope you're feeling better soon.

For some reason I've always found that Homemade Chicken Soup helps in more ways than anything else.  I start it from scratch by buying a whole chicken.  If you don't feel like doing that, then my sons and their wives tell me the only other kind of chicken soup that helps them feel better is Mrs. Grasses.\n\nOn another front, if you're not allergic to anything Advil Cold and Sinus is terrific.  In Michigan now, because drug addicts were breaking it down, I have to ask the Pharmacy for it.  But it kept me in classes at the college this last fall.  At least it helps enough to make a person functional because of the antihistimine.  But if you're taking meds for anything, ask your doctor first...especially if you have high blood pressure.

Get peppermint tea and some fresh ginger.  Brew tea with slice of fresh ginger.  This will help settle your stomach, small and large intestine.  Once you are thru the nausea then hit the chicken soup made with plenty of veggies.  This is the easiest digested and vitamin packed food when dealing with illness.

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.\n\nI have a HORRIBLE cold right now (why else would I be on this site?!) and I realized that this is the one time I feel like my body has control over me, not the other way around. And it's probably because I wasn't taking good enough care of it to keep it going like I was!\n\nThe two most important things you can do are (1) SLEEP, and (2) DRINK...a LOT. I mean like there will be no water tomorrow. If you're like me, you probably get a fourth of what you're supposed to each day. Which means now is the time to make up, because your body is punishing you. :-)\n\nAside from that, take vitamins (that, again, you should be taking every day). Boost up your immune system with things like Vitamin C (OJ!), Zinc, and Selenium. Go with the Nature's Way echinacea if you would like, but make sure to give your doctor's recommendation dibs.\n\nAlso, stay away from work, school, or other places where you might spread your ickyness. Not for too long, but remember there are other people out there (people with kids!) who will be very unhappy with you if you cramp their style by getting them sick.\n\nKeep the foods you eat pretty bland (is this the rationale behind chicken soup and crackers?) so that you don't put your digestive system through the ringer. The key is nice 'n easy.\n\nI am not sure of this, but I was always told to stay away from dairy products (milk, cheese, etc) as they contribute to the production of phlegm. I'm in the draining process now and don't need any more mucus, thank you.\n\nTake the time (when you're not sleeping) to catch up with movies, books, or online shopping (my personal favorite!) to keep yourself indoors. Try to keep your physical activity to a minimum, but depending on how severe your cold is, this might not be a problem. My body protests every time I try to climb a flight of stairs (and I live on the 3rd floor!) so taking it easy is not difficult for me.\n\nThis is just me, but I like to stay away from over-the-counter medication (unless I need it to sleep at night - NyQuil is my legal drug) because I think I can better gauge if I'm getting better without it.\n\nGood luck and feel better!

Find a swimming pool or a body of water hopefully with cold water and jump in!  It will bring your subconscious back to the serenity of the womb.  Guaranteed to make you feel better.  Can you drive to a beach?  That is the ultimate!  Moods shift fast... you will get better and laugh again.

Cook something. Scream into a pillow. Watch tv. Breathe. Call another friend. Mediate. Do anything that will keep you from vomiting.

I strongly recommend talking to your doctor and getting a chest xray to rule out pneumonia.  Being as you had a cold which is primarily an upper respritory disease, if it suddenly relapsed into a stronger virus (and being as your immunities are already down) it could turn into any number of things quickly.  Also, bulk up on your vitamin C and zinc.  Both will help you feel better faster.  The primary thing, listen to your body.  Sounds like you are worn down from all of this and are in serious need of rest.  And dont forget the old standard of homemade chicken soup.  Not the canned stuff.  Homemade chicken soup has so many vitamins and nutrients in it that its not funny and its also a comfort food.  Hope you feel better soon.

Go and see a GP and request for a MRI scan. The scan will X ray you inside out. This should help you to resolve some of your problems.\n\nUse the scan to check for cancer also. It may be something that makes you feel sick.

The best thing for the flu is time...and maybe some Tylenol.  Then try hot tea with honey, and top that off with some good chicken noodle soup.

It is funny that nobody thinks about the obvious. To keep from getting sick just keep yourself healthy. Eat healthy foods, exercise regularly. Shower daily and wash your hands often. That is all it takes. Of course nothing is 100% so if you start to feel sick take Zicam as soon as possible and you will feel better in no time. Good Luck!
