Dear Cna62375,\nYou've certainly brought your mental health concerns to the right place! The Y!A community members are fully aware of and do appreciate the intimate conditions involving your prognosis. Most recognized doctors in the field of medicine would employ a holistic approach to your ailment.\n Cna62375, please begin your day with a well balanced breakfast to include an ample portion of fruits and grains. After your morning routines are finished, enjoy a brisk walk around the block. If you happen to meet any stray dogs along the way, it would be a good idea to antagonize the creatures in order to add some vigor to your workout.\nNow Cna62375, the remaining portions of your day should be filled with interesting activities and new studies to keep your mind active and in balance, complimentary to what you have done with the physical side of yourself.\nAfter loitering around at the public library all afternoon with a bunch of smelly hobos, you can appreciate a warm bath and time to be good to yourself. Begin to collect an archive of various music genres that you can resolve one day to enjoy after you get the rest of your chores done.\nCna62375, if after following my advice, simply take two aspirin and forget we ever had this little discussion.\nThank you, Cna62375. Have a great day!\nDr.Blake

Some evidence has suggested that zinc might trim a day or two off of the usual 7-10 day course.  But essentially there is nothing you can do except treat the symptoms.  Hydration, decongestants, and analgesics can be helpful for symptoms.  Painful or excessive cough can be treated with anti-tussives, but if possible avoid using these, since cough is an effective way of cleaning your lungs and airways.  \n\nHelp prevent getting a cold when people around you are sick by washing your hands frequently, and never touching your face.  You may want to frequently clean off keyboards and other surfaces that other people use.\n\nIf you have a cold, be kind and wash your hands frequently,  do not cough or sneeze into the air or into your hands, and let people know that you have a cold so that they can take precautions.  If you have something worse than a common cold, avoid people alltogether and see a physician.\n\nFinally if you do catch someone's common cold--and you probably will--take comfort that you will never get THAT particular cold again, since you are building an immunity to it.  However, there will always be plenty of new strains coming along every year that you can catch.

Well sweetheart unfortunately there is no cure for these things. The only thing you can do is be very willing to take the different cocktails of medications to see which one works for you and stick with it. \n\nEver medication for everything has side affects. You just have to measure which ones are you willing to deal with. \n\nOn a happy note.... Please don't think because you have these illnesses that you are less than a person because you are not. You can still work, you can still party, you can still have friends (all should know of your illness and except it), you can still make and be in love. \n\nSo keep you head up and just try to no matter what stick with your medication, that is the only thing that will make the difference in how you live the rest of your life\n\nGood Luck

Easy.. I remember those days.. Just stay at home for a short while, away from dust, cold-catching germs, and eat ice cream(without nuts) and chicken soup (without a lot of noodles, meat).. It will pass in no time.

I'm dreadfully sorry to hear you are ill.\n\nGet all the treatment you can, assume a positive attitude towards your condition. I'm not saying you should enjoy it, but you should approach it from a standpoint that you are going to survive it. Choose life.\n\nDepending on the type of cancer, there are really good therapies and medication available. Talk to your doctor, find out everything you can about your disease, search the internet there's tons of information out there, and do not be intimidated by doctors. Ask them what they mean when they give you jargon, do not be afraid to get a second opinion.\n\nGood luck!
