Re: Sick of cold and flu - yshimy - 01-22-2006
oh, got the same problem at work...... But they put it on HOT, not warm, i hate it. :angry4:
I'd rather they just put it on Fan to circulate air and the outside temp is good enough

My throat feels like I've swallowed a cheese grater.
Sorry just felt like having a moan - I hate being ill!
Tell me about it, my work's AC is the same... ... :evil:

AC's are so not healthy things at all they just circulate all the germs and stuff - yuck!
Er guys never whinge when they're sick? Please! When a man is ill he turns into the biggest baby ever! They always use it as an excuse to make other people run around after them.
Anyway, the getting out and about has done the trick, plus lots of Lemsip.

From here on make sure you have a balanced intake of Vitamin C to prevent catching cold.
Hope everyone gets well soon
cheers,

Echinacea is very good for keeping colds and flu at bay.
Vitamin C will do no good for smokers as the toxins inhaled in the smoke destroy Vitamin C in the body.
- Jeev - 01-22-2006
righto choco
,Vitamin C wont help smokers.
i dunno whats the brand name here for the meWakerleyation but citrizine does help in colds.and for flu take a ibu para combination. By the way i am a pharmacist but am working in media and portals. :lol: .cheers,

Choco, I can't believe you said that about blokes and illness..... but would there be any chance you could pop the kettle on for me, nip out for a couple of DVDs, do a spot of cleaning and just whizz round the supermarket while you're on
?
