Good Health... Who needs it?

Posted 01-21-2008 at 11:38 AM by Typhanie
Apparantly I don't. I get sick more often than anyone I know. It really sucks.

Yesterday, halfway through the day, I got this SEVERE sharp pain on the right side of my stomach, that was crippling. Hurt to move. After spending most of the day and night laying on the couch, that stupid pain went down to a dull throb. I'm at work now, just waiting for the day to end to make the pain go away.

Oh, but it gets better. NOW I have a sore throat. Hurts to swallow and breathe. Come ON. Give me a break here. So now I need to go get some vitamin C tablets or something in hopes of getting rid of all this stuff.

Ugh. I haven't really been healthy in YEARS. Stupid non-existant immune system.

Of course it could be because my stupid coworker beside me sneezes *every* *day* without ever covering his mouth and nose. It's absolutely disgusting.

awww poor Typh. Do you take suppliments? I used to get sick when someone sneezed a mile away. Now I take a multivitamin, a calcium +D, vitamin C and when I really feel run down I take a B complex. Then when I do feel something come on, I take Airborne 4 times a day for 2 days. Usually never hits.

Not usually. I have a real problem taking pills. And if it's something to add to a drink and I don't like it, my gag reflex will kick in and I'll have a hard time getting it down.

I do need to just suck it up and take some, it's just hard when my throat closes at the thought of swallowing a pill.

*sigh* Stupid childhood trauma.

Get yourself some nice injectable vitamins...

My immune system is non exsistant as well, on occasion I will shoot myself with vitamin c or b12, it seems to work better that way, otherwise I just deal with it...I HATE Airborne....GAG!

you can get chewable vitamin C!

And Airborne now comes in lots of flavors. The Lemon Lime is pretty good!

I've never tried airborne stuff.

Hmmm... Why haven't I tried the chewable VC? I'll have to look them up.

Lacey, the injectables, do they have any special training involved? Where do you even get those, anyway? I've never even heard of them.

If you are going to drink Airborne...here's the trick from a fellow-gagger...Mix it up, hold your nose & drink it down as fast as you can. If you can't taste it...it goes down pretty good. Follow it with a good water chaser! Always works when I get ready to fly somewhere...recycled air is the worst for getting sick...at least for me.
