Is there anyone else out there suffering with this bloody miserable chest/head bug? OMG I think I'm going to die! Coughing, chest congestion, headache, sinus pressure, joints ache, throat feels like I'm swallowing razor blades! I can't take anything for it because I'm on high blood pressure meds. THIS SUCKS!

    1000mg Garlic Pills helps alot with colds and eating alot of Radishes and also Mushrooms, I know it sounds wierd but it works wonders. And it helps for sleeping if you put pure peppermint oil on your chest and also the bottom of your feet.

    You need a hot Toddy! I had NO idea what this was and my brother suggested having one the last time I got sick. Google it. Good stuff! Feel better!

    Taliar93,
    Awe, sorry you're feeling awful as well. Sounds bizarre, but thanks for being there with me! Hopefully we'll both be back to ourselves soon! Can't wait to get back on the exercise equipment again. All I do now is cough up a lung!
    Yes, a hot toddy is what I should have. My dad always swore by them! Have to get DH to pick me up some rum. I'm using vics, drinking hot ginger and honey, hot lemon and honey, keeping the plain water intake up, towel over the head and head over a bowl of steaming hot water with Vics vaporub in it, chicken soup, the whole 9 yards.
    Oil of oregano is another "wonder drug" that people are telling me to take.
    Thanks again everyone, I'll try some of these. Have a great evening/day, whatever time it is where you are now.

    Not sure if I could be of any help but I have been searching for natural remedies to help prevent being sick. I tried a bunch of natural remedies and checked out this article and it has alot of great information and tips. Honestly, take your supplements, eat right and exercise! If you have kids - take the Progressive probiotic - it is great. http://www.vivamagonline.com/natural-immunity-boosters/
