Yep, ginger for the nausea. It really works. There is also a shot at the docs for nausea. Sorry you're feeling bad! Im trying Olive Leaf Extract to try to get rid of an oogabooga virus that's in my wrist bone for months. Viruses are hard. Any suggestions welcomed by me as well :( And Dad has shingles so make it times two.

Oh if I would have cut that one in half...It would have probably exploded in my face yuck. HOW do you kill a monster like THAT? lol I try not to kill anything on purpose. Sorry I just won't do it. Now if I take a bug that is not so nice to the plants etc and throw it over the fence into the wild area and a bird happens to come and have breakfast...so be it lol. I just cross my fingers that they do not find their way back roflmao. I did alright this year with bad bugs. The good and bad can battle it out with each other. But I love the tips...who knows if and when I need it. Then it is here! Thanks

Now that's a thought. I haven't been sick for quite a while yet I've been exposed to everything. Whatever I had before then was a very mild version of whatever it was, so mild I wondered if I was really sick at all. This could be another very mild case of something. Sometimes I just wish whatever I have would get on with it so I'd know if I am really sick and what I have! :-) Jen

Thanks all. Day 8 now. I am better, although still not sleeping much due to headaches. They may be rebound headaches from all the pain medication I've been taking this week. Nausea is gone, and in fact I have an appetite and keep fantasizing about things I never eat, like fast food/Big Macs. I'm keeping to my BRAT diet, however, which is recommended (bananas, rice, apples or applesauce, toast) with a bit of probiotic yogurt thrown in. Am sipping water all day and had a gatorade or two (but I really hate the stuff--reminds me of the colonoscopy a few years ago). I saw on the news last night--NBC, I think--that the outbreak of stomach "flu" is now widespread across the country, coupled with the seasonal flu. I was actually told by my doctor that it is better not to come in for fear of getting the seasonal flu on top of this one. What a year!
