sickA frustrating pattern I find myself prone to: getting sick at the start of the school year. I usually assign my early symptoms to allergies, and I'm quite properly sick before I take appropriate action.
Trying to break the pattern here- I'm admitting that I'm properly ill with some form of cold and am aggressively pre-medicating with turkey and rlce soup, caffiene, and mostly just bracing for it; these illnesses usually have me in bad shape for at least two weeks.
Advice for minimizing impact and/or prayers/magic religion dependent, of course) are quite welcome...
Uh...more seriously, decongestants, adequate bed rest, vitamin C, anti-oxidants, and various lozenges/honey teas/whatever-soothes-your-throat are the best advice I can give.
Anyway, I hope you feel better and don't have to go through two weeks of miserable illness. I really don't want you to get under the weather like I have been this past week. Its not fun. My best wishes for your continued health! May you be much more fortunate that I or several of the people in my chapter (various illnesses) have been!
Advice: Just keep getting sleep and don't be foolish with your diet. You probably don't need me to say that though...
I almost ended up catching something but aggressive intake of 200-400% the recommended daily amount of vitamin C seems to have done quite well at heading it off. I hope you're as fortunate.
I hope whatever you're catching goes away soon. Before it really starts would be best. ,'P
On to the next bottle of juice...
There's also the application of sufficient force of will to stave off sickness, which actually seems to work rather well in my case. Force of will bolsters the immune system...
PS, I do it too.

Turkey and rIce soup is definitely a good way to go. It has much of what your body needs now: liquid (water), a little protein, a little veggies, hot (to help clear out your throat & nasal passages), tryptophan (to make you sleepy).
