First sign of the crud, I head over to my local Chinese restaurant and order a bowl of hot and sour soup. 4 or 5 stars. So spicy hot that I am soaked in sweat by the time I finish the bowl. Works for me almost every time.

My wife has me get that stuff too, really clears out everything.
When do we get to divide up Paden's stuff?
No cure, but you can help your body fight it with lots of vitamin C and liquids. Either juice or tablets & water. Someone else suggested one of the B vitamins. If the throat is involved, use lozenges containing zinc.
Geez, guys. Think of the alternative.
You'll feel better instantly.

Oh this is the best remedy yet, I would suggest you try this somewhere private. 😉
Unc, you could umm..clean out your whole system via: this magical colonoscopy prep.
ÛÏAt 5:00pm take 4 Dulcolax tablets with a glass of water
At 5:30pm drink 10oz bottle of Magnesium Citrate by mouth. May be chilled
At 6:00pm mix the entire 238g bottle of Miralax with 64oz of Gatorade in a pitcher. Shake well until the Miralax is dissolved. Drink an 8oz glass every 10-15 minutes until you have finished the solution.Û
Make sure you are close to a ÛÏfacilityÛ and have at least a six-pack of your favorite toilet tissue. :smarty:
Preferably not toilet tissue from Bill's 66 station.

"Today" is a relative term to someone that has been eating Mucinex tabs like breath mints and swilling Nyquil out of the bottle. I don't know what day it is. It's overcast so I really can't tell what time it is either.
Cough syrup and antihistamine psychosis has set in...I am all "slept" out...my only hope is that there might be a Humphrey Bogart Marathon on TCM.
I laid my 'advanced directive' out so the wife can find it just in case...phooey...:(
At least your OK Sooners had a good game last night against Auburn.
Guess just never caught on down there but first sign of the winter crudd and I stoke the sauna up to 130-140F and don't come out until I'm on the verge of passing out. Take an ice cold rinse (which feels surprisingly good as long as I don't have a heart attack), and chug a half gallon of ice cold water and hopefully make it as far as the bed before passing out. Feel like a new man in the morning every time, assuming I wake up, which so far I have.

More likely an anurism or bleeder stroke than heart attack. The sudden cooling spikes the blood pressure.

After all that I don't think I'd need to even be close. I could probably hit the toilet from the curb out front...;)

I wouldn't do it if it didn't work.

How would you be able to tell ??
Please don't mix alcohol and acetaminophen.

Amen. The combination killed a cousin.

Ran a fever for the first time last night (Day 8). low grade (99.7). Couldn't sleep I was up and down. Broke the fever around 3AM. I am now immune to Nyquil, Dayquil, psudofed, mucinex, nose-spray and Pepto. Woke up and realized I was a little delirious from the temps...I was trying to explain to my wife the paving apron line around the runway taxiway was keeping me from breathing...sounds crazy now, but made perfect sense last night.
Wife called the doctor (there's no way I can get in a car and go sit in a waiting room...even at the "doc-in-the-box") for anything that will give either of us some relief. After the temp I think my chest crud is breaking up. I have two busted blood vessels in each eye from coughing and probably a hernia. I was actually so weak last night I was contemplating just wettin' the bed instead of walking ALL that way to the john (20'). I'm so hoarse when I try and talk to the dogs they just twist their head one way and the other like I'm making screwy noises.
And the worse part is I have absolutely no appetite. I think that's what scared the wife into calling the doc...after twenty-five years she's NEVER seen me not eat.
If this crud wins I have instructed SWMBO to let you all know when the services will be....
Do you think some cooties are mixed up in the creeping crud?
Perhaps I should just hole up in my house with no human contact until this mess blows over this year.
Years ago I came down with the green flem flu from hell. Couldn't move, nearly incompacitated. Lived above a doctor's office at the time. Dragged myself into his office and he gave me a shot of what he said was vitamin B12 in the rump. It did the trick. Hope you feel better soon.

Everyone should see the sawbones once in a while.
You are like the medical equivalent of trying to survey in a township bounded on the southwest by the ocean, on the southeast by a Rancho, on the north by a navigable river. Good luck.
