I apparently caught this stupid summer flu... does anyone have a remedy for it? Symptoms are running nose, headache, tiredness and allover body ache... Tylenol is not available in this country.

Please help me get well again... *sniff*

NyQuil.

NyQuil? What's that?

NyQuil cures consciousness.

Uh, generally, it's called "allergies" or something like that. I'm not too sure. /sarcasam :P

Don't forget the worst symptom of all... driving backwards at 100 kph!

Take 2000mg of Vitamen C (at least) and a mulit-vitamen. Sleep for a long time (just lay there if you can't sleep). Drink water.

I have it too.

Couldn't sleep last night. That is, until NyQuil. I still feel crappy though. My ears feel plugged and my nose is runny.

Bleh

Um, I believe the body can only absorb so much Vitamin C. Taking 2000mg is like smoking an entire bag of grass in one sitting: it’s a total waste. Besides, a general rule to life is that anything in excess is unhealthy.

Of course, I could be wrong. Please understand the difficulty in taking vitamin advice from someone who doesn't know how to spell vitamin.

You need to know if its a self respecting flu. If it is just keep pouring Jack Daniles into your body. You get enough of that in your system and no self respecting germ is going to stick around.

If its not then the JD may make it happy and it will not torment you as much.

I think we all agree we need the story behind that.
