When Your Body Gets Sick
What do you guys do when you’re so ill you can barely move? And I’m not just talking about headaches, I’m talking about some of the unpleasant ways your body has of de-toxing (i.e. vomiting)? Tuesday night I went through one such unpleasant de-toxing for a few hours, and I’m not usually the weak stomach type. It’s times like those when you realize how great it feels to feel alive and not so close to death.
I could barely keep water down, which was frustrating because by the end of it all I was so dehydrated and exhausted. Luckily my grandmother came around with an amazing remedy: flat Coke. Half a cup of it and I was fast asleep! The next day my meals consisted of plain mashed potatoes for lunch and bread and flat Coke for dinner. My stomach muscles are a bit sore today but I have my appetite back and have re-discovered my love for water and fruits. Yay for being healthier!
I admire the publish produced through a person and might look for comparable posts by you which might certainly allow us in one or even additional methods. Thanq
I’m so glad you’re feeling better. I’m like that right now – completely sick. I’m trying to figure out whether I’ll even be able to leave the house tomorrow. Yesterday I collapsed in bed for four hours – and I never do that. I feel so useless.
I’m with Katie…take pills and pass out! No, but honestly, I usually drink tons of Diet Coke (it makes me feel better for some reason), and curl up in bed with a fairytale – “Alice in Wonderland,” “Peter Pan,” or “The Little Prince.” Fairytales are par for the course whenever I’m sick – this time around I have “The Little Prince” by my side! :)

I usually have no choice but to collapse! Fairytales would be perfect, especially if they could be read out to me because when I’m ill I can’t focus my eyes on anything!
awww i hate hate being sick! i get things like indigestion and nausea a fair bit and flat soft drinks are awesome for it. and ginger beer! im such a sook, i draw all the curtains and lie in bed in the dark with absolute silence. and make little whimpering noises to get sympathy and cuddles from the boyfriend hehe

I do the same! Minus the boyfriend part, that would be sweet if he could be around :3
Hey Luana,
For stomach aches and weaknesses (esp stomach flus) I drink Gatorade. It really helps, I’ve told all my friends who have anything to do with the stomach to drink it and they all agree it makes them feel better. My doctor told me this tip when I was a kid (always had stomach issues) and I’ve been doing it since!
Hope you get better :(

Thanks so much! I never really thought of it, but it makes sense now that I think about it as it’s like a flat soda and it’s an energy drink.
You poor thing! I get sick quite often :-( I take pills and hope to pass out.. Not the best advice…

Hehe! If it’s a minor headache pills work fine for me too.
