My Most Fervent Wishes

1. For the pain of my sore throat to diminish to the point that Chloraseptic will mask it.
2. For the coughing to slow down enough that a cough suppressant will let me sleep.
3. For the fever to break. (Better today: 99.4.)
4 - 99. More stuff about me me me.
100. World peace.

Apparently when I am sick I am very selfish.

you're allowed to be selfish when you're sick. i think it might be expected. but i don't think your wishes are selfish -- i want you to feel better, too!!!

*faxes you some throat coat tea and a snuggly blankie*

When you're sick, it's natural to be selfish. One must get better in order not to be selfish later.

I can't stand Chloroseptic - it tastes like the xylocaine used on the swabs at the dentist before getting a lidocaine injection, and doesn't work well on me, either.

*continuing the get-better vibes, and feeds virtual chicken soup* :-)

Hydrocodone! Ask your doctor, it works. Also tends to make one *SLEEP*. Prescription-only, since it's basically synthetic codeine (but works better).

Robitussin makes WONDERFUL little "cough gels" ... gel caps that are just as effective as the cough syrup, although they take a little longer to start working. Two gels are good for up to 8 hours. I've spent the past week-plus living on the things, and I think they're great.

If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything. And, if you're in charge, neither does anyone else. ;)

Robitusson comes in pills now. They are amazing because you don't gag when you take them like the liquid crap.

Feel better quick or I'll make you go swimming!

Sigh. When my throat hurts that bad, I have a hard time reading or concentrating even enough to, say, watch movies. I hope it breaks soon!
