166.0. "Colds and Flus" by NHL::ARNO () Mon Dec 07 1987 13:05

    
    It's that time of the year when people seem so get alot 
    of Colds AND FLU'S.
    
    How do you handle it when you are sick?  Do you over
    eat?  Do you feel sometimes because you are sick
    you need to build your self up so you eat more?
    
    How about it if someone in your house is sick you
    you take care of them how do you handle that?
    
    
    I know I even get carried away with the cough drops..
    I know there are times when I don't need them I eat 
    them..
    
    It's not fun to be sick and I hope you all stay 
    well..  
    
    I have been lucky so far..

166.1	Break down the fat and build up your resistance.	SQM::AITEL	Helllllllp Mr. Wizard!	`Mon Dec 07 1987 14:29`	14
	Cough drops aside, when I'm sick my mouth tastes so disgusting that my main food ends up being tea and hot chocolate (nutrasweet), and I LOSE weight. Now that I've lost weight, changed my diet, made exercise a part of my life, and added vitamin C tablets (5 100's per day, taken throughout the day) to my diet, I have not gotten a severe cold since September (that's when I added the C). Used to be I had them almost all winter. I know I had one last week, back in my throat, but it didn't get bad - I coughed a little for two mornings and could tell I had a small cold, but I didn't use up my usual 2 boxes of kleenex. See what you've got to look forward to? Breeze

	Funny that I should come back after being out sick for a day and find this note in this conference! I'm usually good for a cold or two during the winter -- my wife teaches elementary school music, picks up all kinds of nasty stuff from her kiddos, and brings it home to me! YEECH! I would have to say, however, that I have the same reaction to a cold as Louise -- when I have one, especially if I've taken any medication, I don't feel like eating much of anything. However, if I were home sick due to some other kind of illness, I might be more inclined to nibble on whatever happens to be around the house... Paul
166.3	But candy makes me feel better! <sigh>	RSTS32::KASPER	Calm Down! It's Only 1's and 0's!	`Mon Dec 14 1987 11:56`	14
	Hi, all. I'm back from a week in sunny Los Angeles (for DECUS), but I brought something back with me -- a cold! It started with a sore throat Sunday night (a week ago), and is mostly gone. Being particularly aware of the diet issue last week, I noticed a definite tendancy to use the fact that I felt miserable as an excuse to console myself with food. When I have a fever, though, I lose interest in food, and live on juice and soda. Beverly
166.4	Bah humBUG...	NHL::ARNO		`Tue Dec 29 1987 09:25`	28
	BUG Off,,, I am saying this I was doing so well not catching any colds or BUGS for a long time.. What did I get a couple days before Christmas yep,, The BUG and it lasted for days.. Usually it last for 24 hours but this one just hung on.. It started Monday night and lasted until Saturday. Christmas my whole family was sick in bed.. My mother cooked a turkey and Vegs.. she and I took a few bits and no more. It's the first Holiday that I lost weight .. It wasn't the fun way.. I don't catch things very much but when I do I get it good.. Well last year we all were in Sunny California and this year didn't seem like Christmas at all!! Bah HumBUG,,, I hope the New Year will start off better ! I hope you are all well and had nice Holidays... Ann
