Inspired by the illness of Dave and other members of the forum who haven't felt top notch the past few days.

 

For me I spend alot of time just laying in bed. I find that even watching television or listening to music is just way too hard on the eyes and ears. I guess it depends on how sick I am. The past couple days though I've watched almost a whole season of Seinfeld as I just couldn't get the energy to go anywhere else.

 

I actually became a Coldplay fan because of a really bad flu (the sickest I've ever been in my life actually). Before it was too bad I watched the 2003 live dvd because they had shown it on CBC a few nights earlier. I watched it a few times and loved it. But then I got so sick that I just pretty much slept for 24 hours a day. I went down to under 100 pounds, which was disgusting and scary.

 

 

What about cravings? I always get a huge craving for a sub from Subway even though I know I can't eat it!

 

And another thing, mom always gives me ginger ale when I am sick. So that drink is pretty much ruined for me. Anytime I drink it outside of being sick, I am just reminded of being sick.

 

-the end

Since this is the first time I have been sick in 8-or so years, I can't remember what I did the last time, but this time I have been indoors, laying in bed/laying on the sofa watching telly.

I just lay in bed and just if I don't feel too bad I watch tv or listen some music

 

and about cravings... I always feel like eating icecream or hamburgers when I'm sick :sick:

Eurgh I am sick too, feels like that vomitting illness that's going round. I watch TV and feel sorry for myself.

I was sick... the same as you ^ in christmas eve :sick:

When I'm sick I drink tons of tea and just watch television. I always lose my appetite and end up losing a ton of weight .. :sick:

Sit in the wheelie-bin for a week.

i just sleeeep. And try to keep myself entertained when i'm awake. And try to eat something which isn't easy.

 

But keeping myself entertained involves:

-reading

-watching tv/movies

erm, more sleeping

I just relax, go on the computer and watch TV. Read. Make french toast. Pretty much everything I did yesterday! :P

Sit in the wheelie-bin for a week.

 

I would have done, but our bin is nearly full due to the stupid fortnightly collection.

i watched a huge stack of DVDs when i was sick last august. most of them were kiddie movies, though, or things that werent so complicated so i could concentrate.

 

i was craving pizza hut pizza...which i could have eaten if my throat hadnt closed up. i was literally starving for 6 days because i couldnt swallow anything more than popsicles. that was the worst.

 

reading puts me over the edge, but TV is the best!

I found laying on the sofa yesterday when watching telly was very relaxing, although I kept drifting in and out of sleep though, meant I couldn't watch anything meaningful on the telly

Sleep if I'm really really bad, spend hours playing computer games otherwise.

i pretty much drink a lot of tea and get a lot of rest..

I would have done, but our bin is nearly full due to the stupid fortnightly collection.

do you recycle as well?

i rest. that's all :P

I drink lemonade because i get all the fluids back into my body!:D

Then I sleep lots, sometimes a whole day, and maybe listen to a bit of music.

do you recycle as well?

 

Yep, it's a case of we have to recycle, or get the TVBC environmentally health inspectors around.

WTF. I am sick too. Like can't kick it at all.

Ever since my wisdom teeth were out, then came a sore throat, sneezing, nose all runny and even lost my voice.

 

So really all I've been doing is complaining and sitting around the house doing nothing. I have antibiotics but don't feel like taking them. Must let my body fight this off. ahhhhhhhhh.

When I'm sick, it's when i don't digest something. As a result i throw up the whole day, going to the toilet and coming back to the sofa. It's a real nightmare. The following morning I'm fine but exhausted until i eat a normal meal to get some strenght. Believe me or not it's true and I can't help it.:(

so that's why you said you were doing nothing whilst i saw at work :P

all depends on the extent & type of sickness. last sick, was more pain than feeling ill so slep for most of the day.

when I had flu it varied day to day, sometimes i slept, others I read, watched tv, or played on the computer.

i find i have a really short attention span when i'm not feeling so well, so flit around from thing to thing not really doing much of anything

I drink lemonade because i get all the fluids back into my body!:D

is that an aussie ting to drink lemonade when you're ill?

because my parents make me do it too

=/

 

wellllll im allllllllllllllways ill

my immune system is sucky

i barely take any meds, but i get over it still, BUT IT ALWAYS COME BACK??

ive been ill 8-10 times in 07

hateeee it

 

 

when i am ill

i go on with life normally, if it isnt too bad, because i havent a choice

 

if its really bad, id stay home, and sleep in, go on the computer(but im always on the computer anyway, i live a sad life), and have a hot meal, if im hungry

shower and repeat

no tv because our cable got cut :(

I just bought these.

 

Immune boosters or something.

If anything they are certainly yummy!

last time I was ill was in november last year and I had that nasty stomach flu, I had to spend the day in bed as I just didn't have any energy whatsoever. I should have had a few days in bed because it took me about 4 days even start getting back to normal again.
