I woke up with a horrible cold this morning, my nose was blocked and I could feel I had to blow out so much mucous.

I'm now wrapped in a blanket, wearing jeans, long sleeve top, socks and 2 jumpers.
I'm cold, I'm sweaty and p*ssed off.

What's worse than this is the fact that I have a list of important errands to do over the week, and I have a party on Friday that I probably can't attend anymore.

My head is killing me, mum refuses to buy Cold & Flu stuff, apparently it just masks up how you're feeling and doesn't actually help. :angry:

So the plan for today I guess is to set myself up in the lounge room with blanket, pillow, harddrives with terabytes of stuff to watch and heater running.

Going to either watch House season 6, Smallville season 7(or 8 I forgot what I'm up to) or Supernatural's latest season, going to be a crappy day..
 
Supernatural is badass I watch it whenever I can on TNT. Anyways drink a of fluid and if you can go for a jog or something. The more fluid you lose the faster the cold comes out of your system.
 
Drink lots of water, not just fluid. Water by far is the best drink for anybody, at any point & time. Soda is really terrible, but this isn't health class.

Be sure to get bed rest, and you really should convince your mom to get you some type of medicine. Just because it 'masks it up' doesn't mean it isn't useful. I bet she would get some for herself if she felt bad. Get some Mucinex at least, to clear up all that mucus.

Best of luck!

How do I know this? Just getting over a cold. But I have asthma, so I still have a cough. :L
 
Hope you get well man
I feel for you man When ever I make these threads kids dont give 2 shits about them
But I see where your comeing from

Supernatural was a good season your going to like it so It shouldn't be that bad of a day for you
Get better

Thanks Guys.

Yeah she gave me Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Zinc.

Erh.. Jogging? My body feels fatigued as much as it does after a 2h session at the gym.

Also I seem to be quite clumsy, which is quite frustrating.

Not to mention I'm misspelling a series of words typing on RuneGear, thank god for the spell check line.

Off the computer to be a bum for a day. :sleep:
 
Don't do any very strenuous activities, bed rest is your best weapon against the cold. Stay inside and on the computer. I slept A LOT during my cold.
 
I heard positive attitude is the biggest cure to anything.
 
Yeah I slept for 12 hours before, it was so hard to get my sleeping pattern in order and was just ruined in one night.

I would stay on computer but it's colder here and I've have to turn on central heating, also our usage is very low atm so I can't do much internet activity.

One thing I'm going to do my best to avoid is when you blow your nose to much little scabs under your nose appear and they become worse than the cold itself.

I had a cold when I was working (think it was from touching money 12 hours a day), and I kept running out of tissues so I had to keep going to the bathroom and grabbing rough toilet paper.

Incredible pain, you can't move your nostril whatsoever or else the scabs rip.

[EDIT] How can one be positive with a cold? Mum would walk in and I'm smiling and be like wtf is wrong with you Joel.
 
Be positive by doing things that make you happy. For example, one time when I had a fever I came up with this idea. I woke up and said to myself "FUCK IT". I jumped on my bike (favorite hobby) and went for a 4 hour offroad bike ride on hardcore terrain. The next day I felt great and my symtoms were gone.
 

My body is in a lot of pain right now, most of my hobbies involve me leaving the house, strenuous activities.
 

believe it or not but sores and unkown caused pains can be easily treated by keeping your body in motion (aka. be active.)
 

That's probably the one thing I'm not doing at the moment, I'm just wrapped up in in a blanket in front of the heater watching tv.
 
Wash your hands and you don't get sick. Seriously, I havn't been sick forever.
Get better though
 
I hope you feel better soon I hate being ill.
 
Thanks guys, yeah I've been washing my hands with soap on a regular as basis now.

I think the worst part is that all I can do is sit around and take tablets and just wait till it goes away.
