Hey all, just wondering if anyone has any ideas on feeling better

I have the flu and a temperature of 40 degrees (thats the same temperature as malaria sufferers), gonna be out of action for a while, spent the last two days on the couch....not as good as it sounds. How can I keep myself from dying of boredom?

Hope you're all well, karma to suggestions that will help me.

Regards,

I'm sick too. Or, ill or whatever. Do what I do and play KOTOR for extended periods of time!

With the flu you just want to stay as hydrated as you can.  Drink water until you have to go to the bathroom ever fifteen minutes, and then drink some more.

Fevers dehydrate you like you wouldn't believe.  Monitor your sodium intake, take vitamins, and maintain a high intake of vitamin C especially.  Oranges and strawberries are the best for C intake.  And don't worry about overdoing it, vitamin C is water-soluble, so whatever your body doesn't use, you'll just rid yourself of when you're going to the bathroom every fifteen minutes.

So I'm not the only one sick.

If the couch is in front of a TV, maybe watch that?

Otherwise, read a book.

That would be one big ass wank...

I have lots of tips:

Find something that amuses you and do it lots, find something that doesn't amuse you and forces yourself to get better to stop yourself from doing aforementioned thing...  Do not watch daytime TV, although highly shit it is also highly addictive.  Watch lotsa movies.

Get well soon.

Add a pile of random chicks (that you will never see) on msn/aim/icq and flirt your head off.
good way to learn how different gals think and act to certain things.
or
read a book.

Smoke weed. It cures the vomiting.

Drink lots of water but don't go overboard, you don't want to fuck up your sodium levels. Also get your Vitamin C as TMo suggested.

Overall just watch movies, play BF2, sleep, and drink water. Have someone nearby, or a phone on hand, incase you start feeling really shitty and need to go to the doctor.

I had a cold/flu and I got over it pretty much today. Had finals at school this week though, it sucked.

Anyway, when I get a cold/flu, I tend to grab a book and sit on my bed and read. Either that or sit in front of the PC with a blanket around my body.

As bad as this sounds, I do recommend some laxative. It'll flush out your system entirely and then you should start to take a LOT of water.

Just like a reformat on a computer, it's good to flush/fast yourself for a day or two. It keeps the body in good shape!

I'm sick too, but not so sick that I can't do whatever I want.

Just sick enough to take a day off school

But yeah... I read a book, Formatted *2* PCs (True Facts) and am currently experimenting with sandwiches, to see what crazy combo's I can make up that actually taste good.

It's Kikckass!
