Oh everybody, I am so sick. I came home from work and felt a little under the weather. Laid down with Clark for some Clark and meowmy time and woke up with a terrible sore throat, runny nose and a fever and the sniffles. Any white light that anyone wants to send this way so that I feel better in the morning as I have to work, would be appreciated!

Sounds kinda like my cold started a couple of weeks ago, although I didn't have any fever, I don't think. I started right away with Zicam---still had all the symptoms but it only lasted for a week and it was all over. They usually say a cold is a week coming, and week on, and a week going, but that Zicam has always worked for me.
Hope you feel better soon--lots of rest and fluid (and kitty nurses).

{{{{Terri}}}} It could be that it isn't a cold but rather a viral infection. Lots of rest, liquids and gargle with hot salt water with two aspirin dissolved in it at least every three hours. If you can, stay home from work tomorrow. You need to get well and could end up doing nothing more than infecting everyone else.

Terri...I'm sorry to hear your sick. Whenever I ever had a sore throat (I still have my tonsils) I would wrap my neck with a scarf when I went to bed. It was amazing that every time I did, I woke in the morning with no sore throat & felt much better. If you haven't tried it, It's worth a shot.
I'm steeping a nice cup of tea to unwind & I would love to set sail a cup to you. Hope your feeling lots better tomorrow morning. {{{HUGS}}} -

Terri!!!! No, I just saw this thread. I hope you are feeling better this a.m. Tea and honey, and TBLSpoons of honey, to soothe that throat! Keep your throat moist too, not to hot water and hot to cold water. {{Terri}}

Hi WWM! I feel better, but can't talk very well. I still have a sore throat and sound rather "croaky". When I got to work and started to talk to my boss (the owner of the company) he said "Go HOME! We'd rather have one sicky than three" (meaing my staff LOL) So here I am being waited on my my sweet hubby. He has already made me a BIG glass of cranberry juice and a bowl of soup and covered me up with a throw and the babies are cuddle here. Thank God that we have a big chair in our office at home! LOL

Don't forget to gargle, Terri. You will be amazed at how much better it will make your throat feel. And hot tea with lots of honey and lemon.

I just asked John to make me some tea with honey! yummmm! I only get a cold once a year, but it's always a doozy! Our sons loved it. I had to "yell" at them by writing on a pad of paper.

Terri, gargle with warm salty water several times a day, it will help ease the sore throat. Eat well and look after yourself.

An update!
I've taken everyone's advise and have taken cold medicine and drinking A LOT of tea with lemon and honey and have been cuddling with the fur babies and having John take care of me. My head is still stopped up and I sound terrible (ask CM or 2b! I talked to them and both thought I sounded awful) John and I are watching scary movies on tv and I'm going to head to bed pretty soon. I really wish I felt better. My throat hurts so bad and I'm coughing something awful! More white light, please?

Poor thing! My mom had that a couple of weeks ago. She was in the bed for a few days! Hope you get to feeling better soon!

'nother update!
I tried some of the Zicam (sp), but it doesn't seem to be working very well for me. I'm coughing alot and because of that didn't sleep well. So tired, and throat is still very scratchy and feel yucky.
