You poor thing! I cannot BELIEVE everyhting you are going through right now!
I don't know if you still have my #...I'll have to e-mail it to you again.
Ok, where to start: (these are my suggestions...take what you like and leave the rest!)
Forget your dumbo doco! Take the vitmain C. Take astragalus (helps with pain) and take echinacea (builds immunity). I would also take vitamin B in high doses and a regular multivitamin. If you can afford all of this, go for it!Just ask to make sure it won't interact with anything else you take. Thakn G-d I have not gotten a REAL cold in MONTHS (sooo rare for me) because of the vitmains and supplements. My fam is NOT into the naturopathic way of life--but they swear by echinacea.
We're going to get you through this *hugs*
This is what I do when I'm sick or hubby comes home sick and I am trying not to get what he has: Drink as much as humanly possible. Tea, soup (chicken soup is great or whatever you have in the house), water...lots of good water, stay away from sugar (it's not goood for the immune system and depletes vitamin absorption...so I've read...I'm not a doc no way...just telling you what I've read). I also RELAX and meditate. Just close my eyes and picture beautiful scenery (picture things that make you happy! I like scenery..). Do gentle stretches. Take a long hot bath/shower. If your head hurts, use a damp cloth. When we are relaxed it helps our immune system cope better (not easy...I know!) *hugs* Personally, I limit my diet during these times as much as possible to soups, tea, water, a bit of fruit, and rice (I don't eat applesauce but if I did I would...same with bananas).
This might sound strange...and like I said take it or leave it...but I'm just offering the best advice I can give for one of my best fibro pals! *hugs*
