THE WAR ON GERMS

This shit ain't taken me alive.

I have zinc lozenges, NyQuil, pseudoephedrine (the real deal), Ricolas, and green tea.

There is no way in hell I'm catching the flu or any semblance of a cold. No sir. This sore throat and stuffy nose? If it's there in the morning it better be prepared for some serious biological warfare.

WOOP WOOP WOOP! GO PRODIGY REFERENCES! 
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

INVADERS MUST DIE!

Note: medicating symptoms within the first 24 hours actually extends the length of the illness, because the symptoms are biological immunoresponses to infection. When you lower the symptoms you lower the body's ability to fight the disease. Therefore, within the first day of feeling sick, its best to refrain from nyquil, etc. There are very few medications you can take that are actually antiviral, and you can't purchase any of those over the counter.

Not that you should listen to me, since I am sick. Again. The second time this semester.

I was told the opposite when it comes to homeopathic medicines which I swear by.  Things like NyQuil are really just analgesics anyway and mask the symptoms temporarily. (I more or less took it so I could sleep good, because I don't sleep when I'm sick, and I also had a fever that needed reducing.)

However, another thing to remember for people that may be feeling kinda sick this year too, is that zinc and Airborne won't do shit for influenza, only rhinovirus (colds).  And echinacea is only preventative. Once you're symptomatic, there's not really anything it will do (but it won't hurt either.)

I'm off today, so basically I'll be popping a Cold-Eeze every 3 hours, drinking tea and water, and orange juice. If my throat gets sore, I'll have a Ricola in between Cold-Eeze. But I also have a lot of shit to do, so I can't lay around. Which I personally feel is the worst thing you can do when you're sick anyway.

Suu, do you know what it might be?

Did anybody here get sick from the pig flu vaccine?  (Maybe I should ask who got the vaccine.  I told them I didn't want or need it, but it wasn't my choice...)  Many people here said they got ickiness from it.  I, as usual, was fine.

I got some sinusy thing, AND I mangled my legs at the gym last night.  On the treadmill.  I was distracted by an amazing ass on the eliptical ahead of me, my legs got tangled up, and I shot off the back of the treadmill at 4.2 MPH, in a heap.

I don't give a fuck what it is, because it's not about to be around long enough to tell the tale. I'm already feeling 75% better than I did yesterday.

I didn't get the vaccine or any flu immunization because I don't want to pay to be injected with a live portion of the influenza virus in hopes it doesn't make me sick. I have faith in my immune system and the supplements I'm taking to blow this shit out of my system effectively. The best vaccination is exposure and then knowing how to care for it. Like Chicken Pox. I've survived Scarlet Fever, Mononucleosis and a fucking E. Coli infection, no shitty little cold or flu is going to take me alive.

However, if it IS the pig pox, and my roommates catch it, I will probably laugh. Hard.

I spent about 2.5 hours on the eliptical waiting on my ride to finish working out and bullshitting.  My legs did not want to work anymore.  There was some guy behind me for a while.  I am happy to know you are on another continent, otherwise I might be worried about you violating my man ass.
