Flu helper recipe

I can't believe it is going to be February.  I have been sick for more of January than I have been well.  I am trying to keep a good attitude....boy is it hard.

I had the real bad flu during Christmas and continued into the new year and beyond about 3 weeks all together.  I did find a few things that I thought I would share with you that may help if you get this mess.

1. If you are having the nausea try ginger root pills.  I try to take them everyday in the winter to ward off the flu and I didn't get started early enough this year.  I did find that they really help keep the nausea at bay.

2. vinegar and honey...I had a sore throat with the first round and nothing worked till I started this.  1-T honey 1-T vinegar just mix it up real good and swig it down.  I use mother vinegar.

3. REST..REST...REST the more I tried to get done the worse I got.  I would have a spell where I was feeling good so I would do laundry or clean and I would end up with a fever and barely able to breath.  So as I got better I would work for a little while and then rest and gradually add things to my day.  I finally was able to work for a whole day and then a week.

Now I blame my husband for this cold I have today since he had it last week and I ended up with it on Thursday.  Today was the worst but I think I will be back on the mend tomorrow...sunshine will help the best I think....xxoo everyone.  Lynda
