I've been suffering with the flu over the last week, and mentally I've compiled a list of things to do and not do while you're sick with this annoying disease.
Things to do!
1) Drink a lot.
2) Unless you're feeling nauseous, keep eating. You won't feel how hungry you are up front, and it will simply add to your symptoms.
3) Stay comfy
4) If you feel that you need heat, grab a blanket and loosely wrap yourself up in it.
5)Once you're done drinking a lot... Drink some more (And I mean water or juice, ya boozers)
Now what NOT to do!
1) Do not veg for an entire 2 days. Make sure you're getting up and waddling around every once in a while. It's amazing how much legs can deteriorate with no real excersize
2) Do not sit in front of a fire. Believe me, it feels nice at first, but then you can't tell if you're feverish or just hot. Or you become both, which is no fun.
3) Do not sleep in a different bedroom than your own. If you're running a bad fever, it will merely confuse you and ruin your night of what little rest you're getting.
4) If you love your family and friends, don't stay near them for too long.
5) Do not watch CSI while under with the flu. Believe me, it screws with your mind.
Given that, I must admit that I'm slowly getting over this blasted Flu. I merely have some sniffles and coughs left, and some slight dizziness.
