How To Keep Yourself From Getting Sick Once You Feel It Coming On

Last night I could feel myself getting icky. You know that feeling, you don't feel good, but you don't feel sick. Then as the night moved on I found it harder to swallow. I found myself tired and I could feel drainage creeping down my throat. This morning I just feel blah! I know that I am getting sick. I can feel it, but I refuse to let it get me. So what do you do when you feel sickness coming on? Here is what I do.

Emergen-C

I live by this stuff when I feel the ick coming on. I don't know what it is? It could be the blast of Vitamin C I put in my body. Every two hours I take one and that seems to help. I prefer the raspberry because I cannot take orange flavoring. BLECK!

Sleep

I know sometimes you cannot get the sleep you need, but tonight I will find my pillow at a very early time and get some rest. If I let my body rest, it will heal itself.

Zinc

I had a friend hand me a zinc lozenge one time when I was getting sick. It tasted horrible, but I'm pretty sure it helped. Mixed with the vitamin c. I didn't get full on sick.
