What would be your response to getting the flu? Going to the ER? Calling your doctor? Getting Tamiflu from your doctor by phone order? Staying home and suffering?

What would you do if you think it is the real deal?

Stock up on pedialyte, theraflu, tea, orange juice, kleenex, hand sanitizer, and chicken noodle soup. Then hop into bed, sweat it out, and try not to infect others around me. Only reason I would go to the hospital is if I got really dehydrated

I lay in bed moping and listening to music. Preferably with a big bowl of soup and Jello.

Lemon ginger ecanaaa....? Yeah that one word. They make a juice I buy from a natural store. It kicks any bug straight out of my body. Love that shit

Stay home, rest, drink plenty of fluids, take OTC meds for headaches / fevers / stuffiness... typical palliative care.

I don't have health insurance so most of the time I just suck it up and take NyQuil and sleep it off. The last time I got really sick was December. I had a stomach virus that I couldn't get over and ended up passing out in the bathroom (its like a locker room since I live in the dorms) and no one found me for about four hours so I won't be doing that again. From now on I tell my bf and have him make sure I get enough fluids and that my temp doesn't go up too high. He's such a sweetie.

I usually stay in bed and keep warm and comfortable and drink lots of water. I also like to take cold F/x to help me get over it more quickly.

I usually just stay home unless it get's worse.
I drink lots of tea with honey, nothing cold, nothing with ice in it, no milk, no chocolate (avoid things that cause phlegm), boiled water with lemon and honey, I use Kwan Loon Oil to rub my chest and neck and temples to help with breathing and coughing and I sleep a hell of a lot. I mostly eat a crap ton of soup with crackers if my throat can handle the crackers.
