ways of dealing with being ill

[-:Undertaker:-]

anyone have a routine when they're sick that they like to follow

i have a few

- force myself to get one or two showers a day
- make myself even hotter if i've got a temperature (fever)
- drink whisky (drinking it now) if my throat etc feels a bit iffy
- sleep never stay awake through it
- stay upbeat and don't get down about it

mope around being really sad USUALLY x

i try not to take tablets because i dont think it'll be good in the long run and i'd rather my body get over it! usually i will do a bit of exercise too and plenty of rest and keep hydrated

i just deal with it and have a lot of paracetmol and ibruprofen even though i know they do not help me

lucozade helps sometimes

I usually just sleep

I don't get illness much. Actually don't remember the last time I was unwell. If I have pain though (Tooth pain etc.) I tell myself that it's not actually in the body part that hurts but it's in the one that doesn't hurt. An example would be if I cut my arm or burned it on the cooker I would tell myself I'm hurting in the other arm. It sounds odd but it distracts me from the pain.

I just try and get on with my day. If I'm really bad then obviously I'll stay home and sleep.

Just lie in bed and sleep! For colds flu tablets, strepsils and vicks!!

I deal with it first and foremost

I also have lots of ginger tea if I have a sore throat. Have paracetamol if I'm really concerned that I'm developing a fever because my immune system is horrendous and I'm really sick when I'm sick.

i also try drinking a lot of water and turn into a big baby when my mum is there to look after me. Otherwise I'm great at dealing with it and dying in peace.
