I think I have the flu...I'm going to admit defeat and go to the doctor today. This is quite a departure from typical Leslie behavior in which I attempt all friendly advisments and google diagnosis and try to handle the situation myself.
I thought I'd jot down a few of the recommendations I've gotten from friends, colleagues, and random Christmas party attendants all of whom want me to feel better.
1. Green Tea: I've consumed more of this substance than I care to share. I waited patiently for my skin to clear, my hair to fluff out and my life to generally get more awesome. Alas, its' only tea - my throat still hurts, my hair still resembles a disco lion, and stall number 4 at work is tired of seeing..my lovely face. I'm more of a Sleepytime, Earl Grey, and Long Island tea girl myself.
2. Brandy (and Coke): It tasted pretty good, but other than laughing awkwardly over a tragedy and burping myself to sleep - I fail to see the medicinal value.
3. Emergen-C: Boo. Nothing.
4. Zicam: BOO! Nothing!
5. Dayquil: This seems to hold the coughs at bay but does nothing for the earache or the roller coaster of personal temperatures during the day.
6. Sleep: I have more of this going on then I care to admit. Going to bed at 6:30 is just not my style.
7. Water: Yuck. I'm sorry, but yuck. (I'm drinking this too..along with my non-working Emergen-C and green tea. )
8: Crackers: Please someone order me a pizza.
In conclusion, I am TRYING to not cough...and I'm trying lots of things...but sometimes you are just sick...and need to go get the Z-Pack and I've never had a Medical Doctor prescribe Green Tea.
