Hey There Dudes and Dudess's

Got a Friggin horrible Camel Cough at the moment and really got the f//king hump with it. :cold:

A gallant mate of mine, suggested to gargel with Whiskey but only have Jim Bean in the house, which he said fine use that, so I gargled and garled and garled and garled and was merry by lunchtime when IDB bought some food round for me, then caried on garling for the duration of the afternoon, needless to say am quite pissed and haven't had so much fun being ill for ages!!!!:2thumbsup:killingme

Unfortunately during the solo party with Jim and I, I have been tidying up contact lists for the Crown Rangers Motorbike Club I started, tying up looses ends that kind of stuff and fired out an up to date list with everyones details on, and had most of them back,:Oops: probably as I was seeing double and that combined with hiccups hasn't been very congusive for eloquent typing.......

Sobering up now with a mother of a headache,:angry:

So I wondered what medical remedies have you listened to and acted upon.

A quickly sobering up Woodybee..:wari::bye:

[=cJ=]

I seem to get offered concrete pills a fair bit...

[Blackshear]

You spelled 'fucking' wrong.

RE: Tricks?
Just eat some fruits, stay warm, rested and hydrated, I guess.

My medical advice won't help you with the ailment you have now, Woodybee....

but I do have the perfect cure for sea-sickness....

[CookMySock]

For colds, I drink mega water, electrolyte replacement drinks, and Neurofen. They turn into non-colds. On the mend, bash the cold with Overdrive (very powerful sports vitamin supplement) and watch them vanish pronto.

If I feel myself coming down with a cold, I usually can whack it hard with Overdrive and scare it off. Damn good shit that.

Avoid hangovers ... stay pissed.

Brandy
Makes you well when you are sick
and sick when you are well.

For upset tums - 2 shots brandy and one shot of port.
Works a treat.

[Mom]

one shot of port.
Works a treat.

I find port works a treat in all sorts of ways :o

[FJRider]

A nip of Whiskey a day cures most ailments ...
1. If this fails to work. DOUBLE the daily dose.
2. If problem continues ... Continue with doubles.
3. Continue with doses untill

a. Problem disappears
(or)
b. You stop caring about the problem.

[MIXONE]

Drink plenty of whiskey.
it doesn't cure your flu but you have the happiest germs in town!

[FJRider]

I find port works a treat in all sorts of ways :o

Any (good) Port in a storm huh ...!!!

sore throat - eat potato chips (crisps) and anything else 'pointy and sharp' - scraps away all the yucky stuff and makes you heal quicker.

Ha! I will always remember the tv programme "The secret dairy of Adrian Mole".... he was in hospital after having his tonsils out, and his father rocked up with a big packet of salt and vinegar chips for him.... classic!

[Genestho]

Nurofen, otrivin nose spray (sinus congestion!) and lots of water!
I also use Buccalen Burner which is supposed to prevents colds turning bacterial! And I have to say I've only had mild colds since I started using this, three monthly from autumn - spring! Only one minor cold this year (touch wood!!)

[ManDownUnder]

Before you have a hangover... drink FAR too much water just before you go to bed. It rehydrates, and wakes you nice and early for a pee... and a dose of painkillers... and the chance to drink a LOT more water.

Apple juice works well too

After the hangover. TELL NO-ONE. Painkillers left and right. Damage is done - you're pretty much fucked. Enjoy the ride.

[gwigs]

Wire brush and Detol cures everything;)

Thanks all,

Was actually meaning have any of you ever had any well meaning medical advice ?:rockon:

[steve_t]

Gee's Linctus aka pholcodeine linctus. The only cough syrup that actually does anything. Not sure if it's available over the counter at the pharmacy or if you need a prescription.
Cough should go away by itself eventually... these days a lot of coughs seem to be lasting "100 days" which SUX.
Everyone is right with the whole drink heaps of fluid and sleep heaps
