Recently there's been a few ~sickies~ around here, and flu season is just around the corner, so thought this might be a good time to ask....


When you feel like something is coming on what do you do?


Do you take it easy when you're sick or do you push the limits?


What is your *thing to do* when home sick?


Do you/Will you get a flu shot?

You may have guessed that another reason I asked this question is because I had been feeling like I was coming down with something. It finally hit me hard this morning:


When you feel like something is coming on what do you do?
Normally just take it easier than normal, drink more water, make sure I get enough sleep and have some chicken noodle soup.


Do you take it easy when you're sick or do you push the limits?
I'm not good at taking it easy. I will usually push it to the limits, like go on into work anyway....and most of the time end up taking a half day that day. (This morning I decided not to push it and call in right away. I figured I would be doing nobody any favors by being there.)


What is your *thing to do* when home sick?
Sleep most of the time. Watch mind-less TV if I'm up. Take Thera-Flu.


Do you/Will you get a flu shot?
Like Darla I've never had one. Probably not this year either. Not really quite sure why I don't want to get one, but know I don't ;-)

Do you take it easy when you're sick or do you push the limits? Depends on how I feel. I try to get extra rest but if I'm in the mood I go ahead and get in a workout.


What is your *thing to do* when home sick? Read and watch movies


Do you/Will you get a flu shot? Nope

I guess it depends. i.e. if I'm starting to cough and sniffle, I'll determine if it's allergies or a cold. If it's a cold, I start on the vitamin C. If I'm just lethargic and grouchy, lol, I'll rest all day on the weekend.

I tend to take it easy. K tends to push himself and then I see him crash and burn for days (even if they are 5

Usually if I feel anything coming on I'll take a dose of Nyquil, and then have a cup of Neo-Citrin (similar to Thera-flu).

Do you/Will you get a flu shot? I hope so... They normally give them out at work, since we have nurses on our staff. Last year I was just never around at the right time and I ended up being sicker last winter than I had been in the 3 previous years of getting the shots.

- Try to eat more fruits & veggies

Do you take it easy when you're sick or do you push the limits?

- Push to the limit and then give in and rest when I can't take it any longer

What is your *thing to do* when home sick?

- Watch junk TV (usually the various "judge" shows)

Do you/Will you get a flu shot?

- Yes and Yes. I've coordinated the flu shot program at work for the past 3 years and have gotten it the past 2. Will get it again next Wednesday when the nurse comes out! And my kids have always gotten it since they were born premature the pediatrician recommended it.
