My daughter is extremely ill with it and has been in the hospital twice. She is not out of the woods. Of course, has she ever paid attention to me with regard to staying healthy and natural healing? Of course not. Well, water under the bridge. Needless to say, we are sending her supplements ASAP.

, first of all, prayers to your daughter.

I think I am getting over the H1N1 flu, too. Went to bed early Monday so I could work early on Tuesday. I even got up a couple times during the night to drink some water with honey, as this usually helps me sleep.

I didn't sleep well, and when I woke up, my left leg, which has lymphedema but otherwise asymptomatic, felt like it was bruised very badly. The lymph node in the groin had a hard ball and is tender.

I got up early and went to my job (free-lance court reporter). I had to do a City Hall meeting for three hours, and I was seriously thinking of stopping the whole meeting and getting a replacement.

My replacement came after three hours, and I hobbled across the street. I stopped and got some soup to go and went home. Ate half the soup and went to sleep basically for the rest of the day = 12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. with a two-hour period of staying up, then back to bed. I was up occasionally trying to drink some water and feeling a big urge to pee.

That night, I slept the whole night, waking up every hour, looking at the clock, staying in bed 'til morning. I didn't have to work the next day, but I stayed in bed the whole day. That was yesterday, Wednesday.

So after sleeping half a day, all night, all day, all night, today I felt like I could go to a job. I had a fever of 103 at one point.

I'm 48 and get crazy hot flashes which never make sense anyway. When I got the chills, it was a feeling I haven't had for a very long time but one that made a bit of sense, unlike hot flashes. I actually felt comforted to be able to have lots of blankets. My four Pugs were near me but not right on top of me and were very understanding when I told them not to put their paws on me.

I did take some Advil to take away body pain, even though I'm learning about homeopathy and the body's ability to gain immunity and get stronger and get a real cure. Homeopathic practitioners welcome symptoms and don't try to suppress them. I'm glad I have a novice understanding of the body's innate ability to heal. It's like the more you take a medication to deal with germs or viruses, the less the body's immune system will do its job, because it doesn't have to.

Cold medicine does nothing to cure the cold, but it actually drags it out longer than necessary. Did you research the Zithromax? I'm skeptical of drugs, as they tend to suppress and don't allow us to resolve the problem and get much needed natural immunity.

Thanks for reading, if you made it this far.
