Or hard ass chemical drugs. Don't care, I'm dying. This head cold started roughly 3am last night and by 6am this morning my head feels like it's going to explode. Itchy watery eyes, drippy useless nose, and I'm coughing up phlegm and it's so gross. I'm probably dying, no one has ever been this sick; worst cold in the world. Ever.

Any tips or suggestions would be great. I'm not above sucking off a hobo for magic beans so all ideas welcome.

My multivitamin has Zinc in it, hope that's enough. I've taken oil of oregano and echinacea in the past, but unsure if it did anything or just tasted aweful.

Nope not even close to enough Zn, try a product like Cold-eeze. Stay away from the nasal sprays as permanent loss of smell has occasionally been associated with them.

Your multivitamin has C but you need 1000 mg of that a day when treating a cold.

Perfect timing, I'm on my way to the pharmacy, thank you I'll look for it.

Chicken soup. All fresh ingredients' with a shitton of garlic, red pepper(as much as you can stand), fresh ginger, lemon zest and juice, parsley and onion. Use thighs, cook til the bones are soft and eat those too. I'm battling a cold too; if not for the soup I'd be dead. Liberal vino and hard liquor as supplements

That sounds delicious. Do I get a witch doctor to sacrifice the chicken; or would a supermarket be sufficient?

You are the witch doctor in this incantation, grasshopper :). BTW, if you have a severe sore throat, run it all through the blender including bones(lottsa calmag) and drink.

Throats fine atm, thank goodness for small miracles. I'm a useless sack of meat right now though, I need a soup hooker. Wonder if there's an app for that?
