I once had a guy in a craft beer shop tell me hops are medicinal and a six pack is the best thing for a cold.

He may have been an alcoholic.

Get better dude.

Feel better soon. If you don't feel better soon, head to a doctor.

If you're running a fever, don't fall to the temptation of blankets! They'll make you sweat and heat you up more. Suffer through the chills... it sucks, but it's better in the long run.

i think you're supposed to do "warm but not hot." enough to not be cold as fuck but not so much that it'll heat you up.

BUT I'M NO WITCH DOCTOR

Oooh, nice. When I'm sickly I go with chamomile tea, honey, dark rum and Nyquil (that last part isn't mixed in, although I'm kinda curious how it would work out).

This sounds good.
I just got through bronchitis. Hideous. At least it weren't the pneumonee. Hydrocodone is strong as f but caused me some anxiety. Going up is fun; coming down, not so fun.

I started getting that weird scratchy sinus/throat feeling at work tonight. The one that says I'm going to wake up sick tomorrow. Tomorrow is a bad day for me to get sick.

I never get sick. Like, ever. It's pretty great. BUT a couple days ago my throat started getting scratchy. Then yesterday I was up all night hacking out my lungs. I think I might be on the upward swing of it, but still, fuck this sucks
