Title: Any secret remedies? Post by: snoopy1239 on October 13, 2006, 04:16:11 PM I'm not feeling tippety top at the moment. I think I've got man flu, I might even have caught a belated bird flu or one of those new ones, panda flu or something. But either way, I've got a cough, sore throat, bunged up nose and an aching noggin. I also feel pretty whacked, no energy whatsoever.
Normally, I wouldn't be that bovved, I'd take some cough medicine or something and just ride it out, but this week is different. As you all know, tomorrow is the Grand Prix final, and due to updating many of the live events, this is in fact my biggest ever live comp. I'm a little bit disappointed that it looks as though I'll be going into my biggest ever comp with these symptons, as I don't get too many opportunites to play for the big bucks and I really want to be on top of my game, not worrying about splurting my guts over the table. Therefore, I was wondering, on the off chance, if anyone knew of some old wives tales or secret remedies that could aid my current state within the 24 hour period before my afternoon kick-off. Any pearls of wisdom would be much appreciated. Title: Re: Any secret remedies?

And telling the cops that you were just looking for George Michael so you could get his autograph is a poor excuse !!

Anything that needs to be done, do it later. Time to chill and get better. ooh, and drink a litre of Tropicana Title: Re: Any secret remedies? Post by: RED-DOG on October 13, 2006, 04:26:10 PM Try asking tikay, he feels like that when he's well.

Title: Re: Any secret remedies? Post by: mikkyT on October 13, 2006, 04:31:27 PM Bed, Ibroprofen and paracetamol (you can take them both together safely, profen stops inflamations and aching limbs whilst the paracetamol and profen together will numb your pains). Profen does not contain paracetamol. Don't do this too often however as prolonged use does have a temporary effect on the liver.
BTW I'm not a doctor. Like the packets say, seek medical advice. But I know that works for me. Along with chicken soup and bread cut into little quarters, and a nice warm duvet, plump cushion and a doseage of kids TV. If you are feeling like this still tomorrow then I'd advice a heavy doseage of pro-plus alongside your doseage of Ibruprofen and Paracetamol. You will feel a rush for a few hours which will counter your flu effects. And avoid alcohol for the duration unless you want to go really dolally (actually its jolly good fun). Drink plenty of water too. Title: Re: Any secret remedies? Post by: matt674 on October 13, 2006, 04:31:37 PM Rest and relaxation. Don't play online for a bit.

Post by: Redbull on October 13, 2006, 04:32:05 PM No magic cure I'm afraid. What I usually do is have some Nightnurse or something else that makes you drowsy and sleep for like 20 hours. The body seems to be more efficient at recovering when you're asleep.
Hope you feel better for the tourney mate. Title: Re: Any secret remedies? Post by: bolt pp on October 13, 2006, 04:33:30 PM I like to take a combination of nightnurse, sudafed, paracetomol and nytol, but thats just a friday night out, I dont know what to suggest for a cold!

Tomorrow take something like Day Nurse which does not have a ;goodluck;nything which will make you sleepy.

Post by: snoopy1239 on October 13, 2006, 07:05:17 PM thx for all the advice, I've purchased some DayNurse, hopefully that'll do the trick. I've also ordered a Night Nurse, but that something entirely different.
I tend to get better as the day goes on, so hopefully, if I see out the first few levels, I'll be okay. You never know, I might have recovered by then, fingers crossed. Title: Re: Any secret remedies? Post by: thetank on October 13, 2006, 07:21:34 PM What nationality is your day nurse?

You need some meat on your bones, eat well and sleep well. So to stop the risk of O.D I'd advise Kapol and Bongela. (Sugar free) until you build yourself up a bit. Get some good Steak and Veg down you and some cooked Breakfasts. You'll feel better in no time. Regards M Title: Re: Any secret remedies?

By the time you come down the flu's probably gone and you've dodged all the unwelcome symptoms. I was only joking about the night nurse and all that shit, this is what any normal person would do.
