I need a good cold remedy if there is one. Sniffles came on around 3:30 this morning and now I'm feeling achy. No fever though which I figure is good. I took some Zicam which usually works for me providing I took it early enough. All I know is I can't afford to get sick right now this is a really buisy week for me. Help!Frown

Good nutrition, lots of sleep.  DayQuil.  Not much more you can do.

I'm great on the sleep. Slept 10hrs last night. However I'm not hngry at all. I know that's not good but rght now the idea of food... "Ugh"! I juiced an apple, orange, and  some strawberries for breakfast and it was all I could do to get it down. "I hate being sick"!

Extra Vitamin C, Zinc, Echinacea.

Chiropractor swears by Congaplex (natural supplement)... but dont' know where you'd get that.

water, water, water....

I started getting sick 2 weeks before my first Tri.  I dosed up on the above and seemed to ward it off... never did get fever.  I don't care for over the counter drugs, but I have used nyquil and mucinex.

2nd cold in the past 3 months. Driving me completely nuts!. I have a race in 10 days time, and I really hoped that I would be at least MOP there, but now with 1 week no training...I dunno. Just plain rotten luck. The only good news that the weather has been bad so at least that part makes me feel a bit better.
