In order of importance (in my non-medically inclined opinion)
1) Sleep 2) Orange Juice 3) Cold-eez (or any kind of cough drop/vitamin C supplement, but I love me some cold-eez) 4) Hot tea (although my experiences this is only a temporary cure, doesn't help with the duration)
Oh, and above all, and this should be obvious but I often need to be reminded as well... Try your darndest to not drink any alcohol while sick. It's horrible for the immune system. Just save it for your healthy Roo

Oh, and I heard through the grapevine that Karma is good for treating illnesses too... so, here you go. Now if I run into you at Roo somehow, you better not still be sick.
I just got over being sick last week. Drink lots of fluids. Chicken soup and hot tea work wonders. And if you don't have to go anywhere, the Ny-quil coma is the way to go. If all else fails...Corncat cures what ails you.
I've had very similar symptoms for about a week now. I hadn't been ill for a long time and i figured i was due, which is cool with me, cuz i'll have it all out of the system by June 13th.
I've been taking the Vitamin C pills, drinking Odwalla Superfood's, and trying to hack out as much of the neon junk as i can.
We treat mishaps like sinking ships and I know that I don't want to be out to drift Well I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and They both tell me that we're better than this
"They won't break me because the desire for freedom, and the freedom of the Irish people, is in my heart. The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show. It is then that we will see the rising of the moon."
I feel for ya, ellis! I've had a cold since memorial day weekend. It's finally letting up and hopefully it'll be gone by thursday. OTC meds never work for me, just TONS of sleep. Hope you feel better before roo!
I'm sure this doesn't compare, but last year..about three days before Roo I got this GIANT cold sore on my face! It looked and felt terrible! UGH!! I shiver at the thought of it still today. Anywayz, I had to go through the whole Bonnaroo weekend with this freakin' thing on my lip and was constantly putting medication on it. But no amount of medication and/or moisturizer could withstand the hot Tennessee sun. But I still found last year to be the most fun of all the three previous times I went!
So take this little bit of insight with however many grains of salt you may. And good luck to you. But remember...... Bonnaroo will ALWAYS be fun ;D
well i just woke up from my nap and drank a bunch of oj! my throat is so sore i prolly couldnt talk if i wanted to so im glad i got yall here!! i think im gonna take some nyquil in a little bit a try to sleep this off. i like the idea about the water... i need to drink more! i had silly dreams about infrorooer's feeding me chicken soup! ;D
BIG THANKS[/size]to everyone for their suggestions! i definatetly feel better because of all my inforoo buddies!!! ;D

Sounds like you have an infection. Best and fastest way I know to get rid of sicknesses: rinse your mouth with peroxide and water a few times a day, and use a tounge scraper. I also put a little peroxide in my ears, just a little bit from the cap and hold my head to the side, you'll feel it working. Wash your hands often, I can't stress this enough, blowing your nose or coughing and then eating or touching your mouth will prolong your sickness. Also slippery elm and licorice (etc.) tea work magic on getting crap out of your lungs, teas like breathe easy, herbatussin, and throat coat by Traditional Medicinals are key. But MOST importantly, do not own up to being sick!! Just tell yourself your definitely gonna be better by bonnaroo. Positive thoughts + whats listed above and you'll be better in no time, PLUS your body will be immune to whatever nasty germs caused this.
lol
Ohkay guys! thanks so much for your advice..
