lynn Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Flu or some virus got ds, then dh and yesterday dd who thankfully is better now. I cant get sick dd and I have plans for lunch and have tickets for the Nutcracker Ballet its our first year of the tradition. I am good at keeping hands washed and everything clean. I am keeping dd and ds home from our classes tomorrow to keep them away from whatever is going around. A local school has shut down due to this virus/flu whatever it is. I upped the vitamin C, echinacea (sp?), I am taking Zicam. Anything that will help let me know. Oh, thanks for letting me whine..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Oil of oregano and oscillo. That's what I took when I felt like I was getting the flu last weekend. I got better and the flu never materialized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 This has been a bad semester for getting sick. Last year I only had 3 separate occasions for the entire schoolyear when one of my students had to miss class (out of 7 students). This semester I have already had 3 miss one class each out of just 5 students. I've had strep twice this year (still on penicillin for it since it started on Friday).

I got better and the flu never materialized. Bah. I did get sick - Jean, is oil of oregano only preventative or would it help me now? If it's preventative, I might get some for my dh. (Sorry to hijack! I was singing the "I won't get sick" song and it didn't work!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take some even if you are already sick. I found it to be preventative as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I use Airborne, but would also add zinc, which is supposed to help lessen the duration if you get sick. I hope you don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
