I was looking online today and ran across this article. I never get the flu shot but thats a personal choice, just becuase I never think the flu is bad enough. Although when I had 3 kids home last year...or daycare) I might consider it more seriously. But hearing about this as a possible side effect, I dunno... http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2008/10/22/bc-fku-shot-paralysis.html
Both my son and I are starting to get colds. So far, my DS is just couching and has slight congestion. His temp is still normal and he is still happy and now rolling like it's going out of style. My question...thing you would recommend to keep the aches and stuffiness at bay. I saw all the suggestions on Kellymom, but I was wondering what worked for you and what did you liked better as a homeopathic remedy
I have a scratchy throat. I had it a few days ago, and then again today. And I was thinking that it was because I was sick the nights before, but now I'm thinking I'm getting a cold. That or it could be... I read that gargling ACV is supposed to help. I'll give it a try, but I'm not sure I can really stomache that right now. And I can't stomache plain garlic right now. Thanks for any suggestions.
Poor little girl is not well. She's got a cough and the sneezes, no runny nose and thank god no fever, actually at times her forehead feels kinda clamy (sp?) It hasn't taken away her appetite, she's on...matters worse, I'm not well either. I don't like the idea of giving her medications is there any thing I can do to sooth her cough or then what I'm doing, giving her the boob whenever she wants it

Firstly a big thank you to Stran3d who reminded me to nag my current doctor regarding seeing a pulmonary specialist. I did, he wasn't a jerk about it (for a change) and I've seen a pulmonary specialist...doesn't love the screen) but I'm not finding much beyond the stuff the doctor's have talked about. On another note, I am so over this. I want to be healthy again so I can get back to real life.
I went to my GP, and he confirmed that indeed, my head cold has turned into a chest cold with lung congestion. I'm on antibiotics, and while I hate taking them, I also know that my previous experiences...than pneumonia or a hospitalization. That said: Is there any complementary way to help speed my recovery from this cold of doom? I'm drinking lots of fluids and had been taking zinc (didn't work)
There's a lot in the memories on cold remedies, but I'm not sure how to apply them to this: I had a horrible cold all week. Mostly the cold was gone by Thursday or so, but I'm left with a little congestion... see if that helps, and all the immunity boosters, but anything else? Thanks! (ps - of course, if this doesn't go away in a week or two I'll see a doctor, but I don't think it's necessary right now
