Seriously, do the Gatorade and popsicles thing. Both of you.

Been using it since I was a little kid. I wanted to change a few ingredients and then call it GatorAID and PopSICKles, but my mom told me it was a horrible idea and nothing ever came of it. Yet ... 10 years later it remains the go-to flu remedy for everyone in my family.

Those are the exact kind of popsicles I am talking about. Try to eat one every hour if you can. The other thing I do that is admittedly weird is I pace around the house for extended periods of time. I can't stand taking a nap and feeling worse when I wake up. So, I just chug Gatorade (Lemon Lime 32 oz bottles), eat popsicles and pace around the house until I get dizzy.

I think I'd rather just be sick.

Eat a bowl of soup, wack off, fall asleep, wake up, repeat.

Let's just wait for the results. I bet EllToPay is feeling better already.

I'm just giving you crap bro. I can joke about stuff like this because I never get sick...of course, I get a flu shot every October.

I'm terrified of shots so my awful remedies are all I have.
