I hope you feel better! Getting old and sick is scary. I guess the older and sicker you get the closer you have to stay by your phone!

Keeping up the vitamins is a good thing -though again, they are no replacement for real medicine - that is when a doctor/practioner is required :-) During winters spells its good to stock up on multi-vitamins, iron, herbs and cough medicines :-) Hope you are feeling better soon :-)

You might want to go to a doctor and be checked. Please get well soon.

feel better soon, ok

since you live alone,
you may want to tell a neighbor,
a friend, or co worker your condition,
and ask them to come in and check up on you every few days.

just in case.

The last time I was ill, the mail backed up in the box, but the letter carrier never checked to bring the packages to the door. I guess times have changed.
I have to make a set of keys for a friend - just in case.

If you are coughing up anything yellow or green you should definitely see a doctor. In the meantime, vitamin C, echinacea, garlic (chopped up fresh on your food), hot peppermint tea with honey, and olive leaf extract can be helpful to boost your immune system. Hope you feel better soon!

I take the Vit. C and echinacea, peppermint tea and probiotics. I'll check into the "olive leaf extract" - never heard of its use.

Olive leaf extract can be helpful for lung infections. Elderberry is another one, although I haven't tried it. A few years ago one of my elderly aunts was suffering with a lung infection after she and I had the flu about the same time. For months she took medications, had all kinds of medical tests, etc. Finally I took her some olive leaf extract capsules and told her to take one twice a day. Within a week she was all better and breathing normally after suffering for 6 months. It doesn't always work, but I feel it's worth a try and it has definitely helped me a few times.

thank you! I am at the library, across the street from the Vitamin Shoppe - now you know where I'll be headed after my computer time...LOL
