not insects, virises and bacteria.
I am not possitive where I got it..but I got sick over night..and so did my sister. Satureday night i woke up at 3 am to a blazing soar thraot, and so did my sister. she woke up right after me. sunday moarning I had a fever, my face hurt, green mucus, head ache, tiredness, and stomach ache(a little nausia. my sister went through the same.
Monday the fever broke, but the soar throat and the mucus stayed……………….all the way to today, 5 days later, my thraot is just as soar, and I have thick green mucus(like moldy jelly blobs)….I am actualy starting to feel worse again.It also seems highly contagiouse. A friend stopped by to see if I was ok and he got sick two days later. My sister let a friend borrow her chapstic and she got sick that night.
any one else get something like this?
Oh, I’m so sorry! That doesn’t sound like any fun 🙁 Can’t say I’ve experienced that one yet but I have had Lyme Disease. Does that count? I’ll dig out my g’ma’s recipe for mulled cider. It got the whole family through the flu one Christmas. Hope you feel better soon!

oh that would be soo nice!
Can’t say I’ve had anything like that, but I can say I’ve still got a cough left over from a cold two weeks ago. It’s also had me drained and wanting naps in the middle of the afternoons the entire time. The crazy thing is I can’t get to sleep before midnight/2am either because of it.

Okay, here it is. There are no measurements 😯 I usually go by the stronger the combined scent the better. Just don’t let the spices overwhelm the scent of the apple cider 😀 Even if you can’t drink it or keep it down somehow the smell and aromatics released by the spices help to calm fever, is soothing and relaxing and brings relief.
G’ma D’s Mulled Cider
Apple Cider
cloves
allspice
cinnamon
lemon peelCombine all ingredients in a crock pot or in a large pot on the stove. Bring to gentle boil then turn down to a simmer. Best if served hot and frequently. If possible, keep simmering all day adding more cider when necessary. The longer you let it simmer the stronger in taste and scent the spices become.
Hope it helps. If not, I’ll see what else I can dig out from family herbal lore 😀

p.s. if you can’t find fresh lemon peel you can generally find it dried in the spice or baking aisle. also, when you use fresh lemon peel just use the outer yellow part; don’t get any of the inner white part or it’ll be really bitter and nasty!

oh cool. I am going to write this down in a book and show it to my mom. this definately is something to try. I lived in alaska originally and we used to do things natural, so this is very neet. if you have any other recipies could you send them to me in a pm? I would really apreciate it.
Sure thing! It’ll have to be in the a.m. though (sorry 🙁 ) I gotta get my hubby and twins packed up for snow camping tomorrow. Hub only works 4 days a week and kids only have a 4 day school week. It makes for nice long weekends! 😀
Get a good nights sleep if possible and I’ll pm ya in the morning. As my mum used to say “sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite!”

that is fine with me, thank you! ^.^
hmm that is fast and weird….
your sis said she lost her voice too…that happened to me a few years ago it was the 2nd worst being sick for me…the first happened after that…
me and a friend went out to eat…..and the next day he was horribly sick….couldn’t move…headache fever all that….and I was fine…..until 3 day later…I woke up in the middle of the night with a fever so bad that I had sweat completely through all the sheets on the bed and even made the mattress wet…I sweat so much that you could wring out my t-shirt.. 😯
when I went to the doctor he said it was some virus going around and I got the all famous shot in the butt…. 😯
but I was still sick for two weeks…and so was my friend….
horrible stuff….
hope you guys feel better soon….and that it doesn’t get worse….
It may sound like strep throat. Got it once, to the point the doctor was grossed out 😯 I felt like someone was jabbing needles under my chin everytime I swallowed.
If it’s the case, you all might need the antibiotics, because I don’t know if it can just run its course.
Green stuff means it’s infected, usually.
Get well and big hugs (from a safe distance)
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

I host the feedback lists, which are maintained by drag0nfeathers.
http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmSounds horrible. Both my kids have been sick all week (don’t know about the sore throat) and now hubby is sick too. I really hope it’s about over for the kids though…
That recipe for cider is pretty close to mine, but I add a bit o’ butter.. yum.
it is really strange. it is a bit fast for strep, but can’t rule that out. when we were younger, my sister and I were always coming down with strep throat. you do have to have antibiotics for it.
I think the loss of voice is from the mucus draining down and settling in the throat. I have been drinking a lot of hot tea to take care of that so my voice is rough and strained..but sasha has lost her voice completely.
I used a saline salution rinse because my sinus feels absolutely horrible and I got out so manny big chunks of green stuff! enough to fill up a table spoon…and then i still blew another big piece out my nose. It is not your normal cengestion where you are constantly blowing your nose..it seems to stay higher up in the sinus.
Sasha is going to try going to the doctor today, we will see what he says about it… I am off insurance again…so yay.

Sounds like it could be a sinus infection and those are really hard to budge out without antibiotics. I’m still trying to find my herbal notebook; we’ve been in the house since February and still don’t have everything unpacked. I’ll pm you soon as I find it. 😯
Hope you start feeling better and your sis too! 😀
