I have the Flu and my body aches bad,terrible headaches,what can make me feel better and not feel as sick?

Ive been to doctor and I have Flu...I have medicine for my cough but it doesnt make my body and head feel better,I cant sleep....what will make me feel better?

Please help me figure out some remedy or something of wisdom to help me out...this is driving me insane...I feel terrible!

i am sorry my brother, but do you want to be feeling better? sure you do. first what you can do is pray about it. and then drink hot drinks example hot tea with fresh Ginger and hot orange juice drink that and eat orange, because it is good for the person who have a flu. and try to be warm as much as you can after 1day taking a shower i hope you feel better. for aching gold bond body lotion is i thing it is good

u should try theraflu, that usually relieves some of the symptoms for me. Nyquil doesn't hurt either since it will make you sleepy and your body heals itself while you sleep. I hope you feel better soon. I recently had the flu and my heart goes out to you.

soups

dont know if youre a drinker, but sometimes a nice buzz from a nice hard liquor helps... Or a massage from a big burley man

Have theraflu and go to sleep.

Flatten some coke, it will help balance your electrolytes.

Try to drink some cough medicine that will make you drowsy. Get plenty of rest and drink lots and lots of water and juice! It really helps! :)

herbal tea, and breath in the steam from it, stay away from bright lights and loudness. Try a warm plain bath , and don't try reading anything. your body needs to recoup.

chicken noodle soup, crackers, toast,if you can keep it down,if not ice chips, aspirin,

HUGS FROM US???? I only say that as I did get a free flu shot at the hospital I work. It sucks big time but I'm sorry....you need to wait it out -- cuddle up -- soup, watch TV and drink fluids.....awwww

It seems like you allready know the answer Hippi, crawl into bed, get some chicken noodle soup, and spark up the joint!

WAIT IT OUT AND BE PATIENT.

I find that the best thing for me when I am sicknis to eat WARM soup. My favorite is potato soup. It makes your body not ache so bad.

If your head hurts you should take some Tylenol or some sort of aspirin.

If I were you and today is Friday I would just except the fact the week end is going to suck. So what I would do is take either Nyquile to knock my self out or some sort of sleeping pill. Benydryl works too. Tylenol PM knocks every one for a loop try some of that. Face it the week end is shot the best thing you could do is just sleep the Flu away. good luck

I have it too. I am taking nyquil capsules to help me sleep. Drinking hot tea and soaking in a hot bath with a wash cloth dipped in the water and then wrung out and putting it over my face while I am in the tub has helped me.

theraflu is the best it will help

I feel sorry for you, really. Drink some hot tea at bedtime,it will clear your head. Take Tylenol or Motrin. Ya gotta wait it out. Just keep comfortable as possible. I'm real sorry. get well!!!

I think personally think you should try something meditation and prier they don't help god is not there but if you try you will have it help there is a force that helps us that is not describable just feel able. try soups as well chicken noodle soup is one of the best but at the same time don't sneeze in your soup.

tylenol flu medicine nightime version

go 2 FluHelp.org hope u find an answer

I typically go for the store brand Nyquil for all over relief and a peaceful night's rest. For as long as you're sick, though, let go of everything else and kick back. Resting, sleeping, and drinking plenty of liquids will help a lot. Some good old-fashioned TLC is very comforting, too.

Hope you feel better soon!

With so many types of flus around (including bird flu) its important to get yourself to a doctor.

Here's some info though:

Doctors can diagnose influenza (flu) using your symptoms alone if many cases of a similar illness have occurred in the community and if the local health department has confirmed a flu outbreak. There are tests to confirm you have the flu (not just think you do) and to determine the type of virus.

The results may affect treatment decisions. During a confirmed flu outbreak, however, testing may not be needed even if treatment with an antiviral medication is being considered.

Testing may involve blood tests (rarely used) or a culture to identify the virus. Some cultures take 24 to 48 hours for results, so they will not help your doctor decide whether to prescribe an antiviral medication.

A rapid flu test is now available that gives results in 30 minutes. Although this test is not 100% accurate, it can be useful when deciding whether to use an antiviral medication.
