I’m getting extremely frustrated. I caught a cold and I’m trying to do homework questions and I feel like I forgot everything.

I don’t have time to be sick!

Daytime cold medicine might work for you. You might feel funny or zombieish, but you'll still be able to study.

I took some Tylenol. It's helped my body symptoms but my head is still foggy.

I feel bad for you Rocky. My exam is Monday and I blew most of last weekend due to a cold. Lost two whole days and now I'm taking a day off just to cram! I hate taking days off to study…..what a waste of vacation time!

I'm at a point where I don't know if I'm actually sick or just suffering from fatigue. I feel flushed up and my voice is hoarse, but I know what being sick is really like, and it doesn't quite feel like I am. No mucus or any of that nasty stuff. Occasional coughing though.

Taking my REG exam next Monday. Definitely going to take it easy on Sunday. At the very least get 8+ hours of sleep.

I swear by Airborne. I take it when i start to feel sick. I'll take a tablet every 4 hours (no more than 3 times a day) and I'm usually 100% by the next afternoon. You should try it.

Edit: Oh, Airborne. IDK, didn't it get fined by the FCC or whatever for false advertising?

Try alka seltzer cold and flu daytime (orange flavor) it is amazing, I felt better within a few hours of drinking it!

@CPA

Thanks for the tip. I'll pick up some tonight after work.

In the meantime, I'm going to pull myself together and study during my lunch hour. Take that, cold!

I think they were indeed sued for false advertising.

Actually, I'm not feeling too hot today either. I just took Advil — all pain is gone now!! 🙂

@ijustwant76

I took some advil about a half hour ago too! It's starting to kick in I think. Hopefully it clears my head so I can focus on studying when I take my lunch break soon.

Ugh, I feel for you. I'm studying for my (hopefully) last section, and this is the time of year when I ALWAYS get sick. Been drinking tons of water and making sure to get my exercise in (running 3-4 times a week, but I'm also training for a half marathon so that's why). Best of luck to you and feel better!!

While Airborne was in a suit, I still cannot deny what it does for me health wise. Since using it, I've gone from being sick 4-5 times a year to once or not at all per year. Personally, I'd rather pay for a $7 bottle of a placebo and feel better the next day than to pay between $50-100 for a prescription and hopefully feel better within a week. Try it or not, it's your choice. I'm only trying to help 🙂

Ugh. Drinking does not a good sleep make.

It will get you sleep though.
