general I always get sick this time of year. Help me feel better?

[Starzen 160]

Hi everypony.

I have a terrible cold, and was wondering if any of you could help keep me entertained but chatting, telling me a joke, telling me something interesting, or just in general keep me company.

I haven't been on MLP forums in awhile, so helpfully it doesn't seem selfish that I come back only when it's convenient for me

I'll start with a chat topic I suppose. What's your favorite movie to watch when you're sick? Mine is Star Wars.

I rarely fall asleep while watching a movie. I'm always too interested. lol

But then I do sleep for like 12 hours at night while sick, so I'm also just not very tired.

Aw, poor poneh. 

I usually watch YouTube or play PS4 - preferably an adventure game so it's nice and chill. Reading is often too difficult...but I do read when I can.

Staying warm? Eating lots of soup?

If you have something like mint oil, you could put a drop of that into boiling-hot water and breathe that. I've been doing that, it smells nice and unclogs my nose even when nose spray doesn't.

There's also soup as said above; a tea (preferably green with mint), chamomile or lavender infusion could also help.

Keep warm, particularly around the chest and neck area; if you have a turtleneck or something similar, put that on.

And of course, if your doctor prescribes medicine, you take that.

Hmm, I don't have mint oil but I do have mint green tea, as well as starlight mints. Those things seem to help.

I should probably put my turtleneck on. That sounds like a good idea!

I'm feeling a little better today everypony, but if anypony else wants to chime in with advice feel free!

[Mirage 24,736]

Glad you feel better!

When I'm sick I cover up in a bunch of blankets by the fireplace, heat up some soup, and watch whatever is on tv. Shows, movies, and MLP of course!

"Fireplace" always makes me think of hot chocolate, usually with marshmallows. I like them sweet, and if I can get cream on that, I'll be set for the hour.

Really, any kind of warm drink would help, but tea and chocolate are best.

I'm all over the tea. I need to buy hot chocolate though.

Depends on what you can take, but I always take some homeopathic stuff, since medication interactions prevent me from taking cold medicine. There's one I use, but I cannot remember the name of it.

Look up some good ones and I'm sure you'll find something!

When I'm sick I tend to get carried away with hygiene and cleaning. Bedsheets changed every morning, 4 showers a day, surfaces swept and scrubbed, etc. Then I just lay in bed all day like a lump. It helps in one way or another.

Hello, @Starzen

This thread does not contain potential to begin a discussion here and would, in turn, be better suited as a status or perhaps a blog entry. Therefore, I will be closing this thread and referring you to the above mentioned alternatives.
