| Cough drops aside, when I'm sick my mouth tastes so disgusting that
my main food ends up being tea and hot chocolate (nutrasweet), and
I LOSE weight. Now that I've lost weight, changed my diet, made
exercise a part of my life, and added vitamin C tablets (5 100's
per day, taken throughout the day) to my diet, I have not gotten
a severe cold since September (that's when I added the C). Used
to be I had them almost all winter. I know I had one last week,
back in my throat, but it didn't get bad - I coughed a little for
two mornings and could *tell* I had a small cold, but I didn't
use up my usual 2 boxes of kleenex. See what you've got to
look forward to?

| Funny that I should come back after being out sick for a day and find
this note in this conference! I'm usually good for a cold or two
during the winter -- my wife teaches elementary school music, picks up
all kinds of nasty stuff from her kiddos, and brings it home to me!
YEECH!
I would have to say, however, that I have the same reaction to a cold
as Louise -- when I have one, especially if I've taken any medication,
I don't feel like eating much of anything. However, if I were home
sick due to some other kind of illness, I might be more inclined to
nibble on whatever happens to be around the house...

| Hi, all. I'm back from a week in sunny Los Angeles (for DECUS), but
I brought something back with me -- a cold! It started with a sore
throat Sunday night (a week ago), and is mostly gone.
Being particularly aware of the diet issue last week, I noticed a
definite tendancy to use the fact that I felt miserable as an excuse
to console myself with food.
When I have a fever, though, I lose interest in food, and live on
juice and soda.

BUG Off,,, I am saying this I was doing so well not catching
any colds or BUGS for a long time..
What did I get a couple days before Christmas yep,, The BUG and
it lasted for days.. Usually it last for 24 hours but this one
just hung on.. It started Monday night and lasted until Saturday.
Christmas my whole family was sick in bed.. My mother cooked
a turkey and Vegs.. she and I took a few bits and no more.
It's the first Holiday that I lost weight .. It wasn't the fun
way..
I don't catch things very much but when I do I get it good..
Well last year we all were in Sunny California and this year
didn't seem like Christmas at all!! Bah HumBUG,,,
I hope the New Year will start off better !
I hope you are all well and had nice Holidays...
