... confused. Is it feed a cold or starve a fever or the other way 'round? Details are a little fuzzy, thanks to Nyquil Night Time Cold and Flu. Two tablespoons every six hours ensures nap time. When awake, hot tea soothes the throat; fleece wrap comforts the shoulders, chicken soup warms the insides ... but can't stay awake long enough to remember is it starve a cold or feed a fever? Good night, now -
Hope you feel better soon, I'm going to feed my cold

Always feed the body nourishment in high quality. Forget the chicken; go straight for the turkey wing soup. Use egg noodles for warmth and lots of onions will make you sleep. Add whole peppercorns and ginger to sweat out the ailment. Toss in some red, green and yellow bell peppers for color and variety. If you want to add some vitamin C, throw in a tomato or three. Enjoy, rest, heal.

They say starve the fever and feed the cold. I say what ever your stomach wants, try it. Lady J
me toooo! sniffs :( chicken soup is surely the way forward, its just finding/catching a chicken, cutting the veg and doing all that soup stuff that is a bit tricky!! Nice garlicky French Onion soup downstairs at the cafe - don´t forget those Vit C´s Karla - Nyquil NightTime sounds like a BOMB!! :Oo Get well soon, night-night xx
With that chicken soup, ya can't go wrong. And one of my cats thanks you for that darting bug on the screen; she'll spend quite a long time trying to catch it!
i've heard that saying as well-here it is, straight from "Google":
The addage is "feed a cold, starve a fever." It makes sense if you think about having the flu vs. a cold. A flu is an intense reaction that takes a lot of metabolic activity. Digestion is a demanding task. As a Fever is usually short lived (1-3 days), not eating may be a better way of allowing your body to contribute the maximum amount of metabolic activity to recovery. If the fever lasts longer, then maintaining adequate available energy may becomes a problem. Natural doctors recommend diluted vegetable (preferred) or fruit juice (unsweetened) for energy during an illness.
Feel guilty sayin' it, but. . .LOL! Know exactly where you're coming from! But. . .please tell me you feel better! Chow down on chicken noodle soup and call me in the morning :). Wish I could bring you
a big bowl {full of soup, 'at is}. Honey'n'lemon seems to really help. Don' dare spike mine, but u might wanna. . .wait. Not when you're takin' Nyquil! 'Soon as you feel up to it, write & tell me
how you are, 'k? Hope you are able to enjoy Christmas!!
. . .hmmmm. . .I say f e e d. An' not just soup. Stomach can take it, lay on the ice cream!!
Love ya, my frin.

It's mostly rest, but be sure to drink a lot of juice and eat lots of chicken soup to get rid of the little bugger! Oopsie! Think you just did; he's crawlin' all ovr the computer screen! EWWWW! LOL KILL it, KILL it!! LOL In any event, glad your sense of humor isn't sick; it's as sharp as ever! Very well penned, Karla; hope you feel better soon!

Where did you get that bug?;-) I thought it was on my momitor and had a fit hahahahaha I hate bugs!lol! Sorry hope you feed a cold and starve a fever?Is that it;-) hahaha Now you've got me bugged!
Yikes, instead of the Nyquil stuff try a luke warm beer and wet/cold towels around your calfs... mother got the fever down that way and the warm beer makes you sweat bullets.
The bug is a nice reminder of my unpleasant visitor in my riding boot the other day, lol
Take care,

I will come and use a kitchen knife to cut it out Karla . . . Oh, no, I am not a surgeon, but I DID stay at the Holiday Inn last night . . .
LOL!! I am sorry that you are not feeling well, though it seems that you have figured out how to ride it out. I wish you a very Merry Christmas (at which time I hope you feed instead of starve) and a happy and healthy New Year.
Take care,
Sherry
