Okay fellow bitoger's, here's what *not* to do when you're home sick with the grand slam of all summer colds and all you feel like doing is sleeping... "Hey, I think it might make me feel better to sit outside and get some sun for a little bit."

Drifted off into a snooze and got a burn from being out too long.

I swear I am my own worst enemy most of the time.
 
Ibuprofen and aloe vera will make you feel much better. Get the Fruit of the Earth 100% aloe vera gel.
 
Take one gram of Vitamin C every hour. Back off to one gram every two hours when you get "the runs", then every three hours etc. I have not been sick over a day in 15 years since I started doing this.

Google Linus Pauling and the common cold for more info.
 
The already suggested Aloe Vera gel. and Vitamin C/Orange juice for the cold.
maybe some lemon juice + honey + ginger.
or wasabi/horseradish +honey.
also half-half water+vinegar to take the "heat".
in a pinch also yogurt could be used.
take warm-ish/cooler showers and dry naturally.
any essential oils in your lady's side?

use soft clothes and bed sheets.
 
Yeah, I did that once back in the 80's as a young buck.

Next day my Boss refused to grant my sick day - he said It looks like you were at the beach all day.

I said, "No!I though the sun would do me good and I get well faster!"
He pushed back and said, "... next time stay in your dark clammy bedroom like the rest of us!"
