i am getting sick

If it hasn't kicked in full blown yet you need to haul your ass to the drugstore and buy something called Zicam. This shit has worked for me everytime. It's guaranteed to shorten the duration of a cold, and a couple of times I used it when I was in the initial sore throat phase it actually stopped it. This shit rocks and it's homeopathic so it's metal all the way.

-good luck dude
 
Fear Factory rules, I love incomplete sentence metal.

I generally pound 3000mg of vitamin C when I feel a cold/flu/leprosy coming on, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Either way, colds are stupid.
 
i agree with subskull--i have Zicam in my bag right now. (Greg, if you're coming home for Easter, I'll be home tonight--give me a call and you can borrow some!)

if you're going to buy it, you should get the nose spray--i have the mouth spray and it works the same but tastes crappy. Zinc stuff is the ONLY thing proven to shorten the duration of or prevent the onset of the common cold. my roomie's mother uses it constantly and she hasn't gotten a cold since she started.

it is pricey, though. $14 for a little bottle.
