Sick and Smokin'

[TallulahGreen]

Sucks. I have been sick for nearly 3 weeks now, and it just keeps slowly getting progessively worse symptom by symptom.
It's HELLA raining outside..and all nasty.

I have herb..but I almost feel too crappy to smoke it.
LAME.
I am so FUCKING SICK OF FEELING SO FUCKING CRAPPY. I almost forget what it feels like to feel good.

You should toke, suppress the nausea :)

I know your situation completely dear. I was recently sick with some sort of virus and ended up having it for about 2 full weeks and its still not completely gone. It all started with a sore throat in the morning that was very dull but still there. Then it progressively went to a cough and then just general congestion, AND THEN THE WORST HACKING COUGH in the world. Of course the whole time I was taking huge gravity bong rips and trying to make myself feel better.

Do yourself a big favor and just cut back or stop the weed entirely. Your body needs all the energy and rest that it can get to recover and fight off the sickness. It will stay with you a lot longer than if you had just stopped smoking alltogether -- that includes cigarettes too that's a big no no.

Anyways, good luck get better you're much too pretty to be sick!

Yeah that is pretty much the sickness I have exactly. It started about 3 weeks ago with a scratchy throat...then everyday I would wake up with a scratchy throat...and it keeps progessively getting worse to where I now have this nasty ass dry cough...that is like constant. I have a freaking phlegm factory in my head. I have snot comin' out of everywhere..my glands are super duper swollen...I am freaked out I have MONO!
Lucky for me I don't smoke cigarettes...but love pot and I am sure that is just making it worse. I actually haven't even smoked yet at all today because I feel to crappy.
...that doesn't mean I'm not thinkin' about it though.

follow this

1... homemade chicken soup,eat it as hot as you can stand it...
2... tea,lemon,honey,brandy,,, drink it as hot as you can stand it...
3... gargle with Listerine like 10 times a day...
4... good ol OJ,keep your C up naturally

if you don't want to make the soup use a package... hot is key as you need to sweat out toxins in your body...

I usually get better in 2 to 3 days with my method... Most important is to rest while sick,if you exhaust yourself your immune system will also be exhausted...

I hope you feel better soon,I just went through it...

Thanks for the advice. I really need to go to the store, unfortunatly that means walking 6 blocks in the pouring rain. I really need to just get it over with. I had soup yesterday...soup sounds really good right now. Only without CHICKEN ;) ..cause I am a crazy vegetarian.
I have been double dosing on the emergen-C packets, if you know what those are. Haven't been taking the best care of myself...been on a weird sleeping schedule, drink too much beer, stay out too late, walk in the cold too much, been really stressed out, been not eating enough or eating good stuff. I am a mess....it's easy to let this happen I guess.

Basically have what you all seem to have. Woke up with a sore throat, then a stuffy nose, then a hacking, nasty wet cough. I've had it for practically ever now. bird flu :( or mono. -cry-

I smoke every day and have been. I suggest you do too, you'll feel better :P

[peace plz]

Hey, I believe you're from Oregon, am I correct? I think I saw you post that you're from the southern part of the state. I'm up in Eugene, and I too am facing a similar situation. I am sick with the exact same symptoms as you and I can't decide whether to smoke or not. For the time being, I am holding off, but I am starting to feel a bit better, so I may start back up soon.

And the rain has already come down there? I think the Willamette Valley has another week before we start to really get the rain. Does it snow down by you? No snow here, just rain, and lots of it.

Anyways, take care and I hope you can feel better soon.

I actually moved up to Portland about a month ago...I don't think it's raining yet in Southern Oregon..I think it is foggy today. I am originally from Ashland, and no it really doesn't snow there. Every once in awhile we will get maye an inch..but it never lasts for very long. It happens so rare that it's really exciting whenever it does.
Thanks, and I hope you feel better soon too. It is no fun bein' sick. :(

Ohhh, preminitions of the cold season, I always get sick and i never seemt o get the easy to get over with colds i always get the virus' that eats away at the inside of my skull and makes me bleed from my eyes.

one year i got sick and ended up in bed for 3 weeks, i couldn't even move or think, it felt like my brain was gonna explode.



i hope it snows and i hope it snows alot where i am, because that means SNOWBOARDING and sledding and snowball fights and all that good shit. plus it means i get to work inside instead of outside.

I was drinking literally GALLONS of water a day and that along with good old fashioned rest and generic airbourne's is what pulled me out.

Just goes to show how "dependent" we are on weed. HAHAH
