Thanks Bev and Justin,My arthritis is okay, its good just skin looks like its come up a bit,just hope it subsides, Thank you very much :)

I am now an Acupuncture addict - it ceased my weekly migraines.
For your joints, give it a go!

I had a serious infection 4 years ago and I had a terrible skin reaction. Bright red everywhere I looked like a burn victim.

I can’t say I’ve noticed the relation between a cold and my skin. Get better quickly John! I highly recommend oregano oil (5 drops in water once a day maximum 10 days).

Hi John, When getting a cold my P is fine, I haven't had flu in a very long time but I remember when I had bronchitis 4 years ago my P just flared up. It was a disaster. My scalp flared up and I knew, my legs are going to get worse. And it did.
Get well soon, we know how men are when they have man flu lol ;) (just kidding)

Justin, how is the flu shot working for you? Doesn't it trigger a flare ? I don't get joint pain anymore (thank goodness) but acupuncture is good for a lot of things. Keep it up!

HAHAHA Michelle, i joke about man flu as men dont usually cope very well with colds :), I do like the ladies and carry on, I been getting joint ache slightly but thats because of the symptoms of a cold,flu is very different, i have had flu and you are bed ridden and cant move hardly at all, A lot think a common cold is flu though one can have symptoms like flu but if one can walk ,drive etc feeling like crap then its a common cold , i can feel more aches in my tennis elbow,i must give up tennis , and my dodgy shoulder, feeling a little better but dont know how that will be through the day ? thank you :)

Yes you do carry on indeed John. Having the flu is not nice which is why I try to keep my immune system strong during summer to prevent getting sick in winter. It usually helps. I think my iron is a bit low. Feeling dizzy since I started working. I forgot to take my vits for 2 weeks. Anyway, I hope you feel better soon and that your dodgy shoulder and elbow doesn't give you pain. Good luck! :)

Yes all is good thank you Michelle, feeling better today than yesterday, must be that paracetamol and my back street antibiotics sorting it out lol ,A lot of sick people at work spreading it all around,, yes keep an eye on iron levels Michelle, thanks that reminds me to take my dose :) thank you :)

We get free flu shots from work but I don't have them and yet to get the flu,or a cold yet am around pple that are sick with cold all through winter ,so safe to say noy PS doesn't get worse when sick.

Get well soon John,honey ,lemon and ginger in warm water and sleep with a cut onion in your room ,tell this to my adult children and they stopped calling me witch as some of my remedies do actually work

Haha Rosey. I agree. Home remedies do work. I used to drink the syrup of onion (put the onion in a bowl with a little bit of water overnight) for an inflamed chest. I does work but one has to do it for a couple of days. Lemon and ginger in water works just as well. I'm more into home remedies. Never go to a doctor.

I eat raw onions , does help, loaded with vitamin C,I am getting better today so tomorrow i will just have all the left over crap to come out lol, I know someone was telling me they need see a doctor for a cold? i said really, noooo,just eat healthy and do some remedies, doc cant do anything for that but give paracetamol or sum stuff, i said will go if you do as i say lol though its a choice a choice for everyone :)

Had that for ten days fizzy cold and flu drink for me had chills for a week then lost taste buds then headache ugg slept alot. Better now

I'm glad you're feeling better now Clint. I have never lost taste buds when having the flu. That must be awful.
