Horrible Body Aches?!
Question: I have the flu. I can handle the cough, cold sweats.. but not the Body aches/Headaches.
I'm not one on medicine. I personally think that its all about the money and that they government is secretly grabbing into our pockets for money. Money that will buy us the drugs that help in the short race but forgot about the marathon called life.

ANYWAYS.
Do you know of any SIMPLE home remedy's to kick the crap out of my Body aches? BESIDES sleep. I cant even lay down its that bad.
PS!. No asshole remarks please (ie. " Why don't you just go read that book for it.") Simply because, there isn't anything in this book about Body Aches. Thanks :]

I also believe in natural remedies,why don't you turn your shower on hot , hot water close the door and let your bathroom fill up with steam go in the bathroom and try to sweat out this flu make sure that you are bundled up once you can't handle that any more then you can make sure that especially your neck is wrapped with a hot pad. The key is to sweat , when you sweat you body is cleansing itself it is opening all of its pores and getting rid of the toxins try not to get cold. Keep bundling up. And to drink tons of hot tea, keep your fluids up that will help flush you r body as well.
Good luck!! trust me I know it truly sucks....
Sorry to inform you, but tylenol and motrin will help you. The governement isn't making hardly anything off of OTC drugs and from a nursing standpoint, there isn't anything else to reduce it. A fever and body aches go hand in hand with each other. As sick as you are right now, I don't think you should be worried about conspiracy theories involving the government. You should be more worried about how to ease your symptoms and how to help you feel a little better. Try a hot shower, 400 mg of motrin or 325 mg of tylenol, some non drowsy decongessant like robitussin, some mucinex, some nyquil, a couple of pillows to prop up your head, and some good old fashioned shut eye. Try some vicks vaporub all over your chest, neck, and nose to open up the airways a little bit more. It works better than any decongestant I know of or nasal spray. Before you go to bed suck up some water or saline solution (water and salt) in your nose until you feel it draining into your throat. It will help clear out some of the crud.
I'm a registered nurse and believe that conventional medicine is often not helpful and is expensive. Body aches accompanied with the Flu often respond to Ibuprofen 800 mg, a hot toddy with plenty of honey and lemon. Then go lay down in a dark, quiet room. Hope you feel better soon.
May be it is good to have a cup of warm Chinese tea. I usually get good result...
Best wishes
I love your PS! Ive thought of attaching that to some of my questions, but am always afraid to. I use oolong tea. It acts as a catalyst to flush the system, as well as providing the necessary fluid to do so. You should drink 12-16 cups of that as hot as you can stand it when you are sick. Give that two days, and if that doesn't work, get a decent quality bottle of brandy. That will definitely kill the pain.
The only household remedy that I know.
Take a mug place 2 tablespoons of honey fill up with hot water and stir until the honey has melted, leaving enough room for the juice of between half to1 whole lemon and adjust to taste,drink this with 2 panadol and go to bed.
Or if you go to a Chinese Herbalist ask for cure for the flu and cold patent medicines, they come in tablet form or a packet of 8 powders which you pour boiling water on to just 1 only and drink ( if taken as soon you get the first sign of a cold or flu, some times it nips in the bud).GOOD LUCK
The only thing that helps my body aches when I have the flu is to take a hot bath with 2 cups epsom salts and 2 cups hydrogen peroxide. Make yourself sweat. You may have a headache from dehydration. If you are too nauseated to drink a lot of fluids, drink ginger tea with honey to settle your stomach first. The ginger also helps with the chills. Use Vick's vapor rub on your chest and the bottom of your feet (weird, but works) to help your cough.
