What can I do? I have been sick for 3 days. I felt so horrible yesterday that I went to my GP--I was basically drug seeking. I felt like there had to be something more serious wrong with me than the flu. Now, I am thrilled that I chose a good provider. I specifically looked for someone who would support our natural approach to health. He said he couldn't do more than offer moral support. I am 30 weeks pregnant and I can't stand it. I have been taking zinc, emergen-c, gargling salt water and taking tylenol about every 8 hours. I am trying to avoid it, but honestly I am so miserable I am desperate. I've also been drinking lots of tea, taking probiotics and honey. What else can I do? They told me to expect another 4-7 days of this. I can't. Help!

(on a totally ridiculous note. . .isn't it funny that when I want something there is nothing that anyone can do, but if I were in labor they would be pumping me with all kinds of nasty stuff that isn't good for me then either?)

Sorry I don't have any advice for you, but I just got over the flu (I'm 40 weeks) so I know how miserable you are feeling. Just take good care of yourself. It will go away eventually.
