It is probably from STRESS. Take nice warm baths to relax your body, if you can. Good Luck and Congrats

there are a LOT of days before the 7th. You probably have most of your last minute things done. Now is the time to delegate and ask for help. You need to sleep and eat - and DRINK as much as you can. Make sure to eat. Have a nice steak (if you eat meat), potatoes, etc. You won't gain weight in a week. Zinc is good and it's never too late for Vitamin C. That stuff can work magic. Just relax and rent some movies - and take off from work!

try ecchineccea (sp?) supplements, plenty of fluids and rest!
I swear by Echinacea pills. At the first sign of a cold (scratcy throat, sniffles, etc.) I take at least 2 tablets 3x's a day. If you already have a cold it weakens it, and it you are getting one it often stops it in its tracks (at least for me!). Also, try Cold Ease losenges. Hope you feel better!

Re: Help I am getting sick!!!
drink plenty of OJ. its amazing what OJ can do. get plenty of rest. you need to have rest to help your immune system fight off any colds that you may have or any germs in your system.
take a mental health day from work. just sleep in late, take a nice hot bath, read a good book, catch up on your soaps, do some mild shopping. just treat yourself. indulge in a cheesecake, large coffee, chocolate, maybe get your nails done, a pedicure, maybe get a massage. just take the day to treat yourself. a day to yourself can really rejunivate a person.
relax, take it easy and treat yourself to something soothing.

I was getting sick about 2 weeks ago from FH who had severe bronchitis. I called my doctor and he prescribed antibiotics, now, it is all in my nose, but I do feel better. get plenty of rest and lots of fluids.

Just relax, take some deep breaths, go to sleep early every night this week. Drink tea with lemon and honey (very soothing) and yes, this is from stress. Delegate a little more to a friend or family member and spend time doing nothing each day- read a book or watch tv. imo.

I am going to follow all of your suggestions and get REST. I am totally stressed and better not be sick on Saturday. I am going to learn to delegate if it kills me this last week. Uggghhhhh. I really can't wait for all of this planning to be over. I don't want the day to go too fast but I need to get back to my normal life!!!

Try Zicam...it's a homeopathic over the counter nasal spray that helps prevent a cold from starting and reduces the length of the cold and symptoms if one does start. I used when I was sick the other week and found it to be really good.

Re: Help I am getting sick!!!
Take 1000 Ester C every 2 hours. Also take Liquid Echinacea. Empty Stomach with juice. DO NOT have any sweets, soday, coffee, or dairy!! Sweets will weaken your imune system and coffee will dry you out. This will help Tremendously. ALso take 99mg or less or zinc a day! Take a Pill not ****ers with sugar. Get lots of sleep at night and drink tons of water to keep your chest from tighnening. THis always works and since I have done this when I am fighting something I have had only 1 cold in 2 years and it lasted only 3 days and never went to my chest. Good Luck!! PS tylenol does nothing except alleviate symptoms. Also taxes your liver. Dont take it at all!! Also hot showers to keep your chest from tightneing up. This also helps alot. Dont take cold remedies either since they dont heal you they just mask symptoms. Feel better. As you can tell I wanted to be a nutritionist or ND Naturalpathic Doctor.
