Don'y worry - it's only Wednesday - you'll be fine by Saturday. My best friend got married last febreuary and she had the STOMACH FLU 3 days before the wedding - throwing up terribly for 2 days! But - she was absolutely fine for the wedding!

First, it could be allergies. I've had those same symptoms on and off for 2 weeks now. Second, get thee some echinacea and start taking it immediately. Drink TONS of fluids to get it out of your system. And don't worry about it...that will just make you feel worse!

Thanks ladies! I just filled up my 32oz water bottle & I'm going to start on that. I figure if I feel worse tomorrow I'll go to the doctor since today is my last day at work :)

I can't believe this....i really hope it goes away

Start pumping fluids like crazy, take vitamins, maybe go to the doc asap to get something. And Get PLENTY of REST for the next few days!!!!

Re: Help my wedding is on Saturday and I think I'm getting SICK!!

I agree with Jann
I've been forced to take my claritin lately.. I usually ignore my allergies but it's getting bad..

Did you know that Claritin has the same drug in Sudafed only much stronger. Helps kill off a cold early if you take it twice a day. (12hr Claritin D)

Last year my allergies wouldnt stop, nothing bad just annoying, even on the claritin. Doc says I was fighting off a cold and didn't even realize it because of my claritin.

Get some OJ, a warm blanket and Lots of rest. Stress and worry will only make it worse. Take it easy on yourself.

Re: Help my wedding is on Saturday and I think I'm getting SICK!!

it will be OK!
drink lots of cranberry juice - this is my SOP for when i'm sick. i know its famous for when you have a UTI, but i love it cause it flushes everything out of your system. Also if you have a sore throat, citrus juices may aggrevate it. This is sooo easy to drink. it saved me when i got mono in college.

That and tea with honey. or theraflu (i think it tastes gross, but FI is a fan). those are other big faves in our home!

Get lots of sleep (if you can).

REST...it does wonders...and drink lots of fluids...especially like gatorade...that type of sports drink will help replace the electrolytes in your body.

You will be fine....

Re: Help my wedding is on Saturday and I think I'm getting SICK!!

What about Ecineacea? If taken at the start of a cold - definitely reduces the severity and length.....I swear by it! Also, there is a prescription now that when taken during the first days of the flu/cold, will reduce the length/severity...I sound like a walking pharmacy but I've dealt with MANY colds these past couple of years and the rest, vitamin C, fluids thing never worked for me! Best of luck - and on your big day your adreneline will be kicking in so I'm sure you'll feel great!
