As a guy, I would agree that I get a bit needy and whiny when sick like I am right now. I want to be mothered. :( Where is a boyfriend when you need one?
Let's see, I curl up into blankets, drink fluids and soup. Do minimal things. Sleep and/or watch stuff on my laptop or TV. Sometimes play games. That's about it.
Same thing I do any other day I'm not at work - play games and/or watch anime :D
On the rare occasion I do get sick (I have an immune system like a tank so I might get a cold once a year that'll last about two days), I go about my daily routine until it's better. I'm too stubborn to be beaten down by something like a virus. Once we let them disrupt our normal lives is when we've let the microbial terrorists win.
I take god awful tasting medicine, usually waste high quantities of tissues, stay in bed longer than usual, hope I won't have to go to school the next day, and if I do go to school, I'll feel like I'm going to die.
Lie in bed and go "waaaaaaah, I'm dying ;_;"
When I'm sick, I like to be left alone. Don't make me do anything. I'll take a simple shot of NyQuil and I'll be knocked out from my lack of chemical tolerance. :p
During days when I'm having my period (it counts as sickness), I take Tylenol pills every six hours and keep a heating pad on my tummy or back. I also watch The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, or another movie with a happy ending, because I always feel sad during the first half of my period and need something to boost me. I crave chocolate, too, so I eat plenty of that.
If my cramps are really bad, though, I might lay in my bed or on a couch and whine for a long, long time.
If I have a runny or stuffy nose, cough, etcetera, I wrap myself in blankets and puppies and watch movies and/or TV! Nausea is pretty common for me, but I don't know how to deal with it other than staying still.
I have a bug right now, and I'm just going about my classes as usual, just with added tired and desire to not be there. Other than that I'm rather lazy.
Unless I am absoloutely dying and should probably have been admitted to the local hospital I don't do a damn thing when I'm ill apart from live my life like normal. I go to work, I play games, I'll go drinking (paracetamol and alcohol wooohooo! Actually nah, if I take drugs then I don't drink been there done that...most certainly isn't cool passing out after 4 beers) Heck I'll even go get myself some sexy time! However if I'm dying and should probably be in a hospital then I'll stay home and watch movies or play games complaining about being bored. Then when better and capable of working again I go to work and complain about not having any time off!
