    I sleep and enjoy a day off. I walk around with no pants and watch too much netflix when i'm not napping.

    I take Advil for my achy bones and then I sleep a lot. I also have some ginger juice and a lot of water. Got to stay hydrated especially when sick. When I had pneumonia though I didn't get to sleep much because it hurt to breathe so I sat up in bed and ate a lot while playing Pokemon on Nintendo 3DS.

    Just wait it out. Take some drugs if it becomes unbearable. One of the upsides about being a heavy drinker is that throwing up comes naturally and feels a lot better since you aren't drunk. Also, drink Sprite or have some popsicles. That way when you puke you don't have to deal with an awful taste. If anything, it kind of feels good to have colder stuff come back up because the cooler temperature makes the throat feel good since it is usually sore or fatigued if you have anything that makes you throw up.

    When the sickness first sets in I just don't sleep. My body decides it will stay awake until it has the virus on the ropes.

    I spend the day before the illness moaning that I can feel a sickness coming and I really don't need it right about now.

    I spend the days I am sick in bed, with Mr. Carny being my nurse for the day.

    I spend the days I am sort of recovering but not 100% yet wondering when it will finally end.

    Right now I'm sick. I went to a doc to get a shot in my booty because I think I was allergic to the spider or something. Now I have a bit of nose congestion. I'm drinking a lot of ginger, water, and juices, but my body wants to just lay down. SOON

    I like to sacrifice a goat to the dark lord and sleep it off.

    I don't. I just take my meds, and act miserable until I get better.

    I just deal with it and be miserable until I get better I guess.

    >>> The 99% of the times i get sick is because I ate something bad. Thankfully with just throwing up the stuff I ate I solve the problem..
