Sorry to hear you're poorly, I'm hoping it's "just" a cold and doesn't develop into something even more unpleasant.<br />I'm afraid I've been very rude recently - I've been visiting but not commenting. Just in a rush, not a very good excuse really. Hope to see you back on form soon. Are you still well enough to crochet?andamentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338225798888415276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-15776093985368097632012-01-26T15:18:28.862-06:002012-01-26T15:18:28.862-06:00Thanks all!

Vitamin D usually helps, but last time I took it I experienced a rather unpleasant side effect. So I'm using grapeseed extract, and it seems to be keeping the symptoms somewhat in check.Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-68276511792158786352012-01-26T14:06:51.329-06:002012-01-26T14:06:51.329-06:00Oh dear, I do hope you feel better really soon xOh dear, I do hope you feel better really soon xAnniehttp://knitsofacto.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-3864078832185997772012-01-26T13:26:44.601-06:002012-01-26T13:26:44.601-06:00I do hope that you won't get the seriously sor...I do hope that you won't get the seriously sore throat that I have presently.

Best when you first feel it coming on, but works to lessen it if you already are into the cold. Recently the Goatfather had a cold and by doing this, the Goatmother never got it. Has happened several times this way. Other thing is to get some ginger root. Slice some up and place in hot water (as you would tea) and let steep for at least 10 minutes before starting to drink. Then sip throughout the day. You can sweeten it if you like, but it really helps. The Goatmother convinced the ever-resistant-to-new Goatfather to do this, and his cold was over fairly quickly. Stay warm! Just can't have Mrs. Micawber sick!Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109785080000770963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-47181779048059121682012-01-26T10:02:25.064-06:002012-01-26T10:02:25.064-06:00Get better soon!

Last Jan., Feb., and March, I had big-time-brochitis that was so hard to shake. -sigh-<br /><br />But this year, I have been taking Echanicia and it seems to be protecting me. So far.
