			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just spent the past 36+ hours in bed, with a few minor exceptions (going to the bathroom 3x and eating 2x).  I don&#8217;t know what I am sick with, probably just a rogue case of fatigue, but here are some tips to help make being sick easier:</p>
<ul>
<li>Turn up the heat.  Your ability to be warm-blooded is probably weakened.  Does it seem like blankets and comforters don&#8217;t make you any warmer?</li>
<li>Wear socks.  I heard somewhere that one&#8217;s body temperature generally follows the temperature of one&#8217;s feet.  I normally don&#8217;t wear socks when I sleep (I feel they&#8217;re not as comfortable as not wearing them).  But socks will keep you warm.</li>
<li>Move your bed away from the windows.  You never know if drafts (that you&#8217;d normaly be insensitive to) are agitating you.  If your bed is right up against the wall/windows, move it away about 6 inches.</li>
<li>Take a lozenge.  For this particular illness, it hurt to swallow.  Taking a lozenge provides temporary relief.  It is also a mild anesthetic  so our mouth will be numb.</li>
<li>Drink lots of Fluid and take some Soup.</li>
<li>Avoid touching cold things and wear slippers or socks when roaming the house.</li>
<li>Flip the pillow over a bunch of times.  It&#8217;s nasty to reposition your head only to discover that you&#8217;ve just landed your cheek in a huge puddle of drool.  Flipping the pillow over allows time for the puddle to dissipate.</li>
<li>Listening to music is agitating.  Either don&#8217;t listen to any, or listen to soft music like opera or classical.</li>
<li>Have a glass of water, a box of tissues, and some spittage receptacle nearby.  That way you&#8217;re not thirsty, blowing your nose on blankets/sheets, and spitting on the floor.</li>
</ul>
<p>That&#8217;s all I can think of for now.  Stay well, everyone!</p>
