PLease Please send some of that special knowflake healing!
My very good friend has a full fledged cold, and took the last few days off of work....
I woke this morning with swollen nodes, ear and throat pain.. I have been in denial, as I have felt sub par for a couple of days now.... but I am trying to ignore it.
The timing is horrid!
I have a very important show at a frestival on Sunday, and everyone, everyone will be there!!!!!!!!
I have heard of echinacea, B vitamins, raspberry leaves... vit C....... What can I do????
I will not let this possibility ruin my show. it is tyoo important!
Bad timing, bad timing!!!!
I am so upset. PLease send me some intense fast healing.. even to put it off for a few days.. only until.. well, monday.. (when I start my holidays)
*I just sneezed twice in a row*
Damn Damn Damn!!!!!
Not fair!!!!!
I have worked every day for the last six, including back to back night to morning shifts.. I knew I'd run myself down!!!!!

Pixie darlin'...sending loads of light your way.

Now run to your local health food store and see what they might have. There are some new holistic products that can really help.

It's probably too late for echinacea, unless the health store has a tincture--ask them. If they do, take home the bottle (they're small), and mix the whole bottle into a fruit smoothie. The stuff tastes nasty so use lots of fruit and juices in the smoothie.

Beyond that, eat a lot of raw garlic. You can put that in a smoothie, too. I know, sounds gross, but garlic helps so much. It really kills a lot of nasty germs.

Avoid dairy, too.

1. avoid sugar at all costs

2. drink a lot of herbal tea

3. stay in bed and rest

I hope you get better soon!

Next time you go to your local HFS, buy Oscillococcinum. It's too late to take it now, because you are supposed to take it at the first sign of a cold or flu. Keep some in your purse, and some in your medecine cabinet at home. Then next time you're starting to feel sick, you'll be covered.

Oh Pixel,
I can understand how bad the timing is.
First, relax as much as you can, don't tighten up your throat more than it is already.
You need to drink hot water with lemon juice and honey; after that coat your neck with Vicks and wrap flannel or a soft old towel around your neck and rest with the blankets piled on to sweat it out.
You'll wake up feeling weak, so you'll need to drink smoothies and orange juice until you feel stronger.
You'll need to sing softly so you won't strain your voice again; let the microphone add the volume to your singing.
Hope this helps out.

Thank you all!
I love love love you.

I simply won't let it ruin anything. I will sing wonderfully, and that is all.

Home from work now, planning to stay in with the chitlins and watching a movie and relaxing, and drinking drinking drinking.. ( not alcohol, which is what I usually drink on Friday .)
OH! You know what was fun? On my way to work this morning, right after I posted this, something flew in my eye. It was red all day.
Wierdly, I still had a high happy day.
My friend is getting his tattoo tonight,( I helped design it) of a wolf in profile, howling at a full moon, with his daughters name on it.
And It's a full moon tonight. Isn't that neat?

Welcome singer + all those numbers!!! *edit.. singer2112.. LOL.. I couldn't remember
Thanks for the support and advice!

Did you try the 1/2 vinger 1/honey mixture. That is suppose to kill bateria and it is soothing.

Love and Light to you, Pixie!! You will be fine!

Pix, let the cold ruin your show. Seriously though, stressing out about is creating a viscous cycle that will only make you worse.

No, I won't let it.
I am not even stressing about the cold.....
I always stress before a show, it helps prepare me, I find it positive.. just as I work better with a fast paced environment. There is productive stress.. stress with a purpose.. be it positive or negative.. and this is purposeful.
I'll be fine, just hold onto the positives.
No worries.
Nothing will ruin this show. I will sing and then succumb to sickness another day.

Sending you positive vibes of the healing kind Pixie!
all those holistic things everybody mentioned works wonders, but me being a singer and with my Sun in Taurus and Mercury in Aries I'm susceptible to colds, so when I need a "quick fix" I use a Chloraseptic spray which works great!
I'd much prefer the natural stuff like echinacea or tea with honey and lemon or gargling(which I hate but have no choice).
So hope it's not too late to mention that.
Feel better sweetie!

Hi Pix

Did anyone mention vit c with ZINC and what I do at the first sign of a sore throat is neat lavender oil on the throat chest, along the jaw bone two or three times a day and raw garlic is good too,if you can eat it.

Sending healing

Love

WWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

I am home, and it went really really well!
Yes, Leo rising was out fully today, though I was humble going into it, much like spring, I went out with a roar!!!
Lots of people, lots of really positive feedback, on all counts!
I am really proud, actually.
I wanted to log on here and share.
Positive positive positive!!!
Thank you for the well wishes and tips.
I am sunburned, but happy and exhausted in a way which means I did well. Better than well.
