I've been feeling sick for about a week now and it's driving me mad! Anyone got any ideas or things which help please?!

erm..
...morning sickness..
..tut tut - who's been a naughty girl?!

not sure if theres some sort of herb that helps nausea - there is something but i can't remember what it is im afraid - why not try the local health shop?

Oh no. I do hope you get better... you mean sick as in nauseous? There could be a variety of reasons... maybe you're lacking sleep, or be really stressed about something. You could have a cold or a virus, in which case you should ask your GP. If it's an on-off thing, perhaps you should do stuff to refresh yourself, like have a walk, have a shower, or just go out into the open air. And take some paracetamol. I'm not sure though, I hope that helped a bit.

Oh, and don't think about feeling sick. I know that's hard but (apparently) a lot of pain and nausea is caused by thinking you are.

Poor you - they say ginger tea is good for this, but not many people like it.
Is it worse if you try to eat? Or worse if you don't eat?
You might try lemon and ginger tea - you can buy teabags, I think Twinings make them. Or mint tea or suck a polo. Or maybe a slice of lemon in hot water.

try Ginger that is supposed to help nausea whatever the cause. :

ginger tea! thats the one! thanks maggie, at least i won't be fishing for that one all night!

I'll try ginger, I've been trying peppermint tea but that doesn't seem to work! It's ok during the day coz I can occupy my mind, just in the evening, when I'm trying to sleep and in the morning when I wake up. I don't know if it's worse eating or not eating, coz I usually make myself eat if I feel sick, coz I've had the feeling before except it was combined with other things so more debilitating. I couldn't do anything whereas now I can, just feel sick, that make sense?!

Another tjhought try Ginger biscuits sounds nicer than ginger tea. You can also buy things called travel bands from places like Boots or Superdrug which they reccomend for all types of Nausea including travelling. Not cheap about £8 but work for some people!

aren't magnets meant to help with some stuff too?

I have a magnet bracelet to help stiff joints.

crystallized ginger is good too....

here is some ginger to help you feel better..

Nearly had a heart attack! lol

hehe oopsy sorry! at least the shock might stop you feeling so sick!

Magnets are very good. Not only for sickness, but for arthritis and joint pain and stuff like that. They might be worth a shot.

Maybe you should see your doctor if you've been feeling sick for more than a week. Most bugs/viruses only last a few days. Hope you're feeling better soon.

hope you're feeling a bit better

Yes - hope so too. How's it going today?

I hope so too. Are you feeling any better today Elmo?

It isa bit better today I haven't eatne any ginger, but I found my magnet bracelet last night and this morning, so maybe it's working! It is worse after I eat, coz it was horrible after breakfast! (I haven't eaten lunch yet...)

Thanks

Aww noooo my little elmo isn't well

*hugs*

I hope you are better soon

I hope you feel better soon. Have you been to the doctor?

I'm not going to the doctor yet coz all they'll tell me to do is to monitor it for 2 weeks, then come back if it's still not right and they'll run tests. If it's still happening in 2 weeks, I'll tell them I've monitored it for 2 weeks, and it'll save some hassle!

I bet if you're head was hanging of, they'd tell you "monitor it for 2 weeks and tehn come back"

Oh well hope you feel much better soon

Yes, hope you feel better soon!

see that's not quite as scary as the ginger friend i sent you yesterday is it?!
hope you're feeling better
