I think my body is falling apart.
 

I spent 2 weeks being sick, and a 3rd week with a nasty cough.

Now all of a sudden I have an infection in my finger, don't know where it came from..not a hang nail or anything. But woke up this morning it's all red and there's like a green pussy bubble around the nail...LOL

I'm making sure all my shit is up to date i.e. will, etc. Who knows what's next. Kidney failure?

it is new years weekend, and you will not be able to see a doctor except emergency room.

immediately go to a pharmacy and get a bottle of vitamin C tabs, 500 mg.

take 1 500 mg tablet every 4 hours and drink lots of water.

do this today.

you can thank me later.

I have powdered vitamin C granules I take, it's like vitamin c on steroids. Will this help with the infection?

Eros I had whatever it is you have. I too had a terrible nasty flu and sickness for 2 weeks followed with another week with a terrible nasty cough. The only thing that made it better is to drink lots of juices (especially orange juice, do what latina sojourn said and get some Vitamin C in pill form too) and get LOTS OF SLEEP.

Try not to over work yourself either. Rest as much as you can. You need to force yourself to rest even if you are a workaholic. It is the only way you will get fully better.

Whatever it was i had, it sound EXACTLY like what you had.

Well, I didn't have the finger thingie. I don't know wtf that is

take pics of ya finger...

yes, you are on the right track.

take as much vitamin C as you can until you have the runs, but take a minimum of 2000mg/day.

every 4 hours.

the human body wants to heal itself, and just about everything Linus Pauling says is correct.

You want me to poke at it and let it ooze too? :1orglaugh

Sounds good, will try it. I also have some antibiotic ointment I've been putting on it, and once I finish up some jobs here gonna soak it in some epsom salts.

good. take care of yourself.

and remember vitamin C. it is often overlooked, but it is usually just as effective as antibiotics for systemic illness.

the last time i was sick was about 1990, and i have not had so much as a cold since then.

i take 1500 mg of vitamin C (along with other vitamins) every single day.

don't just take vitamin C when you are sick, make it a lifestyle, you cannot overdose on it, excessive use will just cause loose bowel.

do the research, it is cheap and effective.
