Default Food for the sickly?

I've got a hideous cold... the good thing about having a cold is that
it gives me licence to eat dessert for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (I
crave sweet custardy/dairyish foods like pudding and icecream)... the
bad thing is that I don't really want ANYTHING (and DH still needs to
be fed...) I'm eating some homemade chocolate mousse and all I can
really taste is the sweetness...
What's something quick and easy to tempt myself with tomorrow?

Doctors say crank up the liquids, and everyone knows chicken soup cures
everything. Sounds like you want to stay sick. Are you hating your job
lately? :-)

Should'a taken Cold FX at the very first sign of the cold and then you
wouldn't be suffering right now.
I havn't had a cold in 2 years since taking it this way.
Lovin' it!

I don't have a job to hate :P Soup would be good... but then I'd have
to cook it and I think that would take more energy than I have to
spare

If you're desperate, Swanson's low-salt no MSG chicken broth's not a bad
starting point. Put 10 cans of it into a pot, add diced carrots, sliced
celery and a shitload of pepper. Simmer the veggies. Have two shots of
whiskey. Taste the soup, adjust seasoning, throw in some little noodles that
cook in 3 minutes. Eat.

When i'm sick, I like to boil rice in double the usual amount of stock
and eat it as a soupy kinda ricey dish. Simple - put it on the stove,
set the timer for 20 mins, crawl back out of bed to eat it again.

If you want something custardy, how about a simple crustless quiche?
Whisk together 2 eggs and 2/3 c milk/cream/half&half. Pour into a
small baking dish, over some shredded cheese. Custardy but with
protein and calcium for ya. Bake for 20 - 30 minutes at 350.

And soup DOES come in cans.......not abad option when you're ill.

If you really don't feel up to cooking a good soup from scratch
(including fresh stock), canned soups will do in a pinch.

Crack an egg into a bowl, then heat some salty chicken broth (I use
Goya powdered boullion) to a rolling boil and pour it over the egg.
The white will set in seconds. Break the yolk as you slurp down the
broth.

I make chicken-flavored ramen with an egg poached in the broth when I'm
under the weather. I like to load it up with chile-garlic sauce (a.k.a.
Sriracha), but that might be a bit too much for other people.

DH went to the store and brought home some Progresso today because he
didn't think I'd want to cook anything... first time I've had canned
soup in YEARS! I had the low-sodium chicken noodle and it wasn't bad,
but if that was 50% the salt I'd HATE to think what their regular
varieties taste like!

colds can be the easiest to work through.

At night while sick.. wear a night cap. (or stocking cap)
Wear loose socks.. or.. make sure your feet are warm.

Avoid empty carbs.. this is just more work on your body... without the
bang!

Your body is working hard to remove the germs.. it does this using
your white cells.
So it's important to have some water yes...

The reason chicken soup seems to soothe many cold symptoms...
1. it's hot
2. it's fuild
3. it's salty... and we all know salt make you retain water.

Water retention is not bad when you have a cold.

Listen to your body... except for the part about reaching for empty
carbs.. especially sugary carbs. IOW's if you thought that cup of
noodle soup was banging! have another. Don't monitor your salt
intake.. rather.. listen to your body.

I"ve noticed I consume large amounts of salt during a cold... or at
least a few heavier doses... this can run your pressure up.. pending
on your state prior to getting sick.

and finally... depending on how bad the cold is... if you have a
fever.. take advantage of your raised body temp... you can speed up
the part where a fever breaks by having a hot tottie, then go get
under the covers and sweat.

Grab some cold medicine to suppress the symptoms... but be careful,
pills that dry you up.. (to where you get cotton mouth) in retro can
make you constipated.
Pills don't cure a cold, they just dry you up, and relieve aches.
I realize you know that.

Keep your feet warm, if you have to go outside, wrap up good...
Head, ears, throat, chest and hands... you don't need any drafts on
your body.
Reason. Cold body parts become an infection magnet. Hot body parts
means your white cells are not burdened occupied in their duty of
removing germs for lack of a better word.

Get Well!

Barry

Our heads make up 1/3 of our body weight.
One stocking hat keeps one third of your body warm.

Warm socks.. to keep your feet extra warm as you get in and out of bed
to use the bathroom, raid the fridge, check your emails.. etc... Just
a good blanket policy.

ESPECIALLY THEN

If you've never tried it, you'll be surprised at how a cap will warm
your heart.
It's also a comfort to the heart... as in...

Rock Me to Sleep, Mother

Backward, turn backward, O Time in thy flight
Make me a child again, just for tonight
Mother, come back from the echo less shore
Take me again to your heart as of yore.


Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair
Over my slumber your loving watch keep, ---
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep

Over my heart in days that are flown
No love like mother love ever was shown
No other worship abides and endures
Faithful unselfish and patient like yours

None like a mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul and the world weary brain
Slumber soft love ore my heavy lids creep
Rock me to sleep mother rock me to sleep

Mother dear mother the years have been long
Since I last hushed to your lullaby song
Sing them and unto my sole it shall seep
Womanhood's years have been only a dream

Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace
With your light lashes just sweeping my face
Never here after to wake or to weep
Rock me to sleep mother rock me to sleep

I need a hug

When I first read this, I saw, "to keep your extra feet warm" and I
wondered if you had been keeping something from me.

Are you so stupid that you don't realize you need to keep warm when you are
sick? So that your system is pouring its resources into fighting the
sickness rather than keeping you warm?

How old are you?

Idiot. Do you realize that children can withstand fever temps that are
dangerous for adults? Do you realize that even though you may not want to
medicate when you have a fever, you *do* want to let your head cool off, in
the same way you want to shade your head on a very hot day?

Actually, children don't tolerate a high fevers as well as adults can
because of their immature thermal regulation system. Infantile febrile
seizures are one complication, for example.
We always try to use nature before medication for temps. That often
means anything from simply uncovering the patient to the use of cooling
blankets.
If the patient is shivering, we can even medicate them to halt that as
the work of shivering itself raises body temps.

I like chicken broth (canned will even do in a pinch) with green onion
slices and a splash of sherry when I'm feeling sick.

When someone's got a high fever, do you put something on their head to keep
them nice and hot?

No, no.. you were right on that point. I just wanted to clarify about
the kids temps.
Now if someone is cold (actual hypothermic, and not just feeling cold
and shivering which can be from a rising temp) the head should be
covered if possible.

I suspected that

tell me you didn't learn something

and it's not medical advise, it's common sense.

bet you cover your head next time you ain't feeling well..

why put extra work on the heart, don't let all the generated heat out
the roof

your heart is a stand alone generator, that's why you have heat in
your body, it all starts with the heart. Now if two lie together; they
will have extra heat. That's cause when you add even one, you move
into multiplication not addition.

I'm sure you cannot explain that. I can, but you're not worthy.

yes and no, it depends on..

the room they are in
and the actual temp
and physical symptoms

if my head is hot, i take my cap off

why do you want or need things in black and white?
just to be trite?

That's the wrong way to use that word. And if you wonder about something you
do not "wander." Wandering is what you are out doing when other people are
working for a living. HTH. HAND.

The kids' temp thing - must be a new discovery? This is the opposite of what
I've gotten from:

- My son's pediatrician and the RNs in his office
- My internist
- Books from various questionable sources like Mayo Clinic, Red Cross, etc.

Not asking anything these days, since the kid's 17 and refuses to go to a
doctor unless he has a car embedded in his chest. But, when he was little,
his first 103 fever got me on the phone fast, where I was told "That temp:
Worse for adults than for kids".

***YOU**** stated the hat nonsense as a general rule. Here's the rule: You
make people comfortable. If they have a fever and you think their judgement
is being affected, you do what's right. If their judgement is affected,
their fever's too high, and you DO NOT cook their heads.

Perhaps your head was cooked when you were a child.

what if they ask for a hat
will you deny them the rich comfort of a hat Joe?
Because you decide their temp has rendered them stupid?
What you gonna do? ask them how many fingers your holding up?
lmao

If they have 102 fever, they do not get a hat. That's stupid.

Now, I need to know who taught you that putting a hat on someone with a
fever is a good idea.

I never said that, you made that part up, but lets suppose I did say
that... AND
let's suppose the sick are in a poorly heated and drafty house...

You think we should let icy cold beams of wind whip their hot scalp?
That's just inviting extreme discomfort followed by hallucinations.

REMEMBER DOCTOR The human head is one third of our body weight.

Let's introduce LOTS of new factors in order to support dumb ideas. What if
the person's in a snow cave with exotic ants chewing their elbows?

If someone's out in the hot sun without a hat, and says they feel dizzy,
what do you do?
