AHHHHHH!!!! Starting to feel like I'm catching a cold and the test is on Saturday.

Airborne & Orange Juice.

.

NyQuil

Check out Emergen-C too if it's around you - 1000mg/packet that you can pour into a glass of water once or twice a day, easy way to get the Vitamin C down.

This probably isn't what you're looking for but, just in case the worse happens...

I find that when I have a cold/serious sinus congestion that would cause someone to reasonable say "I'm sick" and stay home from work/school, it actually doesn't affect my brain, as far as I can tell.

Sure I feel like shit physically, but if you just get your head into what you're doing, it won't affect you as much as you think it will.

I feel your pain. I test Saturday too and just caught pinkeye from one of my three students that had it. My eye is killing me trying to drill.

i got mono about 10 days ago. it sucks balls, but mostly because its in the back of your mind. "oh no, im sick, i wont be able to think clearly." Do everything you can to feel better, and do your best to finish all the studying you need to finish

Vitamin C doesn't have much of an effect on rhinoviruses. Honestly, I've had amazing results with zinc in the form of Zicam. Everyone at my school recently got sick. At the first sign of sickness, I started taking zinc. I got congested but never had a sore throat, and I was mostly over it in like two days.

I highly recommend it.

Don't take (just) my word for it:

NNNOOOO! Too close to test day. Last time I took that I had trouble for like two days with some basic questions

If it's a serious issue, go to the hospital and get some hardcore antibiotics IV'd into you. It's not recommended practice, but dire times call for dire measures.

All that vitamin c shit won't work fast enough.

Yeah right!! You get up and you take that test!

Your body only has so much energy. Give as much of it as you can to your immune system.

Plan:

Eat chicken noodle soup.
Drink emergen-C.
Drink several glasses of water.
Take a hot bath.
Go to sleep.
Spend all day tomorrow on the couch. Watch shit that makes you laugh. Eat good healthy food. Stay hydrated. Drink another emergen-C.
Repeat steps 1-5.
Repeat all again the next day as necessary.

Hopefully you will get better and be ready and clear headed for the test.

lots of sleep and lots of fluids

i know some people who eat like raw garlic and chilis when they get sick and swear it works
but it kinda sounds like new age flame to me

+1

Y'all should see my desk right now at work. I have like ten cups of water - four of them designated to be the Emergen-C cups, four for chugging some water and the other just to make it an even ten.

Also have some dayquil because... I actually don't know why I have dayquil.

Oh and some Airborne that I took this morning.

As of now, my sore throat is gone, but my sinuses feel clogged and I am definitely groggy. I think the grogginess is a carryover from taking NyQuil last night, which I regret. I pretty much woke up and walked into a wall this morning trying to get ready from work.

I already am taking a vacation day Friday, the day before the test, but I am seriously contemplating taking tomorrow off as well as a sick day, just to give myself time to sleep this shit off. To be honest, it isn't that bad compared to being sick without the reality of the LSAT in a couple days in the back of my mind. But the fact that I KNOW the LSAT is in a couple days, makes this much worse, to the point of hypochondria. FML right?
