So, after two weeks off work (winter break), I went back to work on Monday (1/6/14). I made it through my work week at an elementary school where I work as a school secretary. So many of our students were absent due to the flu. I thought it wouldn't get me, but by Saturday, I had flu symptoms so severe that I felt like I was unable to breathe. This continued all day long. I asked my online friends to pray for me.
I tried everything including: making natural decongestant from radishes, onions, garlic, honey and lemon; drinking herbal tea; sucking on cough drops; eating chicken broth, etc. I even borrowed a vaporizer from my daughter, loaded it with Vicks and had it on all night long. I put the Vicks on the bottoms of my feet (as I had seen somewhere online).
When I woke up this morning (after all of the natural remedies that I tried) I do feel much better. My breathing problem has been reduced to a cough. The only thing I am really dealing with is a headache. All that to say that Yahweh loves his children. Flu symptoms come sometimes, and we need to know what to do. He showed me what I needed to do and for that I am thankful.
Oh, and one more thing, I really think the flu comes on many after the winter holiday break because we eat way too many sweets that totally beat up our immune systems. Sugar is our enemy, but I love it so much.
