I'm trying to smoke a maxium of three cigarettes per day while I'm sick. Yesterday was two.
I suppose that is a good way of thinking. I never really thought about it. I think that's why pot helps me so.. I don't concentrate on the pains and aches, I just relax.

Smoking some weed or doing stuff you like is a good way to keep your mind occupied and off of it though.
I remember using some chew and dip to replace the cigs for a while. It let my lungs clear up and feel so much better temporarily. Not that i would suggest doing that, it can become a worse habit than the smoking in time. I was even addicted to that stuff for about two years and somehow I ended back up smoking.

I've never chewed, and I don't plan on starting. I'm sure that does help throat pains, though.. just grosses me is all. my chances of throwing up would skyrocket if I tried that while sick. haha.
My throat tastes terrible.

I used to get terribly bad ear infections as a kid. So I have a stockpile of amoxicillin (sp?) pills. Whenever I even get the hint of symptoms beginning I down a pill or two. I haven't had a full blown case of the flu in years. Now I don't know if the pills still work, because some of them are pretty old, or is it acting as a placebo?
Who knows, but I'm glad I don't get sick. Shit, I haven't even been to the doctor in 6-7 years, and that was for a horrible in-grown toenail.

you think a flu is bad?
I have a doctor and a psychatrist who beleive that I show signs of introversion and psychosis. Every week I have to meet with the psychatrist and by the end of the month they will have decided if I belong in the loony bin or not.
edit: actually, I doubt they would lock me up

That can be bad too, I have spent some time in the loony bin when I was a minor. But having mental and physical problems at the same time sucks.

It is a long story, basically my parents wanted me to see a psychiatrist. I had some depression and anxiety issues. Anyways it was effecting my school to where I didn't want to show up, so the doctor had the authority to put me into the mental hospital for a while . This happened some time ago, I am in my 20s now.
