Sorry to hear you’ve been sick lately! The best thing I know to do for a fever is drink LOTS of water and get lots of rest…I wish I could be of more help! I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for all the support. I’m feeling a lot better today. Thanks to lots of water, and a little healthy exercise with some positive attitude.

Spin Diva: The last time i bought Naproxen was 10 years ago in Scotland. Didn’t know it was sold here. Sadly i might have some left.

Dave: I originally got an ulcer from stress, pain, and treating that pain with Ibuprofen too. Hope your mom is doing better. I’ve heard many people swearing by Nexium. For treatment and preventative. They mess with your entire system. I swear Ibuprofen should not be prescribed in large quantities.

Andrea: Thanks for the support. Nothing like the present and future to get your mind off the blegh =)

AWWWW poor thing. I hope you feel better soon. That really sucks. I hate being sick too so I know how you feel. TRAPPED!! UGH.

In that bucket list… set some goals for yourself. it helps to have short term and long term goals.

As for what lowers your temp… hmmm, obviously your body is fighting something but 103 is certainly high. With Ibuprophen off the list, that leaves naproxen and tylenol but ask your doctor first of course.

Drink lots of water to stay hydrated and rest. Hopefully soon you’ll have some answers.

Best,
Terie

Ouch, be careful with the ulcer and the pills. My mom had one last year and was in the hospital for a month (during Christmas and New Year’s). The problem was she was using Motrin to ease the pain of arthritis but at the same time it was eating a hole in her stomach. Please…be mindful of that.

Hope your health starts to turn around and soon. It’s no fun being sick

I’m so sorry you haven’t been feeling well. Not feeling well is really draining. I hope you’ll feel better soon and that you’ll get some answers.

And yes, living in the moment but also setting some goals are both so important. Otherwise life can become overwhelming.

I hope you’ll feel better soon!
