Monday

I don't know what to do this morning .. the kettle's on .. and what tea bag do I choose. I'd like to stop the liquorice for a week and try tumeric and white tea .. but I know now that the sores at the back of my mouth might get worse and then the mycrophenolate might have to be increased to sort that out which means that my immune system would be further suppressed again.

But would that matter if I'm drinking teas that knock viruses back a bit. Well, it's obviously better if I can have less immune suppressant drugs as well as taking something that inhibits the virus so I guess I'm going to have to leave it.

So many people have been sneezing really loud heavy sneezes out there too in the last few days .. think we need some countrywise sneezing practice .. someone I know says it's just good manners not to let your sneezes run wild .. but it's not always practical to open a bag, delve into a pocket, in time to catch a sneeze .. and if you sneeze into your hand then you need to disable the virus to stop it being infectious .. I rub my hands together to try and damage the viruses so they can't infect anyone else or I try to sneeze into my shoulder .. I saw that someone else had suggested that too the other day.

I'm just doing anything I can to stop viruses from spreading .. and, then, if I get one, to stop it doing me much damage.

One thing I have noticed since I've started taking the teas is that my lips aren't so swollen .. something that used to be very obvious when I got up in the morning when a cold was as it's worst. That's stopped .. there's a bit of puffiness there but it's nothing like it was. It's obviously working .. no doubt about that .. with such a little bit too .. there's no need to take lots of the stuff .. I think, like paracetamol, it's not good for you if you do anyway.

I love the people at herbs-hands-healing cause they've set things out so well .. must be the only link I've put up 3 times so quickly .. but, if the manufacturers of these things don't tell you about the contraindications .. you can't say .. read the back of the packet or something so it's best to refer back to them.

I wish I knew what to do now .. me hospital visit has made things harder .. lol!! Just the one tea bag I guess. One of me friends has just come down with a nasty sickly bug .. she's not taking any herbs .. was something she'd just asked about .. will give her the sites addresses I think. I'm obviously in mid cold again too.

Oh well.
