Very impatiently. I get incredibly frustrated because I CAN'T lay in bed all day to try to get well. . . the only time I can take it easy is when I've VERY SICK. There are too many things that have to be done. . . and I feel lousy . . . so yeah. . I get very frustrated with my body. I hate hate hate being sick. I've never been so sick so often in my life until lately. bleh

mostly, i try to pretend i'm not sick,
but with C.O.P.D. that's almost impossible.

Never give up, never surrender. It it is something that feels like sinuses, the chiropractor sometimes helps. Once fully overrun with sickness though its time to see the doc...

I turn into a whiny, sulky, little bitch of a child. If I have a high fever, I get delusional and argue with myself.

Hope you feel better soon, bro. =)

Curl up in a ball, try to sleep and hope to die quickly and quietly. :P

I don't.. I'm a whiney mess that lays all day on the couch, sleep, watch tv whine... sometime in the evening I'll go to bed and do the same thing.. repeat as necessary..

Bed rest, bunny slippers and tea.

I accept it. I try not to fight it and I just take care of my body the best way possible. I go out of my way to be nice to myself and warn people that I'm sick and may not be able to hang out. Then I stay in and eat soup and watch movies. I try to make it kind of balance out. Being sick sucks so I might as well do things I enjoy.

It also depends on how sick I am and with what. I take it a day at a time and do what I can. I dont give myself a hard time if I cant do the things I need to do and most importantly I ask people for help when I need it.

Generally, I don't. With PCOS and it's many related blah's, I've pretty much been ill every day for almost 13 years. Mostly I just have to accept each day as it comes and take comfort in tea and chocolate/ice cream/sleep. And ridaibhi huggles. Dave huggles always work.

I'm lucky. I don't get sick. If I do I normally get rid of any illness within 24 hours because I just don't do illness

I'm a mom. I don't have time to be sick.

I whine mostly. I do a self pity party if I have the time:)

The anon comment was mine.

I'm usually pretty good. I plod on. Ride it out.

However, when I'm throwing up. It's entirely a different scenario. I panic, cry for my mommy, walk around with a bowl beneath my chin and chant "I'm going to be sick, I'm going to be sick!"
