i live alone.

About once a year i fell really sick from the flu. it is usually a sore throat that becomes a runny nose and then really bad headaches and muscle aches. I try to make it to the doctor but usually im at the headache dizzy stage within 48 hours.

Then it gets too painful to walk and i find i cannot cook or eat or hold my food down.
I usually go somewhat catatonic with pain and pass in and out of delirum for about 2-3 days (i lose sense of time) before i somehow slowly make it back.

always happens to me so that is why im very very careful about over-exerting myself.

do you ever fall so sick you cannot cook or eat for yourself?

I just stock some canned chicken soups/beef soups/clam chowder, like from Campbell and Progressive. Just heat it up and ready to be served

You know a bowl of chicken Soup is the best flu and cold remedy.

Yeah, I know how you feel. Recently I was in bed with a fever and a headache and I was too sick to get out bed so I didn't have anything to eat until 4pm or something like that I forced myself to get out bed and get some food - all my apartmentmates were gone for the weekend so I was sick and alone

I don't think so .. when I'm sick, my mom gets all worried and cooks for me anyways

my problem is that i get sick and have absolutely no appetite, so i go for like a week without eating (just fluids)...lucky for me i live with my boyfriend so he takes care of me.

if i were you, i'd stock up on something easy to make (like bunny said, chicken soup) and some protein drinks occasionally (they fill me up pretty easily). stock up on fruits and such when you feel a flu coming on.
