Hey everyone, I'm feeling really really poo - all run down and sorry for myself! I have a supervision (for which I've hardly done anything|) tomorrow and a stats exam on monday which I have to pass. Does anyone have any good ideas about how to stop my brain feeling like damp wool and to get the information in there?!

I heard caffeine's supposed to be good but I'm not sure?

Sleep is the best medicine.

I know how you feel. Having an awful week myself - no exam but no progress on my work. There seem to be new obstacles every day and so far I haven't found a way to work around them. I crave chocolate and what I really want to do just now is go home and watch TV.

I had a cold last weekend and I always find that going for a walk helps. 20 minutes of fresh air will certainly clear your mind and help your cold get better. Maybe I should walk around a bit myself?

Hey guys! Man o man, I wish I could sleep, all I want to do is sleep, but I can't...have soooo much to do :*(

If you are feeling really grotty then make sure you have lots of water and get lots of vitamin C that should help along with a good nights sleep.

Choclate will perk you up but with the sugar high you get a sugar low which will result in you feeling more crappy probably

Well, I could suggest Echinacea, but you may as well swallow your money.

Seriously though, the best things (with studies to support them no less) are antioxidant Vits C and E, and also chicken soup. Apparently, the chicken soup contains high levels of certain amino acids (cysteine perhaps), which help with a cold. Apparently, taking both of these can reduce the duration of a cold by up to 40%.

Tricky dont say that about chocolate!!! Especially choco donuts they are very good for you get them in while your still young enough to not notice it

Chocolate donuts are logically good for a cold. They have a spongy, porous texture, which allows absorption of mucus and pathogens. The donuts could therefore act like asupermegagiant macrophage. Perhaps.

Wow Matthew you may have actually put me of anyting spongy for life...gross!!!
