I have no idea what makes one person prey to everything going and another not - I put a lot of it down to the fact that I was brought up on cheese with the green bits cut off etc, so I've probably experienced most nasty bugs already. I never get sick on holiday either (apart from sun-related ailments) but to be frank, I'd rather have Bombay Bum and a tan.Lucy Fishwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468092971495182126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352411146204226127.post-26044911174723593022008-07-19T14:15:00.000+01:002008-07-19T14:15:00.000+01:00As someone with a constitution of paper, I am reas...As someone with a constitution of paper, I am reassured to hear that even those with constitutions of steel get the occasional cold!<BR/><BR/>Not that I don't wish you better soonest of course!The Poet Laura-eatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779308486569849157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352411146204226127.post-56739909284974108192008-07-19T13:29:00.000+01:002008-07-19T13:29:00.000+01:00Thanks hon!

I also combine medication, although I have a pathological fear of overdosing on paracetamol so I always read the labels carefully. A doctor mate told me that you can take the maximum recommended dosages of aspirin, paracetamol, ibuprofen and codeine AT THE SAME TIME as they don't have the same effects on the body, but it's a one-off emergency measure (ie hangover). Do I sound obsessed at all...?Lucy Fishwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468092971495182126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352411146204226127.post-34838590622801558362008-07-19T12:52:00.000+01:002008-07-19T12:52:00.000+01:00I'm all for the toddy and night nurse approaches. ...I'm all for the toddy and night nurse approaches.

In fact Rescue Remedy is just cheap brandy with some flavouring added, as I discovered when I took a huge gulp of it on a very turbulent flight once.
