What do you do when you're sick but don't want to go to the doctor?
My solution is pretty simple: put on a sweatshirt and drink all the orange juice I can find. I have no idea if this makes any scientific sense, but it tends to make me feel better. |

Re: diy healthcare
Orange juice + Aleve + Afrin usually does the trick for me.

Orange juice and lots of it. Sometimes aspirin if a headache is involved. Chicken noodle soup if it's a cold.

Combo of OJ/or vitamin C pills if my throat is really sore, then Nyquil and vicks on my chest when i sleep. This has basically cured every cold i've had for the last 10 years.
Also i'm definitely in the take a hot shower, then soak in the tub camp. |

Re: diy healthcare
I never go to the doctor, I'm like you evidently.
Chicken soup, cola or ginger ale, tylenol, ritz crackers and perhaps some gouda, vodka +cranberry at nite if i can't sleep, half bottle of Nyquil if I really can't sleep. |

Re: diy healthcare
DIY health care for a cold isn't really all that interesting. i mean i just try to do all the stuff that i probably forgot to do that got me sick in the first place, like stay hydrated, get lots of vitamins or take supplements, stay very clean, get lots of sleep.
when i opened this thread i was expecting stuff about improvising splints or something. |

I'm not going to go into the exact details, but I'll tell you that it involved condensed air, styrofoam, electrical tape, a lighter and a butcher's knife. |
