When I am sick, all I want is the comfort of my own bed and some homemade chicken soup. While I like to commiserate in my lonesome, for some reason it's your creature comforts that make you feel taken care of and nourished even if you're all by yourself. So do tell, what's the formula that makes you feel better when you are under the weather?

Sleep, eat soup, relax and sleep. Or I could take medication if it's only a muscle pain or headache. Or if flu, I take Nyquil.
1I prefer to have someone to take care of me when I'm sick, but if I'm alone I like a hot bowl of soup, plenty of cold water, a fuzzy warm blanket, and quiet so I can sleep.
2I like to lay on the couch with a fuzzy blanket, eat some chicken soup, watch some TV or read a book, and of course cuddle with my guinea pigs; They always love to cuddle when I'm not feeling well.
3Being left alone. Don't ask me how I'm feeling, don't try to cuddle me and pamper me. Just let me sit wherever is most comfortable at that moment and leave it at that.

5I agree with Greggie! Also some soup, cold water, tea, and a comfy blanket and I'm good to go! Oh, and you can't forget the medication!
6Oh and meds. I stock up on non-prescription drugs and lots of Nyquil and knock myself out until I feel better.
7Sex & the City and Mrs. Grass's Chicken Noodle Soup with extra noodles and Glacier Freeze Gatorade on my couch at home, not at school. Works every time... Oh yeah, and whatever motrin product is needed (allergy, ibprofin, etc....)
8Theraflu, being cozy on the couch with blankets watching junk tv or favorite movies.
9Yep, theraflu is also my go to medicine everytime. And pho, which is sort of the Vietnamese equivalent of chicken soup. Plus lots of juice with 120% vitamin C. Then sleep, sleep, sleep.
10I love to lay on my sofa with my pillow, watch tv, drink gatoraid "Ice" and eat saltine crackers.
11a huuuuge bowl of pastina with lots of butter, bad daytime TV, and a comfy blanket!
12Tea, bed, and meds that make me drowsy.
13When I'm sick my little boy rubs my hair!!
It makes everything all better!
14I make myself some chicken soup and my hubby makes a bed for me on the couch and puts on movies for me. I like to sleep while I'm watching the movies (cold medicine sleep is the best sleep) and just stay comfy. mmmm now I want to be sick. lol
15I like to be on my own and lay on the couch with a blanket and watch a movie!
16I like to be on the couch, drink tea, read junk magazines and watch favorite movies like 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'. My fiance makes me anything I want to eat, but usually I want chicken broth with egg whites cooked in it.
17Being left alone, like others. My little boy always tries to help me feel better when I'm sick by cuddling with me, but most of the time I like to just lay in bed and take little naps, eat saltine crackers and read magazines.
18Dragging my pillow and comforter out to my couch and watching animated movies. I think its because when I was sick as a kid I always wanted to watch movies while I was home from school!
19I lay on the couch, eat toast with applesauce, and drink tea. When I was younger, I would play Scrabble with my mom when I was sick. That always made me feel better.
20I lay on the couch with my big blue comforter from college and have my day- and ny-quils at the ready along with my fave movies and I just try to rest. I don't tend to eat a lot when I am sick, so no soup or crackers for me.
21I stay in bed with my teddy bear, read old British authors like Dickens and Austen, and make my fiance peel me oranges so that they have none of that stringy white stuff on them. I hate stringy white stuff, and I hate peeling it off, and when I'm sick is the only time when I can guilt trip him into dealing with it for me.
22Snuggling on the couch wrapped in a blanket and watching tv between naps. I wish I was there right now as a matter of fact. I woke up with a cold and feel like crap. But here I am at work answering phones and trying not to spread my germs. I should put a sign on my door saying wash you hands after doing business in here, but I don't want anyone to think my office is the ladies room, lol.
23Chicken broth and jello and my boyfriend calling or stopping by to check on me.
24Lots and lots of bed rest, with the tv on, and my guy by my side... that does the trick!
25bundled up with a bunch of soft blankets with all my food within my hand's grasp and an entire season of a great show playing on my tv!
26staying in actually makes me feel worse. though i love staying in. best is to get fresh air
27Lots of sleep! Lots of comfort food! A good magazine, my cat, and a good movie.
28Sleep, drinking lots of water, medication, and ice cream. I don't know why, but ice cream always makes me feel better when I'm sick.
29Tylenol, hot soup in a glass so I can sip at it, a big comfy bed, and my cat Bert. Every time i get sick, Bert sleeps on my bed with me alll dayyyy.
30meds, some TLC from my boyfriend, some soup, and a nice comfortable bed to sleep on
