I'm so sorry to hear that you've been ill. It's interesting that you've found a strong cup of coffee was the best way to calm your nighttime coughs. I guess it's a toss up whether you are kept up by a jolt of caffeine or coughing, either way sleep likely isn't going to be peaceful for you. My sister's father-in-law was pestered by a persistent coffee for months, it was especially bothersome at night. He found that sipping rye was good way to calm his coughing. Thankfully, the cough finally went away. I hope that you are feeling better very soon and thanks so much for writing in. Cheers, Lori Hi Eric!

I have recently been ill with a viral infection (H1N1? - maybe) and the only good antidote to my nighttime coughing fits was a strong cup of coffee. This was of course preceded by a dinner of chicken soup and kreplach! I was checking for a particular view of coffee culture and came upon your sight.

I'm so sorry to hear you're down with the flu! That's terrible. Have you been to see your doctor? Like everybody else, I've got a few remedies handed down through the family. Some of them are pretty simple like lots of fluids and keep warm. My hubby and I make a lemon drink when we have a head cold. The recipe: fresh lemon, fresh ginger, a little bit of honey and hot water. You grate the ginger into the drink. The ginger will be strong but man, oh, man does it help to clear stuff out! Thanks for your sympathy and right back atcha, my friend! Wellness soon!! Hi Ryan!

I don't know what to do really...I feel awful, and just got tired of being tired and sleeping in my bed.

Thanks for reading my blog! I'm feeling much better now. It was a really nasty virus. Hope that you and your husband have remained flu free and will remain well until well after the holiday season. What kind of coffee does your husband like to drink? Cheers, Lori Hi Geri!

The problem is it's a diuretic and it's probably not the best thing to be taking when you're sick because you don't want to get dehyrated. I've got some info on colds if you're interested, so when the next one hits, at least you'll be prepared. Hope you feel better! My husband loves coffee too.
