When I'm sick with a cough/headache/ anything that doesn't make me feel sick I rotate between videogames and the Escapist.

If I am sick sick them I'll curl up in bed with a hot water bottle, a cup of tea and stick on a Top Gear DVD and go to sleep. I usually awake feeling better.

I lay in bed clutching a bottle of cough syrup in one hand, and a bottle of Advil in the other. After about a hour of a cough syrup pill popping game I play, I pass out. Then I wake up and move on with my life.

Normally I complain a bit then take some drugs and try to go to sleep. If that doesn't work video games.

I drink water and lie down for a while, with a probable addition of some medicine depending upon what I am sick with. That usually takes care of everything. :3

Depends.

Respiratory illness: Video games and movies.

Stomach/intestinal illness: Pray for death to take me.

(I don't do nausea well)
Basically this is the same for me. The only difference really is that instead of movies I do school work because I miss one day and I'm about 3 days behind in work since so much is covered in class, and we have block schedule. Or I will try and get the most sleep I can and see if I can be in a cold place because I always feel better for some reason in the cold. No idea why.

I like to lay in bed all day and read when I'm sick. Last time I was ill (which was quite a while ago, thankfully) I reread the entire Harry Potter series.

I feel like crap so often, I can never really tell when I'm struck with an illness. So I'm guessing whenever I've been sick lately, I end up functioning like nothing's going on.

I either sit down and watch one of my DVDs of a series, or I get some sleep. Usually both, depending on how sick I am.

If I am sick on a weekday, I have to suck it up and go to lectures and labs, otherwise I will feel bad that my project partner has to carry my weight for the day, and the guilt makes me feel worse. If I am sick on a weekend, I stay in bed, nap, then play on either the DS or PSP and watch Vincent D'Onofrio movies on my little DVD player. I also make sure I have plenty of fluids and at least a little bit of toast to eat.

hot blackcurrant or orange squash with paracetemol dissolved in it. Drink, curl up on the sofa with a cosy blanket, then after a good night's sleep feel right as rain ^_^

Oh OK when i have a headache i stay as FAR AWAY FROM ADVIL AS POSSIBLE because it pretty much forces me to vomit until I'm unconscious, when my throat is really soar and I'm drained of all my energy (they always appear hand in hand for me) I keep a 2L bottle of Dr.pepper and a large supply of mars bars near me because the Dr.pepper fixes my throat (I swear to you it works) and the Mars bars keeps my energy up and the one time I had MONTEZUMA'S REVENGE umm it resulted in me vomiting (among other things) for 5 hours even after i had nothing left in me and then i refused to eat for about 2 weeks resulting in me getting thinner than i already was.
