What you do when you're down with the illness...

[zagazsano]

Some people stay in bed, some drink gallons of orange juice, or maybe they fake it and just sit and play games...
So Escapists, what do you do when you're ill?

 

[Jedoro]

I suck it up and go about my day, not even joking. Maybe take some Tylenol if my headache's keeping me from even standing, but most times I'm sick I just tough it out.

 

[Caiti Voltaire]

To me that is... basically asking me what I do anytime, ever, given my condition. But when Im in a particularly bad spell I'll generally make myself some tea with honey and just curl up in bed and rest.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

I'm hardcore bitches! Ain't no ebola, or whatever is gonna stop me from gaming...
[sub]Unless, you know, It's like that time I got appendicitis, nothing makes you not want to play games more than your appendix trying to feckin' randomly kill you.[/sub]

 

[Pariah87]

If someones down with the sickness I suggest they open up their hate and let it flow into me.

On topic, if it's something in my head (around once a year my sinuses get fucked leaving me with a several week cold/cough) then I get pretty much incapaciated. Break a bone and I'm fine, get lacerated and I'm fine, give me a blocked up head and a migraine and I'm a nightmare. For the most part I stay in my room, don't eat, drink or do anything except try and sleep and put so much albas oil on the pillow it would make an onion jealous.

 

[S.R.S.]

Stay in bed, mostly. Listen to music.

 

[The Undoer]

Honey, Lemon Juice, and Whiskey - That or a black coffee, and I'll do that whilst playing a Strategy game or RPG. On the other hand I might be lying in bed watching Seth McFarlane cartoons, or Doctor Who.

Damnit Ninja'd

OT: I just go about my day. I might take the day off school if im really sick though cause theres no pointing in going if you cant concentrate on whats going on

 

[Banana Phone Man]

Try playing clever RTS's on a hard difficulty so I have to think a lot so it takes my mind on how ill I am unless I have a major headache. Or a game with an imersive story works just as well (HL2 is my usual game to play when ill)

 

[Jinx_Dragon]

Rarely I get ill and the few times I do... well I continue on as if I am not ill. It has to be a major sickness to get me to recuperate. The benefits of coming from a land trying to kill you, a hearty constitution.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Down with the illness? Don't you mean... oh nevermind... that would be stupid...

I sleep. A lot. And then I game if I don't have a headache.

Same.

 

[DazZ.]

Play games all day.
Same as I do when I'm well.

How wonderfully pathetic.

 

[Aerodynamic]

Take medicine, do everything I regularly do.

 

[quiet_samurai]

Get up and go to work because I'm a fucking trooper.

and

Also, because I use my sick days for things besides being sick.

 

[Aur0ra145]

Pretty much I just say 'fuck it' and keep on going with work/school. See, the courses I'm in I can't really miss b/c they're so difficult.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Depends on how bad it is...

 

[Caiti Voltaire]

Heh, I hear that, except that I have never taken a sick day ever which hasn't involved me being near-dead in a hospital.

 

[Slayer_2]

I keep going. I went to school with the swine flu, survived half the day too. And I had a Bio test :|

 

[lwm3398]

I'm not usually at all sick enough to justify staying home from whatever I had to do. I usually drink for 1 person orange juices a day and do my normal stuff.
