Hi hun, sounds like we have the same thing, nasty stuff. I would say try one of those meds that stop the cold before it gets worse. Also buy some effervescent Vitamin C 1000mg to stop it getting worse too, avail from pharmacies it dissolves in water

Thats good hun, im sure you'll be fine, the Vit C will be a good boost to stop it from getting worse x

by MrsMartini 9th February 2009, 1:02 pm

Oh no!!! Fingers crossed it's just a 24 hour thing!

I was paranoid about getting ill before mine. I took vitamin C, ate loads of fresh fruit & veg, & drank plenty of water. I used that First Defence nasal spray too, and that antibacterial hand gel obsessively!

Hope you feel better soon hun! Big hugs!

Hey hun.

Hopefully you're right and it's a 24/48 hour thing and you'll start to feel better soon.

Fingers crossed for you. You still have a few days to recover - get as much rest as you can, drink plenty of fluids and eat healthy things - lots of fish if you can.

I get that feeling if i nap too, glad you're feeling better, drink lots of fluids to flush it all out hun x

by **ShootingStar** 9th February 2009, 5:16 pm

Oh Hun!

I do hope you feel better quickly and especially before your BA in a few days.

I hear alot of girls saying about getting ill just before their BA's, poor you to be suffering aswell, you must be so worried but you have to be positive and think to yourself "I will be fine"

I guess you're a bit run down being so close to the op & all the highs & lows that you're going through so try & relax as much as you can and drink loads of water to get rid of any nasties.

Keep us updated how you're feeling and i'm wishing you well Dr Lurve

Hey Amanda, I echo the girls

lots of fluids, vitamin c and rest and fingers crossed for you xx

by Optima 9th February 2009, 8:04 pm

Oh poor you, how stressful! Fingers crossed you'll be better by the morning

by BlondeBarbie 9th February 2009, 10:11 pm

I hope your feeling better soon :) i was told to contact the nurse at the clinic if i got a cold before my op xx

by Angelpie 9th February 2009, 10:20 pm

Oh goodness, I hope you are ok. As the other girls have said... plenty of fluids and try to maintain a good positive mental attitude.. it's amazing the power our minds have.

Take care. xx

by _Carrie_ 9th February 2009, 10:56 pm

Oh pants!!! Hope you shake it off soon....I'm sure you'll be feeling much better by Thurs/Fri.

Just to double check - I read in some blurb from Mybreast that you're not supposed to take anti-inflammatories before your ba either (ie ibruprofen, nurofen etc) and I didn't know that - thought it was just aspirin but apparently you shouldn't take either for a fortnight before. So maybe check all the meds hubby has got you?

Hope you're better soon

I dont know how i managed to miss this post yesterday Rolling Eyes

Thats good that you dont think its flu tho isnt it? It could just be your bodies way of reacting to the stress/excitement of the whole thing, the whole mix of emotions etc.

Aw i really hope your feeling better soon Hug

by BoobiePrize 10th February 2009, 6:40 pm

It gets worse before it getters better hun, hope your meds start working for you soon xxxxx

by amanda2k10 10th February 2009, 7:05 pm

hi girls, i have had lots of rest today and feel much better than this morning and a million times better than yesterday sooo fingers crossed will feel even better tomorrow.
i have done nothing today so i think that helped, with me having 4 kids its difficult to rest sometimes.
thanks for your lovely comments im very gratefull and dont know what i would have done without you!
hugs

Hiya hun

I had the same a week before my BA and they told me that as long as you don't have a chest infection or a fever they'll still go on with the op.

I asked my CC about me taking Vitamin C before my ba and she put me on to the nurse and the nurse said no tablet form of Vit C as it thins the blood.

BUT the one thing I used and will swear by for now on is Manuka Honey. It's a bit pricey but it really does do the trick. It actually is a antibac honey and when I was feeling dodgy I took a teaspoon 3x a day (At least) and I even got my hubby to use it now and thats a rareity(sp?)

Glad your feeling a bit better anyways, bet you can't wait until Friday EEKKK! Hug

by **nads** 10th February 2009, 9:42 pm

Oooh i've never heard of Vit C being a blood thinner, i know aspirin, vit E and bromlein are and thats why i was told not to take it before op, surely vit C is found in oranges, strawberries which i ate loads before my op, i'm going to ask my ps about that x

by swtsimplicity 10th February 2009, 9:58 pm

yeah the nurse said eatting fresh friut like oranges, strawberries etc that had vitamin c was okay but not in excess, but she did stress not to take the tablets.

Maybe because you get a higher dose with the tablet???

I think your RDA for Vit C is 75mg. So if your taking 1000mg tablets then is way overkill in the first place, whereas if you eat it fresh you'll find a average orange has 70mg, strawberries are roughly 7mg each, papaya has 47 etc....so your on the safe side

At least this is why I'm assuming the nurse told me, fresh yes, tablets no

Lol 'overkill' i can so hear the American now hun i love it! Yeh its true that is a big boost of vit C thanks for the info Heart
