In sickness and in health

Feeling a bit under the weather? Let us cheer you up with this article and you'll be feeling as fit as a fiddle in no time!

How are you feeling today? Perhaps you’re feeling a bit under the weather  or maybe you’re not quite yourself today. You might be coming down with something, especially if there’s something going round. In any event, you’re going to have to call in sick.

If you are genuinely ill (or have a hangover), you might feel a bit rough, or, in more serious cases, you might feel like death warmed up. If a hangover was the cause of your troubles, the hair of the dog could be one solution. It might make matters worse but it could be just what the doctor ordered.

Whatever has happened, you will simply have to take your medicine. Within a short period you will probably be on the road to recovery and in no time at all you might be feeling as right as rain and feel as fit as a fiddle.
