I wouldn't consider commercials (including Hallmark!!) "horrible things, sad stories..."

The hallmark commercials in the States are more emotionally-moving rather than sad or horrible. They usually make one feel a longing for family, etc....

Can't be easy to always find the proper rubrics....and I'm not convinced that rubric really fits.....

Anyhow, I hope you figure out what you need, Sunny. Remember, it isn't always necessary to take a remedy for every acute as someone recently told me - risk of suppression. And acutes are our body's way of throwing off things...and better to let them run their course if they aren't unbearable.

If it is unbearable, then hopefully you can mildy palliate enough to work through the bug. Then you'll both be stronger because your body will have 'righted' itself. Also, I think non of us rest enough when we catch these bugs - and this helped me a lot when I had this nasty bug .

Have a Merry Christmas ....and feel better soon.
Take care,
Lisa
