Sorry to hear that, Sounds very nasty, definately lots of fluids, makes a supprising difference to your ability to recover. Although if it's fresh orange juice then dilute it a bit as the stuff neat can aggrivate a sore throat.
Seems lots of people are ill all round me at the moment. I know what you mean about fake brother/sister. I have a good friend here I regard like a sister, she's recovering from toncelitus at the moment, did a mercy drop of videos, vitamins, and cough mixture. Poor thing's been on a ice cream diet. She should be ok and back on the cider in no time (if it's rose then I'm only safe as long as she dosn't have a set of hair clippers to hand, too cold to be shawn this time of year)
