Dear Dr Bart

I though Excedrin was full of caffeine. I stand by the 'Quil cocktail at night.

Accounting is my day job

Here are my 2 cents: Get MMS (www.miraclemineral.org). It is not a medication, just purifies the body. After 20 years of never getting a cold again, never had any flu shot, I got a bad cold some weeks ago. Right away I started to take MMS and after 2 days I was totally fine.

Whatever you do, hope you will feel well soon.

I tried the Vicks on the feet last year; my boss swears by it. Didn't seem to help, but my feet were really nice and soft afterwards.

I've already had two clients reschedule because they were sick, and I really appreciated that. I have a lot of old time clients that will just drop off in my mailbox, or fax stuff in. The faxed stuff is nice because you don't even have to worry about contaminating their docs if you are sick.

The first day I started the job I now have, I was sick as a dog. Brought in a bag with kleenex, cough drops, cold pills, thermaflu and disinfected my computer. My clients I work at home so I can just stagger upstairs if need be. but the kicker is to get enough rest.

Have not had much trouble getting sick during tax season, but I have been able to work thru it. My problem is relatives dieing during tax season. My mother, my father, my brother in law, my house burn downed on December 30th, and we had a serious auto accident on Nov 12, and I didn't get out of the hospital until December 11th. My clients have always been very understanding. I told my husband that if he died, I would kill him, then I would put him in the freezer until after tax season. If anyone asked where he was I would say he was cooling off. I would also finally have some frozen assets. Every year at some point he jokes about it and looks in the freezer to see if he is there.
