Usually I lounge around in my bed, all miserable and weepy. And sometimes barely conscious. So that I can nap on and off when I feel like.

I try to do what the least effort so I don't have to move. Watching TV, reading and maybe playing a videogame. It has to be a breeze. Not too hard because even challenges are effort and I'm too weak for that.

When I'm sick with a cough/headache/ anything that doesn't make me feel sick I rotate between videogames and the Escapist.

If I am sick sick them I'll curl up in bed with a hot water bottle, a cup of tea and stick on a Top Gear DVD and go to sleep. I usually awake feeling better.

I lay in bed clutching a bottle of cough syrup in one hand, and a bottle of Advil in the other. After about a hour of a cough syrup pill popping game I play, I pass out. Then I wake up and move on with my life.

Normally I complain a bit then take some drugs and try to go to sleep. If that doesn't work video games.

I drink water and lie down for a while, with a probable addition of some medicine depending upon what I am sick with. That usually takes care of everything. :3

Depends.

Respiratory illness: Video games and movies.

Stomach/intestinal illness: Pray for death to take me.

(I don't do nausea well)
Basically this is the same for me. The only difference really is that instead of movies I do school work because I miss one day and I'm about 3 days behind in work since so much is covered in class, and we have block schedule. Or I will try and get the most sleep I can and see if I can be in a cold place because I always feel better for some reason in the cold. No idea why.

I like to lay in bed all day and read when I'm sick. Last time I was ill (which was quite a while ago, thankfully) I reread the entire Harry Potter series.

I feel like crap so often, I can never really tell when I'm struck with an illness. So I'm guessing whenever I've been sick lately, I end up functioning like nothing's going on.

I either sit down and watch one of my DVDs of a series, or I get some sleep. Usually both, depending on how sick I am.

If I am sick on a weekday, I have to suck it up and go to lectures and labs, otherwise I will feel bad that my project partner has to carry my weight for the day, and the guilt makes me feel worse. If I am sick on a weekend, I stay in bed, nap, then play on either the DS or PSP and watch Vincent D'Onofrio movies on my little DVD player. I also make sure I have plenty of fluids and at least a little bit of toast to eat.

hot blackcurrant or orange squash with paracetemol dissolved in it. Drink, curl up on the sofa with a cosy blanket, then after a good night's sleep feel right as rain ^_^
