Sick and Sad

Hello,

I'm a little bit sad, because I'm sick, some kind of flu. Last night I barely slept,; I had was with a high fever. As I live alone, being sick is very hard on bad to me, everything seems more tiring, even geting water for my flowers. I can't run with my dog, and hate taking medicine e remedy. But It does not matter, because at this weekend I will see my best friend! :)

What's the right way to write "remedy" and "medicine"?

Hi Jomara, I hope you're feeling better!

We don't use remedy in English like you use "remédio" in Portuguese. The best translation for remédio is medicine, or medication. Remedy is a more general word that can mean a solution to a problem. In the context of health, it's something like 'remédio caseiro', something you might get from your grandmother that isn't scientifically proven. 

Medical problems that you express in Portuguese with "estou com..." are expressed in English with "I have..." eg. I have a headache, I have a fever, I have a rash on my back, I have a runny nose. 

I think it's grammatically correct to say "at the weekend", but most people (at least in Australia) say "on the weekend". 

Melhoras!!!!!!
