Congrats Jordo.
what dont kill us, makes us stronger. (so they say) been there done that. being theres no real cure for the common cold, riding it out works all the time.
i kid you not, but as soon as i feel a cold coming on i run and get a bag of cold eeze i swear they work. im pretty sure it kept the head cold i had 3 weeks ago out of my chest.
thats good stuff. i take that too when needed.
the cold eez you need to take at first sign of illness or it dont really work that well.
Zicam!
Danielle, you done right. In the long run (not to sound like a hippie or anything) antibiotics are gonna work against ya. And like Scotty said there's no cure. You suffer a few days, build immunity, move on.
I only take antibiotics if I'm knockin on death's door step. I hear a lot about how antibiotics are becoming less effective and can't make em any stronger. Just food for thought. I do what Bill and Scotty do, you want your vitamins and minerals and fluids, boost the immune system, and normally I get a sore throat so I have tea with honey. And it's normally once a year, so I think I'm doin alright
But I hope you feel better, hon!
I had a infected cyst on my cheek about 2 months ago and the doc put me on a antibiotic that was for strep throat....a really aggressive one. Soooo...I took that into consideration in that my body didn't need anymore put in unless I absolutely have to.
I finally got my voice sorta back after lunch, but paging was still hell. And I've started coughing more and that hurts like hell. My throat is so soar.
Mucinex is not working like I wish it was! Boooooo. And it tastes like poooooo. I hate liquid meds, unless it tastes like that bubble gum stuff they give you as a kid for colds. That stuff was awesome.
But I'm surviving.
Thanks Brandon![]()
gurgle salt water.
you have liquid Mucinex? all i got is pills here. 12 hour and 24 hour and all sorts of this or that, severe sinus, or such and such.
I've been doing the salt water in the mornings, it helps for a little bit.
I have pills and liquid mucinex. Been doing the liquid more today. I must say, it is helping with the coughing quicker than the pills. Just have to get past that initial poison taste, lol.
I get this one time a year and I swear, it makes me the biggest cry baby.
LOL funny you say that.. remember dimetapp? that stuff tasted like grape koolaid!
but I tell you what burnt me and made me start thinkin about medicines. a urologist I seen one time put me on Cipro. apparently a common drug, but it is black boxed from the fda, well. I took it. I think I had taken the second pill and I felt crazy like I was losing my mind, and some other weird symptoms. started googling it and got HORROR stories, so I think I took one more dose just to put the fears out of my head and the symptoms got worse and I got the weird feeling in my acheeles hill and all that. I called him up was like yep find another pill these are going in the trash. those were "quinolones". I said yep, no more of those bad boys!
im a horrible person when im real sick, i feel ya. i went 3 years with out a major cold, like one that keeps me home for 3 days to a week. then last year went and caught one. lets hope i dont get a bad one this year.
