So right now, this is -my- hell. Guess it's time to break out the nurses costume from the closet and call up whipping boy (aka my boyfriend) again. If anyone has any sure-fire cures for a cold as such, please please pleeeeeeeease show some compassion and post them. Thanks. *staggers off to the medicine cabinet in a daze....* |

Here is what a few SNOT-B-GONE consumers have to say! "I use nothing but SNOT-B-GONE for my stuffy nose." -James Belushi "My kids love it, Plus they haven't said a word or moved, for that matter, since I gave it to them three weeks ago!" -Al Bundy |

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll have to look into a couple if this thing isn't gone by early next week. I have a concert to go to tommorow (lollaPLUza - take off on lollapalooza, but held in Tacoma, WA at Pacific Lutheran University.. oh, an I made a web page for it... you can find it by going to altavisita.digital.com and typing in 'lollapluza' or at hotbot.com , same thing... also linked from the plu.edu May events calendar. The page addy is http://members.xoom.com/Superdeluxe/plu.html - Check it out and tell me what you think. I made it/all the graphics, a couple nights back in one of my all-nighter drugged states. K, 'nuff bout that. Won't plug it anymore. ;) So far what's worked best for me is this cough stuff called 'Delsyum' & some Excedrin PM. Course I'm not coherant or much good for anything, but hey, least I'm not coughing. (Cuz I'm passed out! :p) Butt gravy, eh Dave? Man, that's shitty. *grin* Yeah, been doing the steamy showers thing. We used to have a humidifier that my mom would put in our room at night, when we had a cold. She'd fill it with water, turn it on and close the doors tight and the steam would help clear our heads by morning. She lent it to someone awhile back, wish I had it now. Then there was that little suction bubble thing she would shove up our noses and squeeze and it would suck the snot right out of it's hiding place. I remember dreading that thing. Never really thought about it, but I bet the inside of it looked really pretty after all those years. I mean, you can only clean it out -so- much. Anyway, gonna go take some more meds and then go pick up the pizza my bf (you know him better as 'whipping boy' - and don't ask about the nurses costume, it's too steamy to go into here *wink*wink*nudge*nudge*) just ordered. Least I can eat solids again. Was sticking to popsicles, pudding, baby food (num) and applesauce for awhile there. Thanks again, guys! Take care. |

PLU, huh? I wasted 3 years at Keithley JH and 3 more at Washington HS which are right next door to PLU. Small world. |
By CarrieAnn on Monday, May 11, 1998 - 06:41 am: |
Yeppers, PLU. Definitely a small world. Well, arent you the one who said you have an Aunt who lives here in University Place though? *tries to remember* Anyway... LollaPLUza was great! Least in my humble opinion. I know I had a fun time. :c) Skanked to some great SKA music (the dancing is called skanking, in case you're wondering, hehe), got kicked in the head by people crowd surfing, groped and rubbed against by drunken fools (and thats just the people I went with! *grin*), caught a concert T-shirt thrown by Engine 54 (great Ska band), got sprayed with pop by some little punk (who later got beat down by my boyfriend and another guy friend . wOo heh), and took lots of pics, which I'll scan soon and put up for everyone to see. So overall, despite how I just described it.. I had a blast! Heh. But I'm weird like that. ;) |

(Wonder how many people are now waking up with CarrieAnn's evil cold? Oh my....) |
By CarrieAnn on Monday, May 11, 1998 - 08:50 pm: |
I can tell this cold will be gone by the end of the week! *does the happy dance* |
The pot might not be such a good idea though. You fall asleap faster but your brain never does so you can't reach REM sleep(thats why you can feel 'flown over' the next morning). Plus it dehidrates you and you don't want that if your all clogged up you'll go to blow your stoned noes and you could get some red boogers. (not good). Solution So drink lots of water (a couple of liters a day). Take Vitamine C,Encanicia is good too, Zinc is about the best expecially if you can find some lozengens, not the candy kind the brown ugly ones(try Dollar General if you have one),they tast nasty and you can't chew them(won't work as well) but they get it into your system quicker and more effictiantly, put one one between you teeth and cheek for about five or ten minutes then switch sides- repeat till disolved, you'll feel notaciably better for 20 min or more.Regular pill form will work also. A one a day multivitimine is good also. But make sure you only take these things when your sick. A good rule of thumb is to start taking them when you feel rundown like a cold is comming on,and up to 3-5 days after you feel better, but not all the time cuz you body will get use to it and when you get sick again they won't work as well. Also if you flem is really green and/or yellow you might want to go see the doctor cuz you have and infection, and the back pain could be Plurisee- and inflamation of the outer linning of the lungs (not fun I've had that). Good back pain relief is Condroition and glucosomine complex, maybe MSN if you can afford all three in one ($$). Just a little note all of these thing work differentaly on different people and different colds so just try dropping some thing and increasing others. Be carful though you can overdose on the zinc, the Vitamine C will just keep you regular like bran flakes, start with 2000 mg and work you way back if you sittin' on the John more than you think you should be. Encinicia is best if you take 3 over the day but you can take three with breakfast too if you don't think you'll remember to take them. The Condroition and Glucosomine complex must build up in you system so take the recomonded dosage on the bottle for the whole bottle and your joints and back WILL feel better. Sorry I typed so much hope it helps- email me if you have any questions or you just can't understand my babbling(or spelling-lol) |
But, you've got to know that it's true Wild Oregano. See the book "The Cure is in the Cupboard". |
