I have a cold...

[tizzo]

Don't treat the symptoms until they are unbearable or dangerous in and of themselves.
Your fighting all your own bodies natural defenses and giving your "germ" a nice cozy comfy place to live...
The cough, the runny nose, the fever are all ways your body lets that germ out and your doing everything in your power to keep it in...
Quit with the drugs and let it run it's course.
Oh and what really feels good all the way around is a LONG hot shower...

I have been robbed. The phrase "I have a cold...." should ONLY EVER be followed by the words "beer" or "one".

I can't let it "run it's course" because that's what I've been doing for literally years - on and off. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I consistently had a clear nose... it's been constant and I need to find a way to nip it in the butt.

kleenex w/lotion in it.........

I knew what you were talking about, but the response was hysterical.
NO swine flu if you have the sneezies. My friends daughter had the swine flu believe it or not. She was at a summer camp a few weeks ago and was infected with it. They think 2 kids were sent there "sick"

and they infected 3 others. (People...don't send your kids to school/camp SICK!!!)
Colds I have decided you have to let run their course. Hot showers, lots of liquids to flush out our system. I NEVER buy the cheap tissue when it comes to a cold. NEVER!!! Oh,and those Sudacare (I think thats the brand...) shower pucks to create a menthyol steam are great. I actually use them in the kitchen sink with a towel over my head.
