stupid stuffy nose

[proud gonzo]

I hate sinus infections.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

feeling your pain right now....misery

[proud gonzo]

it's making it really hard to concentrate on the crusades.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

what meds are you takin?

[proud gonzo]

Allegra and Nasacort AQ nasal spray (I always take those for allergies) and the doctor gave me Omnicef (antibiotic)

i've also got some chloraseptic throat spray, some halls vitamin C drops, and Afrin standing by just in case.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Im doing chloroseptic, MucinexI(great stuff) and some other stuff...nuthin works like it should tho

[proud gonzo]

i'm not convinced about that mucinex stuff. The commercials call it a cough suppressant AND expectorant...and I don't think it can be both at once. Anyway, my throat isn't really the trouble, it's my sinuses.

oh, i have some zicam, too. that stuff is awesome

nuke a cup of water. add salt, and snort it.

sounds awful and it is, but it do work.

[proud gonzo]

i've heard that suggestion so many times, and i just can't bring myself to try it. How the heck do you not drown? gah.

[proud gonzo]

ok, the salt water up the nose is sounding more and more appealing... if this doesn't start getting better, I might have to try it :mad:

[olevetonahill]

I aint gotta clue as to what I take evry day for this crap . But it works for me .
If I dont take it I sneeze my head off !

[proud gonzo]

yeah--i take Allegra and i get allergy shots every week for the past year...and it worked really really well until about 8 p.m. yesterday and I woke up this morning with a sinus infection.

[olevetonahill]

Bastages , gave you a placebo huh ? :mad:

[Okla-homey]

You should take up smoking. It would harden your sinuses and you would be less likely to suffer from these seasonal afflictions.:texan:

Ever notice that smokers never have allergy problems?

[proud gonzo]

I bet that'd do wonders for my asthma ;)

Holy crap! :eek:
Hope you feel better soon.

[proud gonzo]

nah, allergy shots have been pretty awesome, aside from the bruises and knots... Normally i'm miserable for the entire spring instead of just a week or so.


and now maybe i can feel a little better. Iggy went all over the place and managed to track down a little jar of heaven:

Yeah, but that darned ol' cancer don't go away too easy. :texan:

[proud gonzo]

great... it's moved on to the cough now :mad:

[soonersweetie]

try some Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Tea with a spoonful of honey in it. It's great on the throat and cough.

Also, fill up your sink or a pot with hot water and put a towel over your head and breathe in the steam, that will help your sinuses too. Vicks Vaporub would be good too.

Hope you feel better.

Hate to say it, but it's probably true. I had allergies as bad as PG (weekly shots, etc), but after I started smoking they seemed to go away.

[proud gonzo]

yeah, i'm definitely not going that route.
