I should put my husband in touch with you. I think I remember your story. Mr. Flipper is a big tall guy too. He doesn't look his weight, but it's pretty dangerous.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I put some Vicks right inside my nose, it won't take the cold away but it will help you breath again. Benedryl works best for my colds. But I also take a bunch of mneral type vitamins for prevention

About 14 years ago I had something, not sure what. But I was drnking lots of water as I always do, but still got dehydrated anyway. I was at work when I just sat down and couldn't move anymore, could hardly talk. They hauled me to the E-room and pumped liquids into me. Getting dehydrate is dangerous stuff. I think I was lacking in some kind of salts and couldn't retain a proper hydration level. Was an eye opener for me.
I don't know how old people who live alone make it when they get sick

Best thing for stuffed nose: fix some soup (cream of mushroom works well),a nd then add as much cayenne pepper as you can stand. For my wife, that is about 1/100 of an oz. For me, about 1/2 tsp.
It'll clear you in no time!

ANd if that doesn't work go out and get ZICAM. It works very well to shorten the cold as well as relieve the symptoms

One thing I find helps; is a product called Airborne. Basically, it's a fizzy vitamin pill. It's not medicine at all. Due to the exposure level of my job at Greyhound, I had to do something. When I feel the symptoms of something going on I take it twice a day. When I actually am sick I do the same whilst still taking the meds. They are expensive, sometimes though, Walmart will have them on sale.

Hot pepper.
horseradish.
Candied ginger.
They'll all help stuffy noses.
I also really rely on drinking LOTS of fluid,and irrigating my sinuses with saline. I don't bother with fancy equipment. I just make saline in a little custard cup I keep in my bathroom for this purpose, and "snuff" it up my nose then spit it out. I used to get sinusitis a couple time a year before I started doing this. Now it's very rare that a bout of sinus stuffiness gets so bad that I need antibiotics.
It's gross, but it works.

It might be easier to buy saline solution in a spray atomizer. They sell them with just the solution in them. Easier to assimilate.

I can't take benedryl (or any of it's friends) it doesn't mix with my other meds.
I started on Cymbalta for my fibro pain and depression today. It's kind of scary, because I had to go off of prozac (for the ocd) to do it. (been on it for 15yrs).
Please say a prayer that it works. If the ocd thoughts come back, I have to go back on the prozac (fluoxetine..for those into generics
), and more than likely just live with the fibro pain. Nothing has really worked for that, so far.Thanks for all your caring thoughts.
