***Takes a swig of Nyquil and passed it to Rely***

Ain't Nyquil the CRACK of cold meds?!? Boy, when even the prescrition stuff won't cut it, grab the Nyquil and... SPLAT! Especially on an empty stomach. Hell, it's 50 Proof!

Actually, if you have bronchitis or pneunmonia, and can't get rid of the cough, request a prescription for Tussinex. It's the 'Mercedes Benz' of cough syrup, because it is a heavy narcotic (Oxycontin/hydrocodone) and if you are one of there people where cough syrup with codeine doesn't work for you, this WILL. WARNING: They will only give it to you if you are truly almost in respiratory distress (as it should be) because this stuff is dangerous. You will never get a refill for it. It's basically a supressant (for non-productive coughs)and liquid Oxycontin, no need to say more. I was so sick last December, I had to have this (it tastes great, like...flowers?)and it never made me a loopy-tard once. I stopped coughing, though. I took it ONCE after I was feeling much better and had a post-sick coughing fit and it LAID ME OUT. HIGH? Try orbiting. It scared me.

I hope you feel better, and funny you should mention your motivation fit. I ALWAYS have a super-productive/mad motivation streak RIGHT before I am flattened. Is that nature's way of making up for all the stuff we WON"T be doing for the next week?LOL!

Feel betta soon!

Oh, Rely, sorry to here that. I just got over the same thing a few weeks ago and now my dh and dd have it. Its a booger too. Try honey and lemon in hot water for the sore throat.

Having a cup of that with a little brandy added in doesn't hurt either ;)

If the sore throat gets really bad try taking Ibuprofen. For some reason Tylenol and Nyquil didn't work for me and it hasn't worked for dh either.

I'm hoping you get to feeling better really soon.

hugs,

Vikki
