MISERY

Such a bad cold. I have not been able to sleep all night. Nothing seems to work either to help me breath. I wanna cry, but am trying not to since that will only make it worse. I have not suffered like this in a long time. No relief no matter what I take (Nyquil, sudafed...the real stuff, cold ease, zicam, vicks vapo rub...NADA!)

Re: MISERY

sorry you are suffering. I find that Robitussin and/or Mucinex helps.

Nose spray helps me breathe and then I alternate on tylenol and advil every 3-4 hours.

Keep drinking fluids though because if you are hydrated you will just feel better. Make sure you drink something with calories and electrolytes not just tea and water.

And chicken soup...the real kind that's made from scratch. I know it sounds silly, but the veggies and herbs that are used do have healing powers.

Don't eat Campbell's. Way too much salt.

Stay away from caffeine. It will only cause more inflammation.

I hope you feel better soon.
