Lightbulb Have a cold?

I've got a humdinger of a head cold right now. This one slipped in the back door. Usually, I nail the virus with Zicam but this one disguised itself. I'm working on laryngitis too. I fly for a little over an hour tomorrow. Better hit some heavy duty decongestants beforehand.

Anyone else have a thick head for Christmas or Hanukkah?

Nope, no cold, but my tummy has been rumblin' for the last couple hours....too much junk food recently?

We're supposed to go out around 7:00....we'll see. If I've got a little bug, I don't want to pass it along to the older folks we are going to be with tonight.

Flying with a cold isn't fun, Patty. Hope the decongestants do the trick.

good luck on the flight Patty.
Those pressure changes can be deadly.

Afrin spray will help a little but if your that stuffed up it's not getting in.

Patty, 2 weeks ago tomorrow I started feeling a cold coming on. Took some ColdMD a neighbor had given us, took 2 that night and 2 every day after. I was blowing my nose for two days, then nothing. I sounded congested the third day but felt great. I swear by that stuff now, as I think it cut the suffering in half. But you have to catch it early. Hope you feel better for your flight, and for Christmas.

I'm thinking mine may be a sinus infection too but I don't know. To top it off, my right knee and are wrist are swollen. I guess it's RA.

Started with the sniffles 4 days ago and hit the airborne (effervescent variety). Took it all day and felt like crud, but the next day the sniffles were gone. I took it one more time just in case. I try to keep that stuff on hand. If it doesn't work I usually have to see the doctor because its generally strep.
