I agree with Fannie and gj. Also, have you ever tried Airborne (sp?)? Hang in there!

I am so sorry you are not feeling well.Any cold is bad news but we just think we feel worse in the summer. Or I do anyway. Hope tomorrow finds you feeling much better. If I could, I’d bring Chicken soup and a hot toddy with honey and lemon. Always makes me feel better. Could just be the alcohol. LOL. Have a good night and a long distance hug. Feel better.

I’m really lucky. Once I figured out that my summer colds were almost always a result of allergies all the planets lined up, I spent five long torturous years getting shots (last one next month – yea!). I still take antihistimines for what the shots didn’t fix and now I rarely get sick.

I rarely get winter colds I think because I am a maniac about handwashing and I don’t have a job where I’m handling a lot of common things, or use public transportation etc. (I stay in my pod and don’t breathe Twenty years in the healthcare industry must have rubbed off on me. Ew ick, hand me a wet wipe!

Feel better!

KNock on wood I haven’t had any bad colds or flu the last few years.
