  • Cold be gone!


    I became deathly afraid of colds after i had the experience of two bad cold two years ago.  Each were 3 weeks long, tremendously painful for my throat and chest, and accompanied by sleepless nights due to non-relief and dry hacking. Of course my roommate perkiee1004 had to put up with me and also had sleepless nights cos my coughing was loud.  To take care of myself, I usually try homemade remedies: rest, fluids, steam from the shower, and chicken soup.  I'll even try medicine: nyquil, robitussen.  This time I'm trying the Pharmacist Recommended Cold-Eeze.  You're supposed to take these zinc filled lozenges within the first 48 hours at the first sign of a cold.  And it is clinically proven to reduce the duration of the common cold.  The first sign of the common cold is a dry scratchy throat.   I have had a scratchy throat since yesterday!!!  So I just had my first lozenge in cherry flavor.  It didn't taste bad at all.  Wish me luck and health!

  • I'm a big fan of coldeeze, even though there are all these complicated directions, and you have to drink water all day long, but you should be doing that anyway to try to flush out the germs. get better!

    but since i have a wedding this weekend, i figured it'd be less distracting to have a cleaner look.
