HELP!!!!! I have PS surgery next Wed and I awoke to the sniffles, and a nice cold sore on my lip. Ok...so I increased my Zinc and my Vit C. Anything else? I want to get over this quickly to avoid problems next week. Thanks!

Between the colds that are flying around and fall allergies everyone is getting sick. For the allergies, I love Alavert. It dissolves on your tongue so it is quick and doesn't get affected by our absoption issues. Tylenol meds are my fav for colds. Severe Sinus & Cold works great. If you end up congested & coughing, Mucinex all the way. Now my pharmacist helped with a trick for the Mucinex, it is a time release med but you are supposed to take 2 tablets every 12 hours (4 in a 24 hour period). I get around this by taking 1 every six hours, that way it is in my system but not breaking the recommendations. Works great! Hope you find something that works & feel better soon.

Always my dread too so I got the flu shot yesterday. Know they will still operate unless you are heavily congested and have difficulty breathing.... Upping your vitamin C and zinc should help - also talk with the pharmacist at your local pharmacy and see if he can suggest anything for your cold sore etc. I had RNY witht he biggest cold sore you have ever seen!!! Dr Halmi gave me some kind of super-ointment that helped it go down a bit but it didn't keep me back from surgery..... after surgery I was on percocet so I don't re,e,ner it ever bothering ,e again lololo!! I go to see Dr Krieger this morning - want him to look at my new belly button as it is still a bit red and he is going away Thursday so he will see me today.... I just thimk after 6 weeks it should not be red..... I think Loris had her lbl surgery yesterday........ Jackie

So sorry to hear you have a code id your doze! hehehe. Sorry...I'm in a silly mood today. I do hope you're feeling better soon though. BTW, how's your son? How long does he get to stay stateside? How was his homecoming? Did you hug the stuffin' outta him? I feel so out of the loop these days. Anyway, feel better soon, sweetie!

Hugs!
