Deed help with by code...

I've managed to avoid any illness since surgery - I give credit to all the vitamins and supplements I've been taking.

But today, by head is fillig up, by dose is draidig, add I've beed sneezig a LOT!  What can we RNY'ers take (she asks, as a drip escapes her right nostril...) ???  Too late in the day to call the clinic...

i take sudaphed or dayquil - seems to work fine for me

 

I had to decode what you were saying - too funny!
Can't help you, but looks like you caught what your DH had, eh? BUMMER!!!
Feel better soon!

Mucinex-D, tylenol and afrin!

I've had this cold twice in the past month.

 Darla,

Have you ever tried sinus irrigation?  Ever heard of a neti pot?  Sinus irrigation is basically letting lukewarm sal****er flow or gently squirting water into one nostril... it goes through your sinus and exits through the other nostril.  It cleans out all the gunk.  It is easy to do and quite soothing.  It is a very old and effective method for cleaning out the sinuses and reducing sinus symptoms.  I have done it myself.  You can buy a neti pot or squirt bottle type irrigation kit at pretty much any pharmacy.  Give it  a try.

I've heard of neti pots, have a few friends who swear by them!  I just can't get past the "yuk" factor yet...  I've got a saline mist, but my hubby's been using it, so I won't be trying that until I can buy one for MY exclusive use.  Married or not, that's kinda revolting...

I won't be at PNC tonight, I won't spread this junk to others...

Sorry you are not feeling well...!  I usually take plain sudafed, suck on cold-eze and drink lots of water.  Mucinex D is also AWESOME if you are able to swallow the pill.

Healing hugs to you!!

HHMMM You and DH fighting over the recliner..... Hope he is feeling better and that you get better soon.  Maybe Miss Bailey can make you a good pot of chicken soup..

Take Care,

Karen

Rich is back at work.  THANK GOD I can be home ALONE for a spell!!!

Darla,

I just got over the stupid cold and I think since surgery every time I take cold medicine it only works for like an hour then I'm miserable again.  I did try mucinex and I felt like I was going to have a heart attack for about 20 min not sure what is in that stuff but it also made me really sick to my stomach but after the horrible 20 min of pain it worked great and longer than an hour.
