I Hate Colds...

I hate colds....

Haven't had a cold in a long time but I apparently captured one while in Oklahoma City. And as colds go, I feel like krap. So here it sit at 2:58 AM in front of the computer with a cup of hot spiced tea and probably a pitiful look on my face. Can't go back to bed because my nose swells shut when I go horizontal. I'll try sleeping in my chair after I finish my tea. Meanwhile, I just wanted to go somewhere that I could say "I HATE COLDS..."

Thanks

    Colds are the worst...

    It's a constant battle keeping them at bay living in the great white north with 4 school age kids running around.

    I use a special "Hot Toddy" to help me get through it.
    1-1.5 oz of rum, neo citran crystals, juice from 1 freshly squeezed lemon, some honey and some boiling water.

    If it doesn't cure me - at least I can sleep.

    I hope you feel better soon!

    I feel your pain. I hate to even tell you this but I've been ill for the past 3 weeks. I started with sinusitis that progressed into a full blown asthma outbreak. I, too, would lay down and my nose would swell shut---couldn't breathe at night and had to spend the majority of my nighttime on the couch with my head propped up.

    Treatment for this bought was a Z-pack (that didn't quite work) and inhaler, steroids, and singular. I am actually feeling much better today.

    Hope you feel better soon!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Leroy, I think it is a common trait with all good film directors, it goes along with fame, groupies etc etc. An old Irish cure for colds which we still use at home is to make a tea with homemade blacrcurrant jam (jelly I think you call it in the states), boiling water, and a large shot of bushmills. It might not work too well but it helps dull the pain LOL. It does actually work and it also helps you sleep better.
    Greetings from Ireland, Roger

    Sorry to hear your not fealing well Leroy. Sounds like a good time to fire up the egg and make some homemade chicken soup.

    Hope your better very, very soon.

    I am also suffering from a cold with all of its beautiful symtons. Finally went to the doctor's. Got a chest xray as they thought it might be walking pnemonia.

    Is starve a cold feed a fever or feed a cold starve a fever. If it is the later it will be a great excuse to go off my diet.

    That's what happens when we run our batteries nearly out. I haven't recovered, yet, but didn't get sick. Get better, Bud.
