Did you have any success with the Neti Pot?  I woke up in misery at 1 am and finally broke mine out.  I had quite satisfactory/disgusting results, but now I'm just focused on the pain in my throat.

Re: Bethie

  • I used it when I got home from work yesterday and it worked a little...I'm feeling a little better today. I wish Afrin didn't fuuck up your nose after 3 days or else I'd still be using that. Stupid wonderful Afrin.

  • I use Afrin for far longer than 3 days.  Then, I use it only at night.  Then, I eventually get myself off it.  Breathing is worth a flucked up nose.

  • If you overuse Afrin it starts to make your membranes swell even more once it wears off.

    I used the Neti Pot again this morning.  You drain for awhile, cough a few times to loosen things up and blow hard a couple of times.  I got out what appeared to be a baby bird fetus, and I feel much better.

  • I was always very anti-Neti Pot, but it is my new best friend.  It doesn't really cure the cold, but damn if it doesn't lay the smack down on sinus pressure and help prevent colds from turning into sinus infections.

    I'm in Fallin's pharmacy. And while you're at it, how about some Tylenol Cold (or any other drugs that work)?!  Oh, and breathe-right strips.  Not hot, but effective.

  • Seriously, I wish it was socially acceptable to walk around with a breathe right strip on my nose at all times. I love those things.

  • Fallin likes to play fast and loose with her nasal cavities.

    I'm telling you guys, Tessalon Perles are the shiit. I woke up in the middle of the night with a tickle cough, took 2 of these and BAM. Cough was gone.

    I'm wearing one right now. It's clear.  I don't care. I can't breathe and I'm b*tchy as sh*t because of it.  I've already taken Claritin-D and I can't take any of the good stuff till bedtime or I will be faceplanted into my couch. Whatever. The only people who are going to see me are my cleaning people and a 10 yr old girl who is too polite to ask me why I have it on.
