anyone know a way to just flush the body of this crap?
I'll already on a regime of gargling salt water, using a saline nasal spray, some cute little yellow liquid pills, and codeine-laced Robitussin.

While the Codine knocks me TFO, it is not a good substitute for the Screwdrivers that I love so dearly, and it is totally ruining my break. It's like being airsick and sleepy and not sh!tfaaced and slightly aroused. In addition, I can't stop fucking coughing, food only monetarily alleviates my coughing, and I can't go anywhere/ do anything cause the codiene and the cute little yellow liquid pills have me all but incapacitated.

AND I CAN'T DRINK ALCOHOL WITH THESE MEDS.:|

I ordered some chinese food from the best place in the area yesterday hoping to make myself feel better but it just made me feel like sh!t. THe effect of drinkign a nice soup (pho, etc) only lasts about 10min.



this sucks:|

Yeah, you need the decongestant, i found that anything with pseudoephedrine works wonders for post nasal drip.

I hate that shit too. I never used to get it until I was around 19 years old (i'm 28) and this shit just pisses me off to no end. Typically people get a cold and blow there nose etc... When I get a cold, I feel like I have a runny nose in my throat. I found what worked best is a combination of flonase, allegra, anti-biotics, and a lot of patience. Luckily for me that my cold in November only resulted in 3 weeks of post nasal drip.

On the other hand last year.... I caught a cold in early August and the nasal drip did not leave me until November. It intensifies in the evening to the point where you can't stop coughing and worst of all was that dry scratchy throat for all those months. I couldn't even laugh or I would go on a coughing rampage. Good luck.

Go to Walmart (I know, swallow your pride) and get the Equate branded Daytime Cold and Sinus. They are yellow liquigels. I have tried every drug out there for my sinuses and this is the only thing I have found that helps.

I've gone twice. They basically said it will go away both times.
I guess it is better now.

This is not about toughness. This is about sanity. You try coughing for 4hrs an getting a 5min break, and repeating it for two weeks. No tears for fears but stress that you can't do anything about can drive you crazy.

:D Of all the answers I could possibly post, the real background to the story is that I had a few books that I wanted to read lined up. I didn't want to say it cause, yeah, it makes me sound liek a pussy:p but I was really looking forward to it. Feeling better today so I'll skip the codeine...and am trying to get some reading done.
