With some saltines, ginger ale, and The Price Is Right on the TV? 

 

Followed by the Young and the Restless.

 

I'd only stay home a few times each year, but was always able to pick right back up on the story since nothing ever really happened. (Except for the blockbuster event of Victor and Nikki's wedding)

You do not necessarily have to alternate between those two; just try what works better for you. For me, ibuprofen is much more effective. And if you just use it on an emergency basis, you might consider going beyond the recommended OTC dose if necessary for a day or two.

If you have any CKD, D0 NOT take anything except acetaminophen (tylenol). I had worsening CKD for 10 years before needing a transplant and my nephrologist  told me that  from the beginning. The transplant center reinforced that before they released me.

Hyper dose vitamin C. Double dose vitamin D (your body can't synthesize it this time of year where you live). Hot bone broth. No sugar or anything else inflammatory.

 

Eat. I know there's not as much joy in it but you need to eat to support recovery. Rest - body and mind (if you can take a day off work do it).

 

Ultimately none of these things are going to cure you but if your immune system needs support it will help you feel better faster.

To this day I still have a creepy childhood memory of having a high fever while watching the Price is Right and Bob Barker's mouth being absolutely enormous and taking up the entire screen.

The one main issue i have is that when i get a cold, i just have to let the sickness run its course through "home" remedies.

 

I have major reactions to cold medications and in fact, my son has the exact same thing.......any pharmacy cold medications leaves us running up the walls and super hyper for weeks. It doesn't matter what it is, it just kicks the **** out of us because we won't sleep for days and that doesn't help when you're sick.

 

UGH

I do the usual campbells chicken soup with crackers, hot tea with honey (soothing like chamomile) and I swear  by the neti pot nasal liquid rinse. It feels weird but I have found it helps with my recovery being faster.

 

emergen-C supplement,  that's not really a home remedy but I take it to get better

 

best to you

The Showcase Showdown was set for a quarter to noon

My spin did not make it all the way around, I got booooed

 

Next thing I knew I was standing next to a Marine....

Who did not like his showcase and passed it on over to me.

So, i've got a cold and i'm trying to shake it off and work through it, however, my wifes birthday is coming up in a few days and i'm planning on going away with her for about 4 days (everything is planned and booked, so there's no turning back now for refunds).

If it were up to me, i'd just stay in bed for the next 2 weeks, but that's not an option.

 

I need your "home" cold remedies to at least get me over the hump.

 

What have you got........

 

Sudafed (have to get from the pharmacist).. it works almost too good. Gargle salt water. If congested- sinus rinse (Neto-pot) will help. Soup, tea, morning pastina with sugar, butter and milk
