Ugh.. starting to get sick...
 

I love fall but every year without fail I get miserable sick for several days and I can feel it creeping in. Got some stuff called Zicam that my sister swears by that fights off colds and such. It's nasty as all hell to taste though and medicine almost never bothers me.

If any of you have any homemade remidies I'm open to them....

I'll make you some home made chicken soup! :okthumb:

You have allergies. Zicam nasal spray with Claritan.

A nightly chaser of NyQuil will help too.

That's for over-the-counter. For prescription, ask the doc for Allegra-D and (the names slip my mind now, there's two of them) a better nasal spray.

This Zicam stuff is nasty. I'm using the oral mist product. Maybe I'll check into the nasal version....

Start taking one gram of vitamin C every hour for the first day when you feel it setting in. After that take a gram a day.

The overload on C the first day will keep you close to the bathroom for a day, but it will cleanse your system help fight off the cold.

As far as over the counter stuff, thera-flu at night helps relieve symptoms.
