OT: im sick...suggestions please!!!

[Mengy]

ok well I also have a cold at this moment and I got it 2 days ago, so yesterday was very very bad where my nose was so clogged up that it took about 15 min for the nose drops (afrin) to kick in a little bit and even though it says dont use it more then twice in 12 hour period I had to use it 3 times cause I couldnt take it anymore... but anyways yesterday i went to some site called like webmd or something and someone said to take lots of vitamin C so i did just that, I took like 2000mg of vitamin c in the morning and today I feel lot better and I didnt even have to use that nose spray anymore so yea just do that and rest and you should be fine...

Well I've also been sick for the past two days with something similar to what you have, I feel better today but very weak. Today is a lifting day and I really want to lift, but I might just sleep instead...

15 min for the nose drops (afrin) to kick in a little bit and even though it says dont use it more then twice in 12 hour period I had to use it 3 times cause I couldnt take it anymore

A little bit of advice from someone that also over did the Afrin: STOP THAT SHIT NOW!!!! It is horrible. About 3 yrs ago my mom (the nurse) hid it from me when she saw me using it for like 3 weeks straight. Yeah it works initially, but prepare to have the worst sinus infection you will ever have. Afrin ends up having a reverse affect on you if used too much. Your snot will be grey and thick along with all the crap that drains in your throat. I actually was gagging on my own drainage because it was so thick and I couldnt hack it up.

Suggestion: Use a simple saline spray for your nose. It works well if used often (mainly water so no side effects). Just keep shooting that in there.

Add some Zinc to the mix. Zinc has been shown to cut cold time right in half.

I think its more than a cold. For the past 12 hrs whatever i eat goes right through me. The gas is very painful. Thanx everyone for the suggestions, much appreciated!!!

Way off on a tangent...I'm not too serious here about trying this either.

If you want to try curing a cold try taking LSD (the real stuff not the shit-mix off the street). LSD was originally found through research into curing the common cold/virus/etc.

Funny thing is, and maybe a co-incidence, years ago when I was young and stupid a friend gave me some LSD of very high quality (extremely clean high) and I happened to have a pretty brutal winter cold at the time (though unrelated to why she gave me the acid). The day after my wonderful high (that never seemed to end), my cold was COMPLETELY GONE! As in no sign of a cold at ALL. Zip.

A few months later I read that LSD was discovered during cold research.

Go figure.

Along w/ the Vit C/Green Tea/Zinc suggestions, go to a health food store and get some Liquid Colloidal Silver. I run a health food store and have seen countless people cure virus'/ colds, and even staph infections. Give it a try, it's like $10-15.
