Not feeling the greatest!

Janet · 11-08-2007, 11:34 AM

I was feeling like sinus problems were heading my way the other day, but I woke up at 3 this morning and my chest was so full. When I cough it hurts so bad. Stopped up nose...the whole works.

Usually I only get this once a year...so I'm ready for it to go away now...LOL I'll be home alone most of the evening so I may just go to bed a little earlier than normal, get some rest besides taking my meds. I'm sure most of it will be gone by tomorrow, I sure hope so anyway, it usually doesn't last too long, I don't think.

Just wrap yourself up in a nice cozy blanket and sip some hot tea and watch movies the rest of the day. Go ahead and pamper yourself. If you only get one of these a year be glad that you'll have it done and out of the way for the holidays. I hope that you're feeling better by tomorrow.

Mandy · 11-08-2007, 11:50 AM

Awwww janet, make youself a nice "hot toddie" and get nice, and cozy with a blanket, and pillows, with a dvd or something that you enjoy doing, and pamper yourself. Tell the boys, if they hungry, they know the way to the kitchen

rivermom · 11-08-2007, 12:06 PM

Rest up Janet. Take all the advise that you were just given and take a couple days off.

It's no fun not feeling well. Hope you are back to your normal self in no time.

Janet · 11-08-2007, 02:30 PM

Those suggestions sound wonderful. When my son got home from school, he said he was starting to feel his sinuses acting up too. I pray we don't all get sick, but then it'd be best to get it all done and over with.

I just don't like being sick, but thank goodness I don't smoke now...the coughing really hurts, but I'm not coughing very much. I'm seeing the benefits already...yeah!!!

rivermom · 11-08-2007, 02:55 PM

****Haven't tried this yet*****

Janet - I read an email I rec'vd one day that if you apply that Vicks Vaporub on the bottoms of your feet it will cease the cough. Not saying that I am looking forward to my next nasty cough but I am anxious to try it out.

Wanna be the guinea pig??

I was telling the check out lady at the grocery store about this...she was coughing like crazy. BUT...In error I told her to apply cinnamon to the bottoms of her feet.

Crap - I sure hope she didn't try this as she's gonna make a mess outta her floors !!

I wanna laugh each time I return to the store and use her check out aisle. However, I am too embarrassed to ask her if she tried it.

katepoet · 11-08-2007, 05:09 PM

Hope all heals quickly, Janet.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!! OMG you are too much!

Mandy · 11-09-2007, 02:22 AM

Janet, i hope you feeling better today, next time i have a cold, i am going to try the vicks vaporub on my feet, what a bonus if it helps!

katepoet · 11-09-2007, 05:42 AM

Strange cough remedies! Seriously, a friend of mine was put on one of the newer meds for high blood pressure and started a never ending cough. It did turn out to be a side effect and the one thing I could find that had been proven to counter it was iron supplements. So that's what I sent her - the cough was gone in a day. Not sure what the connection is between coughing and iron. Anyone figure that one out?

rivermom · 11-09-2007, 05:53 AM

Janet it's a new day and hope today is better....I still think you need to be our guinea pig and rub that vapo-rub on your feet. hahaaha....It can't hurt and who knows, might do the trick.

Or.....get silly and rub all over and into cinnamon! Might be fun right??

Mandy · 11-09-2007, 05:56 AM

LOL ~ i swear i'm going to try the vaporub next time....

might combine with cinnamon

Janet · 11-09-2007, 06:04 PM

Sheryl you just crack me up!!!! LOL I read that same email and forgot all about it. Only thing is, I'm not really coughing much...mostly clearing my throat. My chest feels so much better this evening. I'm really happy about that, that part was awful. I still have the sinus problem a little bit, sometimes I'm stopped up, next minute it's running a marathon...LOL. I'm sure by tomorrow I should be back to normal (if I was ever there in the first place.) I did take some of this stuff called Musinex and I really think that help break of the chest crap.

katepoet · 11-09-2007, 08:49 PM

Glad the Musinex is helping. Hope you are back to all well and fine before you know it!

rivermom · 11-10-2007, 03:57 AM

So glad to see you are doing better Janet! I've heard that the Musinex has been pretty good stuff.
