Normally I look forward to a good head cold.
Really, I do.
I like to have an excuse to take care of myself.
I know as soon as I ingest my beloved Nyquil, I can hole up into that hazy-fuzzy slipper-clad comfort land.
Love curling up on the couch with a fleece blanket and a shallow novel, or even better...hours and hours of uninterrupted Food Network.
I refer to the Food Network as Stay at Home Mom Porn.
Nothing better than watching someone else mix up a triple layer chocolate cake with ganache and white chocolate curls....Ina Garten anyone?
And I love me some "Unwrapped" and "Iron Chef America."
No needless to say, when this head-yuck hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday, I was looking forward to some Nyquil and some couch time.
Except...at some point since I purchased my last batch of Nyquil, they have changed the formula.
IT DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE!
I didn't get any relief.
I feel like crap.
My whole body hurts.
My eyes hurt.
I can't lay down, or read, or watch "Ace of Cakes."
I really have to be SICK!
Like really miserable.
Unless you have a suggestion?
Any luck with cold meds?
Do tell.
I just hope it doesn't spread, cause the only thing worse than me being sick, is Sam having himself a man-cold.

They keep the good stuff behind the counter at the pharmacy. You have to ask for it and show ID and give them at least one of your children to get it. (Chances are, they are on your nerves, as you're sick anyway, so that won't be so bad.)
Sorry you are sick. I will have to look to see if we have any old stuff for you.
Get feeling better soon.
I know what you mean! I took NyQuil last week before bed and I hardly slept the whole night cause I couldn't breathe. All it did was make me dizzy. Good luck!
I am there with you - I would take being sick any day of the week compared to dealing with a man with a man-cold! Yuck!
They took out one word from the commercial...and it was the one that had the antihistamine for the cure. Can't remember which one. But yeah...it's different. :( I have the capsules and they work ok, but they make me really dizzy.
So sorry you are sick. :(

I have some things that help shorten your cold. And some immunity builders to give your family so they don't get sick. A great web sight is www.iherb.com.
Sambucol works wonders. And Kid-e-well is something that my kids love. When I'm sick I get a nose spray like zycam full force. That seems to help. And i'm a big fan of the neti pot. It's terriably disgusting but man it helps get that congestion out. I hope you are feeling better soon. Being sick is the worst.
Go to the pharmacist at the counter. Tell him you need generic pseudoephidrine. You will have to show ID for it.
This is the stuff they don't put in Nyquil anymore. It will dry out your sinuses.
Take it with the Nyquil, because it can make you a little jumpy.
You should add the link to "MAN COld" its a video on youtube! hilarious!
Alka Seltzer works pretty dang well... It is not a very nice taste but it helps a TON!
Get better!
