Sickly Tired of Chronic, Runny Noses
Allergies have been an accepted, livable, irritable part of my life.
It could be worse.
But, for the past year, at least once a month, they turn into a quasi-sinus infection or a cold. And it's right on track for this month.
An antihistamine is good enough for the garden variety days, but when it turns into this monthly monster, the drug stops me up and keeps the bacteria around longer, thus working against its original benefits.
If it's some cruel version of male monthlies I'm now living, then, well, that's too cruel. As I would rather bleed from somewhere with a headache than constantly blow my nose and sneeze and have a sore throat.
Tonight I went out and got a vaporizer for the bedroom and am hoping that helps. I'm desperate for any remedies these days.
I know now, that when the kids get a runny nose, that's my warning sign. Mine usually follows the next day and I'm sure they are the culprit.
High vitamin doses, eating well and exercise don't seem to fight this stuff off like it used to.
If anyone has any recommended courses of action, or advice, I'd love to hear it.

hard liqour is actually good for your sore throat. i use tequila or vodka. the key is a raised body temperature to kill the bacteria. this is why alcohol is present in so many cold and cough medicines.
also, for a stuffy nose, sniff a tissue that has some mint oil in it.
if you don;t want to get drunk taking care of your sore throat, try boiling some sliced ginger. make sure the brew is yellow and spicy (but not chili spicy) and the drink, you can sweeten with honey.
hope this helps.
