Where does this stuff hide? Gross warning

[JSR III]

I will give you all my secret recipe for when I feel a sore throat or head cold/flu coming on but don't tell anyone.

(Hot and sour soup) Go to your local Chinese restaurant and buy a large bucket of hot and sour soup. Eat several bowls and you will knock days or weeks off of your illness.

Had this issue for 30 years and 3 major sinus surgeries.

I take Claritin and Flonase.

Mine gets bad enough to give me optical migranes - loss of vision followed by massive headache.

When they let loose - go with it. Better out than in.

Start using a Neti Pot. It will help get the congestion out and the salt solution will help prevent and treat infection. They work really well and if you don't have one they are sold at any drugstore.

Plus one on the Neti pot! Boil water, mix salt, and let it cool to body temperature. Pouring warm salt water in one side of your nose and having it run out the other is kind of bizarre but really works to flush sinuses and irrigate tissue. When you need it there is nothing quite like it...

Apparently, large Gummy Bears now come in a new color, "Mid-Atlantic Grey", and I have just expelled one from my nose. WTH???

I'm no expert on anatomy, but how was I hiding something that size inside my face.

Hope it wasn't brains...

Don't know about shortening the illness, but it would sure make me feel better for a while.

Might even help me forget I read the rest of this thread.

What you describe.......

....I go through all the time. When somebody says that I'm full of snot, I have to agree with them. I go through 7-8 tissues every swipe. Saturated. Sinus infections galore. I had a few surgeries that helped some. I was feeling weak for years and I knew there was something wrong in my sinuses and I could point to it. Doctors took fiber optics up my nose until FINALLY one doctor took a swab so deep it came out my throat. Staph infection. All of those antibiotics that never helped were all wasted. It took a combination of drugs to kill that one. I started taking allergy shots in the 60's. There is no comparison with today's. Improvements are noticeable in a few months. Because of all this, my head is clearer now than it's been since I was a kid.

There has been ads on TV for a portable steamer that you let heat up and puts steam into nasal passages. Has anyone tried one of these ?

I'm surprised somebody hasn't figured out some use for the stuff. Talk about a renewable resource.

Works great as a slide grease substitute for semi-autos.......
