I needed a hug today (just see how many LPers I have insulted in the WDW section and how many of my posts have been ADMIND to understand how lousy I was feeling for most of the day) but am getting a bit better now.. As for G-Fan getting me NyQuil...he is away in Bangor tonight and tomorrow, and I had to get my NyQuil myself earlier today. ..and as for Mr. X, he should have asked me to get his medication since I will be at TDS on wednesday and could have delivered it in person, without the FedUp charge and such. That's what happens when he neglets talking to his real friends on this board...

However, it was a little more complicated than that since I've not really been "home" for almost an entire week (Rhythms of the World rehearsals), and I actually composed this topic on my cellphone and forwarded it to FGM to post. So, you see, it would have been difficult to get in touch with you in any case! Thanks though. Maybe we'll see you Wednesday at DisneySea?

Originally Posted By pacomama I use Zicam on the first day of my cold and it shortens it tremendously. Also, I swear by Airborne. That stuff is great, but like Zicam, it's more of a prevention thing, than a treatment. You need to do it as soon as your symptoms start. If you're already miserable, NyQuil is your only hope.
Originally Posted By MissCandice I am sick right now too. I have a horrible cough and my voice has gone out. I know you are supposed to take Airborne at the first signs of illness but I had to wait til today to buy some. I am drinking it now (yuck).
Originally Posted By dsnyredhead I've got bronchitis and a cold right now and my doctor gave me the usual prescription of Zithromax. It usually clears me up in two days...so hopefully tomorrow I'll be feeling better.
Originally Posted By SuzieQ Mr. X, your original email did not come through. I sure wish Zicam worked for me! About the only thing that gives me relief is the dayquil/nyquil routine.
