Well, I must share what I have been taking for my cold for two days. I have been on Zycam Nasal Swabs. Nifty little things and so easy to do. No side effects, no nothing. You just swab your nose, hold the nostrill for five seconds, and throw the swab in the garbage. Every four hours.

Been doing this for 2 days. This morning I was able to go out for Breakfast and my voice is clearing up. I am still blowing my nose but it's clear (always has been). I do have a cough but I take that awful Buckleys.

I know a cold (whether or not you do anything for it or not) will take a week to 10 days to run itself through, but if this darn swab thing reduces the symtoms, I figured "what the heck".

Alan said I'm sounding better, not so nasally and people don't mistake me for a man on the phone anymore. So that's a good thing.

Alan has an ivig thing on Tuesday. When the visiting nurse comes, (she's very nice), I'm going to take out my stethescope and have her listen to my lungs). I'll feel much better after I know they are clear. I don't foresee any problems, but if you think I'm going to have a nurse in my home and not ask her to please listen to my chest, well forget it.

She likes my muffins and she's a doll.
