Just something to think about.
That's what I was going to mention. I drink plenty of water, but that can get your eletrolyts off.

Maybe drink some water, and some Gatorade. If my potassium is low my legs get mean, I tell ya.

And if the muscle relaxers and all that jazz fails, I have a shot or two of tequilla and that does the trick. No kidding.

I use a Lipton Green Tea To Go packet in my water once in a while too. Can't be as good as real green tea, but I feel better since I've been drinking it.



Keep us posted.

sorry cheryl,

this group sounds like they're more interested in their study and the patients they're studying.

so WHY do want to do this?

Cheryl, sounds like you have been enduring this cold for too long. I agree with tkrik, try to get a culture, perhaps from an ENT.

Could your immune system be compromised from what you might be taking in the study?

I can get super bad colds and bronchitis from working with teenagers, so as soon as I see any evidence of yellow or green, I get on an antibiotic that day!!

Hope you feel better soon, otherwise I agree with NurseNancy.
