I had some tomato soup and a toasted bagel. Drinking lots of water.

Took one capsule and drowsy is what it is making me! Judy I cannot believe you take 4 a day...I'd be sleeping all day long! I can barely keep my eyes open and it does cause blurry vision. There is no way I can take this stuff during the day.

I hate colds.

Tomato soup is good!

At Halloween you can pretend that you are drinking blood!



Did I just type that!



See? I am fatigued!

Awwww, Cheryl..bless your pea pickin heart..

Nooooooooo, not another cold..

Glad you got some answers......finally......

Take the lyrika for awhile...you need the rest anyway. Maybe your system will get used to it, after a week or so....I hope.

Take care..

Slaps on a HEPA mask and slides over and hugs you

I am sorry that your docs don't respond in a timely fashion!
Blast them with some spiny stems!

I am sorry you have another cold!
Curses on whoever gave it to you!

I am sorry you are once again the guinea pig for yet another med
You should publish all your findings when you get old!(er)

Now get away from me, you germ carrying harbinger of illness, you!!
...rapidly pumping the Germ-X bottle and slathering it all over me

Seriously Flygirl, I AM sorry to hear you are sick again. Please get some rest and get PODH to take care of you! You are working too hard and not taking enough time to rest and build up your defenses.

This is a bad time of year as far as colds and flu go, so remember to sanitize after touching anything in public and get thee a fan to flutter and block the nasty germs from reaching you when dealing with the public!

Ever notice on the news when they do a piece on Japan that lots of folks are wearing surgical masks? I wonder if we could start a fashion trend here??

Feel Better soon!

Hope you are feeling better soon. I was on Lyrica for sometime, the only side effect I had was swelling in feet, and caused my BP to stay up around 152/101. When I stopped taking it, my BP came back down. It did work really well, haven't found anything better.

I hope that nasty head cold goes away soon...
Remedy from back in the 30's
2 tsp honey
1/4 cup of whiskey
1tsp of baking soda
2 tsp of lemon
1 asprin
Mix until all is dissolved...
Guaranteed to cure or wish you were pushin daises...
Drink first thing in the morning...my dad still uses this when he gets a cold...it is very nasty tasting, but it seems to help him a lot.

Thanks!

I am feeling a little better, the cold is getting better...at least my head isn't trying to explode!

I found that I cannot take the lyrica during the day. double vision and very very drowsy. So I can only take it at night.

Have no idea if it's affecting my BP as my BP is very low anyway. So I doubt it will be a problem.

My dad always used to say "honey, whiskey, and lemon juice. Throw the honey and lemon juice away and drink the whiskey. It'll cure what ails you."



I'm thinking, Twiffy, that even IF FG saw TWO hamburgers that she's still only eat part of one.
