Not feeling the greatest!

Strange cough remedies! Seriously, a friend of mine was put on one of the newer meds for high blood pressure and started a never ending cough. It did turn out to be a side effect and the one thing I could find that had been proven to counter it was iron supplements. So that's what I sent her - the cough was gone in a day. Not sure what the connection is between coughing and iron. Anyone figure that one out?

Janet it's a new day and hope today is better....I still think you need to be our guinea pig and rub that vapo-rub on your feet. hahaaha....It can't hurt and who knows, might do the trick.

Or.....get silly and rub all over and into cinnamon! Might be fun right??

LOL ~ i swear i'm going to try the vaporub next time....

might combine with cinnamon

Sheryl you just crack me up!!!! LOL I read that same email and forgot all about it. Only thing is, I'm not really coughing much...mostly clearing my throat. My chest feels so much better this evening. I'm really happy about that, that part was awful. I still have the sinus problem a little bit, sometimes I'm stopped up, next minute it's running a marathon...LOL. I'm sure by tomorrow I should be back to normal (if I was ever there in the first place.) I did take some of this stuff called Musinex and I really think that help break of the chest crap.

Glad the Musinex is helping. Hope you are back to all well and fine before you know it!

So glad to see you are doing better Janet! I've heard that the Musinex has been pretty good stuff.

Janet · 11-10-2007, 07:47 AM

Well, I'm sure as heck not sure what happened between the time I went to bed and then woke up this morning, but it hit me again with a double whammy!! I'm going to play on the computer a bit and go back to bed. bad sinuses, very sore throat...pee when I cough, the whole deal. I honestly feel like I'm dying.........I want to live....I want to live...!!!
