Fighting a Cold

It’s rainy season in Seattle (we really don’t have a winter). That, combined with having black mold in our master closet upstairs, sleeping on a makeshift bed in our family room every night, and having clothes strewn about the house is not really making “home matters” any better for Ponzi and myself. The end of the month can’t come soon enough for us. Life is stressful, and our landlords aren’t making it any easier. Is anybody from Quorum listening – because if you are, YOU SUCK!

This morning, we woke up sore and a bit sniffly. It was just a matter of time before she and I came down with something. To battle this impending case of the crappies, we picked up Coldcalm and Oscillococcinum from the store this evening. I’ve been popping the Coldcalm tablets tonight, but I’m not sure they’re working. Allegedly, this homeopathic medicine will curb sneezing, runny noses, nasal congestion, minor sore throats, etc. Our bodies aren’t quite at DEFCON 2 yet, but we’d like to do as much as possible to keep from getting worse.

Well, Chris, I would assume you’d be smarter than to put your faith into a homeopathic remedy! Sheesh!

ColdEEze is your best bet for actually shortening the period you’re sick.

If you’re going to shorten the time period you have the cold, you have to take the “medicine” as soon as you start feeling you’re coming down with it. Otherwise the old saying: if you treat a cold it lasts 7 days, if you do nothing it lasts a week.
