My wife and I have both ahd the worst cold we have had in years this week. Well, hers started last week and then I caught it this week. We were both pretty well flattenned by these colds.
This week, I am thankful for better living through chemistry. Let me explain, though, both my wife and I try to stay away from synthetic drugs as much as possible. We try to use food and drink for our health and are usually pretty successful at staying healthy and shortening ailments. However, sometimes, that big cold comes along and it's time to find the local pusher.
I just want to say thank you to the makers of ZICAM. I will admit that I have been using this for at least 10 years for colds and it has really both shortened the duration and reduced the symptoms. For most colds, this is all we take. Well, along with a lot of chicken soup and hot tea.
But then there are the big ones that come about every few years and we bring out the DayQuil, the NyQuil (I apparently left that out of the picture), the throat lozenges and cough drops. This years colds were just those, the big ones, lasting 5 - 6 miserable days instead of just 2 -3 mildly affected days. So, thank you makers of cold remedies that work, now I can also.
