Hannelore, I can relate! My darling grandson just gave me another cold on Sunday - it took me almost 3 weeks to get rid of the one he gave me on New Year's Day! So I've been following this thread with invested interest, drinking lots of hot water with honey - it's very soothing on the throat. I take echinacea too; in the past it's helped keep the viruses away, but it didn't help at all with the New Year's cold.
How are you feeling today?

Sorry about that Hannelore. I was trying to help. I didn't know it was filled with unatural things. I'm sorry.

Anne, have you tried using a neti pot for cleaning out your sinuses? It feels/seems kinda gross at first, but it does help open up the clogged sinuses.

Madalyn, hon, that's alright. I would recommend any medication that helps me too. Besides, it's the thought that counts.
Meredith, you’re right; never heard of Cold Snap. I think Goldie Hawn is a big fan of Chinese remedies. I’ll look into it.
Lol Anne. You know what’s scary? I understood exactly what you meant when you said; thois8^dh9ip[oc??? Speaking of clogged sinuses, when I left milk products away, my sinuses unclogged within two weeks. Have you tried that?
This is just great, now Hubby has caught my cold,…and he’s dragging around like he’s on his death bed. Poor guy, he will really go nuts when he gets the entire bimbam. Right now I have my hands full between him and Anaiya. But I’m feeling somewhat better, and I’m managing.

I'm glad you're feeling better Hannelore...a little, at least, cuz honey, you're gonna need it if that man of yours has it! OMG....I can't believe what happens when a man gets a cold or flu. And they think women are all about drama??? They could make a movie out of the times my husband has really been sick...thank God, it's not often!!!

Anne, here is a link that I found to give you a little information on the neti pot. There is a small video on this particular site that shows how to use it. You can buy neti pots at wal-mart or the health food store for about $12.00 to $16.00. neti pot
