I feel your pain. I've had colds that just would. not. go. away. Even worse, I've had bad cases of laryngitis that would not go away. One particularly nasty one lasted a week, And that is the kiss of death when you're trying to teach a class. When that happens, my doctor usually gives up and prescribes me an antibiotic, which usually does the trick.

Get some rest, and I hope you feel better soon!

yes, it's really hard to continue working when I am still not 100 percent over this virus. I still have terrible nasal congestion, and I'm blowing my nose all day long. I think I took some antibiotics, but right now I need some strong antihistamine or decongestant I think. maybe I need to go to the drugstore and see what they have.

thanks!

What I found sad is that they don't sell Sudafed in Japan because it can be used to make Crystal Meth. In fact, people who bring it into the country can get deported. It's a shame because Sudafed was the only thing that used to work for me.

Of course, now I can't very much of it, if at all, because my body doesn't handle stimulants very well.

oh yes, you're right about the Sudafed. though I can't take it personally - it makes me very jittery and nauseous. I remember buying it for my husband in the chicago area and having to sign some kind of form to register that I was buying it. we had some Contac - I think that's what it's called - the other day and it really works to clear my sinuses, but still makes me a bit jittery. I don't like strong medicine, hence I suffer more. *sigh*

I don't like strong medicines either. Nowadays, whenever I get a cold, I take Benadryl and/or use a neti pot. The Benadryl thing only works when I'm at home though. I can't drive while I'm on it because it makes me sleepy.
