Sorry you are under the weather, Ken. It's been my experience that different things work for different people, probably because of the variance in immune systems. Since I began taking an echinacea capsule once a day for the first week of every month, the number of colds I have has dropped considerably. I used to reliably catch cold on an annual Christmas trip every year. Now I'd say the number of colds I get has been reduced by 90%. Yet some claim echinacea doesn't work. It's cheap, and as far as I can tell, harmless...so, I do it. Airborne fizzy tablets seem to help head off the worst symptoms if I do get a cold. I think some of their active ingredients are similar to cold-eze. And at night, Nyquil works well for me. But as I said, all these things seem to vary considerably among individuals.

Naps are good....I can't nap.....mind just keeps going....but I sleep well with melatonin. I get one good cold a year....usually in the winter and usually from my wife or daughter when something is rampant at her childcare center..... I take 2 days in bed with TV and tele.....drink a lots of different stuff....water, OJ, ginger ale (diet) and still eat all I care to ......chicken soup via pressure cooker is terrific in less than an hour..... I also like Nyquil just before bed.....and 2 aspirin with one advil for nasty aches and pains..... other than that I'm a natural man...... Shootie
