I'm fighting!

Yesterday and today I have been "fighting" the beginnings of a tickle in my throat and the stuffiness in my nose with my tried and true remedies. I have no medical expertise, only the experience of seldom ever having a cold and being able to fight them off in a day or two. I drink a LOT of really hot green tea, especially inhaling the steam as I sip. I suck on lots of Halls Defense Lozenges, the ones with zinc, vitamin C, and echinacea. I rub Vicks on my neck and chest before going to bed. I drink a lot of water too. I do absolutely feel better this evening than I did this morning. But I'll still take prayer! This is such a big week for me. And now I am going to go bed and get the sleep that is all important.

Sorry you're feeling bad Jean. I'll tell you what's been helping me. Anytime I feel like I'm starting to get "something", I use the Zicam nasal gel. It works for me! Hope you feel better soon...I will pray for you now. (see my post from today about praying)

Hugs!
Kat

Love ya!

I don't have any remedies, but I will pray for you. This sort of thing is going around. One girl who was at the party last night could not talk at all. She said that she didn't feel badly. . . she just couldn't talk. That would be bad in your case because your week is all about talk and singing. Bless you dear friend!

The stress of "program week" can really mess you up. I think your resistence goes down in relation to stress going up. Hope you feel better. I had 2 pograms today and both went well.
