Having a summer cold is super annoying - but somehow I have been sick since Sunday night. I have been taking Alka-Selzer plus Cold, and Airborne (although I don't think that does anything), so finally I took Zycam. I meant to get the swabs, but got the nasal spray by accident instead. Dear Lord, it stung terribly! I absolutely abhor nasal spray and bet they use it as a form of torture in some countries. Flonase is the same for me, Afrin - ugh! It drips down your throat and comes out your nose, but you aren't supposed to blow your nose, and you are supposed to sniff deeply -what?!?! GROSS! Oh, and everything tastes terrible for hours. At least Zycam is menthol /eucalyptus and not that flowery junk - barf.Do you use nasal spray?
i hate nasal spray. i refuse to use it. gah.
ReplyDeletehope you feel better soon! :)
HELL No! I hate nose sprays and do not use them.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!
feel better! yuck.
ReplyDeletei do not like spraying odd substances up my nasal cavity. it's gross. and i'm SO afraid that i'll get addicted and end up on a 20/20 or, worse, Dateline special.
I used that stuff and was all better in no time flat. If that is all I have to do I can handle it.
ReplyDeleteEen -- If you want to feel better, this is all you have to do (I just did it becuase I am allergic to allergy / cold medicines)..
ReplyDeleteSniff saltwater 2-3 times a day. drop some rubbing alcohol down your ears before you go to bed. and if you have a stuffed up nost -- some vicks rub overnight will clear that right up!!!
I swear it works -- your body will reject all colds out of your body!!!!

Are you feeling better?
ReplyDelete(I love nasal sprays.)
OMG i wish i would've seen this sooner. i ran a consumer alert in my newscast about a week ago from the FDA warning people to stop using zicam because it ruins your sense of smell. don't believe me?? check out the link below...
