You need guainefsin (sp). Makes coughs more productive, so hopefully, at least when you do cough they're not as annoying. There's nothing worse than that little tickling cough that just goes and goes and goes. Believe me, I know from coughing.
Oh, that and something with codeine! If you can tolerate it that is, some people can't. |

The best will be when the lung flute hits the US market. It will make guainefsin look like the ineffective crap that it is.

When I was in school I turned a bunch of Lignum Vitae on the lathe (that's where guaifenesin comes from - Lignum Vitae, not lathes) and after breathing in a few lungfulls of that dust I can say it works quite well as an inhalant. The syrup even at LD50 doses is only moderately effective in comparison to the fresh dust. Interesting side note: Apart from Natalie, Lignum Vitae is one of the few woods that does not float.

So I finally went to the doc...got the Exalted Nurse (nurse practitioner) which was fine. She diagnosed sinus infection. But what about the stuff in my lungs? Nada? She mentioned Mucinex to break up the stuff in my head so I bought the generic version. Sure enough, I NOW have a cough and it's quite productive. I'm thinking of starting a manufacturing company, though I might import most phlegm from Mexico or China where I can get cheap workers. The guano-whatever has done nothing for my pounding headache...head feels so full my ears and teeth hurt.

Oh, for that you need pseudoephedrine.

Yeah, my BP was elevated, and she asked me if I was taking something. Last thing I took was Nyquil the night before about 9. The rise in BP alarmed me, but they didn't seem too bothered by it.
I think there's pseudo in the theraflu crap I'm trying, and also in the Nyquil. This is the cold that just keeps giving. ![]()

Shaw, I was also told that stuffy sinuses can elevate BP all by themselves. So unless it was over 180 or something, I wouldn't worry.

It was closer to 160...I guess not too bad, but it's something I have to watch, and it's been better as of late, so it worried me a bit.
Thanks. ![]()

The low number is the one that matters, should be under 85. The high number can be influenced by caffiene, stress, meds etc...

"sharp" cheddar cheese that isn't.
people who feel the need to quote the entire immediately preceding post they are responding directly to. tv show "seasons" that are only 3 or 4 shows long, with 6 month hiatuses. Mariah Carey
