Granny's gone and done it again

Thanks!!!!!! And sort of. A little bit. I ended up taking everything again today so only because it’s helping my cold.

Benadryl is not for colds, Sweetie, it's for allergies. Can you take something like an Alka-Seltzer Plus or something like that instead?

I thought maybe it might help cause some of the cold medicines have it in it, IDK LOL but maybe that’s just for sleeping to knock people out.

I don’t have any of that but I could get some maybe.

It's not for sleeping either although it can make dome people drowsy. It's an antihistamine.

Histamine is a natural chemical your body releases to help fight allergens and pathogens, but it's also known for causing allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, and swelling ...

When you're allergic, your immune system overreacts to a harmless substance (allergen).
This causes mast cells to release histamine, leading to allergy symptoms.
Antihistamines: are medications that block histamine's effects to relieve these symptoms.

I just don't think you should take it unless you're treating an allergy.

Thanks! I did know that part and you’re probably right! I just don’t know why they would put it in cold medicines LOL I also thought maybe it would help but I don’t think it’s a good idea. But neither is the other stuff I have.

Awwwww I’m sorry. I think Zyrtec is for allergies too. I have that one too. Don’t take it though.

Morning all, or afternoon here.
I didn't get much sleep last night. Unproductive coughing til I started puking. Took some med. for that but I don't have anything for this cough. I got in my chair and finally got some sleep. When I woke up Robert said I need to go to the Drs. Said I was snoring really loud. I normally dont snore. I took a poop pill and because of the pill, well lets just say the poop hit the fan.. And the toilet, walls, floor. clothes and anything else surrounding me. Then to top it all off a sugar drop. It took me an hour to get all that cleaned up . It could of been worse. I could of been at Walmart.

You should carry a change of clothes in the vehicle.

I don't feel like I am getting any better. In fact, I had to force myself to go to the new house with hubby to unload stuff from my pick up. Need to find a Dr. in Danville.
