Well, I'm generally healthy although I can always shed a pound. About two weeks ago while working a job, out of nowhere it was as though someone punched me square in the throat. Oh oh, cold coming on. Starve a cold feed a fever, or ffed a cold stave a fever? I can't remember. But what has always worked for me, except this time, is garlic for a cold. Years ago I had a friend that actually is a Chicago Blackhawk hockey player, and I had a lingering cold that I was taking Sudafed for long before the whole drug flap over it, and after about 3 days of taking it, I ran into him and he said, "...if it hasn't worked after 3 days, it aint going to, so try 2 teaspoons of crushed garlic twice a day", and I didn't screw around and took 2 heaping tablespoons for about a day and a half, and it was gone. Nobody, especially hot chicks would get within several feet of me fopr a couple of days because I stunk so bad, but it was worth it for a couple or few days to get rid of a cold.

This time though was different. I was working at a 9-1-1 center out of state, and out of nowhere its as though someone hit me in the throat with either end of a maul. I felt it real time as it started, and "...whoa, this isn't going to end well...". I went out and bought jars of crushed/chopped garlic, and usually two are good...half in the morning, half at night, half next morning, half next night...tops, is good. Not this time, two weeks ago. I'm working out of town, come home, and my family tells me that air conditioning whould dry me out, close the windows and turn on the air. The past two nights, like a Michigan double bit axe over my right eye, that's how bad the sinus headaches are. Last night I sneak downstairs, close off the upstairs, shut off the air downstairs, open the windows, 4 Tylenol cold something or other, can breath, headache gone. Tonight, RIGHT NOW, same thing. Headache so bad that I sneak downstairs, am rlling around n the floor in imenese, excruciating pain, rolling around on the floor, twisting and turning, doing flip flops, asking myself should I go to the ER, drinking half a fifth of Jack Black to knock myself out cold so as not to wake anyone eles up (and I joke about drinking but usually, rarely drink anymore) with zero affect on me, and shut down the air and open the windows, and my severe sinus headache away. Right now, as I write this, my sinuses are a little stopped up, headache is gone, and the rest of the family is aound asleep.

To your question? Bite the bullet as best you can, save money wherever you can, don't involve the family whenever you can avoid it. Right now, I can breath...no headache, no hangover, my family is sound asleep. Air conditioning does NOT help my first in decades, Summer cold. Tomorrow? I have to go out and figure out why the little Allis B runs half a second and dies when I start it and go to mow the lawn. Carb is my guess. Tonight though, am going to sleep in the basement, comfortably with a fan blowinh fresh air on me.
