Zinc lozenges

[MissMillie]

So, I'm fighting off my cold. I got my Cold-eeze lozenges and a bottle of vitamin C, not to mention the requisite big glass to keep at my desk so that I can drink a lot of water.

I was in bed at 7:30 last night.

Zinc lozenges have a syrupy taste, which in itself is not too terrible, but the aftertaste makes everything you eat taste HORRIBLE.

This one is not going to last 2 weeks... no way

1. i'm also sick, i took some theraflu last night hoping for some sleep

and i ended up waking up at 4:30am and i was sweaty--yuck. My left ear is killing me and i feel like crying.

Feel better MissMillie, hope you have a speedy recovery. Tonight i'm going back to Ny-Quil and hoping for the best.

2. hehehehe, I've actually used them to try to lose weight

It's amazing how you lose your appetite when everything tastes gross. I wish I was kidding because that's really a sad, sad eating-disordery sort of behavior.

3. Called in sick today

Slept like hell last night. I should go out and get some of the zinc things but then I would have to get dressed.

4. rats, I keep forgetting to take mine. I hope they work for you!

I'm battling day 4 of a cold right now. I suppose it's too late to take my cold-eeze losenges?

5. my package says they work best if taken

within 48 hours of the onset of the first symptoms.

7. Take them, anyway.

Airborne Tablets really help.

Even though they work best within
the first 48 hours of symptoms,you
can take them anytime.

:hi:

6. I just finished week 1 of my cold/flu/whatever.

It seems to be fading day by day, but not fast enough for my liking...

8. I swear by the power of ColdEeze...stay well MissMillie!

that stuff is fantastic. i start taking it if i even get the hint of a cold, and it works. placebo effect be damned!

9. Anyone use Zi-cam?.......

I'm just back to work after an (unwelcome) '3-day weekend' due to a cold. I took Zi-cam, Cold-Eze lozenges, and Theraflu geltabs. Sure, I was in a drug-induced haze for three days, but the cold is almost completely gone now. I just wonder which of those drugs actually did the trick.

11. i've heard tell of Zi-Cam...but Cold-Eeze has always done the trick for me

rumor has it that Zi-Cam doesn't have that sucking on pennies aftertaste.
