    cold medicine

    I take mucinex D fairly regularly also. I have bad drainage and it kind of wads up in my throat and ends up stuck and causes problems and I have to get unfilled to get rid of it. Mucinex D helps prevent that.

    cold medicine

    There are plenty of tylenol cold products out there. The most common NSAIDS are aleve, motrin, naproxen, advil, etc. Tylenol is not an NSAID. I like tylenol cold. Mucinex D is a good decongestant. It's located behind the pharmacy counter because it has sudaphed in it. Make sure to bring your ID with you if you go for that.
  5. Been there. Done that. Still stupid enough to do it thinking it might work this time. lol
  6. I had the same problem. It turned out it was excessive swelling. I ended up back in the hospital for one night to get fluids because I was dehydrated.

    I smell like protein shakes!

    It's great! I went out with her the other night after she went and had a drink with a friend and I was like did you drink a malibu and coke?! And she did. I guess some people emit the smell through their pores or something.

    I smell like protein shakes!

    lol! I haven't experienced it but I do have a friend who smells exactly like the alcohol she drinks when we go out and have a few drinks. It's hilarious.
  10. Muscle Milk Light vanilla creme or banana creme mixed with milk, frozen strawberries, and splenda. I despise everything else I've ever tried.

    When did it hit you?

    I felt it when I woke up in PACU also. I remember waking up screaming at them to get it out of me because it hurt so bad. I don't notice it so much now I guess because I'm used to it being there.
  12. Do you feel the post nasal drip kinda sticking in your throat? I have constant post nasal drip and I just had a cold and almost had to have what little fill I have taken out because of it. I have found that mucinex or mucinex d seems to thin the mucous to a point where it doesn't plug up the opening to the stomach so to speak. I take zyrtec every day and mucinex as needed and it does the trick.

    Must everything be sugar free??

    I agree. I don't personally subscribe to the sugar free low carb thing. It may work for some but there are sooooo many foods that make me wanna puke when I taste them that I'd hardly ever be able to eat at all if I didn't have carbs and some sugar in my diet. I'm not saying I go out and scarf down a pint of ben & jerry's either. I think there's a happy medium for everything.
  14. As far as I remember (I'm a certified pharmacy tech) the packaging for cymbalta says not to cut, crush, chew, or open. I would check with your pharmacist just to be sure. Like RM, I can take pills just fine too. You may not ever have a problem.
  15. If the pill is time released (ER, XL, XR, SR, etc) it generally cannot be crushed or split. It ruins the time release coating and you end up getting all the medicine at once instead of over the course of the day. Always check with your pharmacist first if you're not sure.
