For the past few days i've had the cold from hell, seems to be focused on the upper respiratory system , lot of nasal blocking and a lot of coughing to the point my guts ache, sleeping is also compromised as i wear a CPAP to sleep and it doesnt work too well with a blocked up nose. and to top it off constant headache
I guess my only option is to wait till it passes,in the mean time its hot water with lemon/honey and ginger.
jambo, have you ever tried a sinus rinse? It definitely helps with nasal clogging. I don't like neti pot, I prefer the rinse bottles, I use Xlear (Xylitol is added to the saline) but many like the NeilMed.
Some times I get a bit stuffy when I'm going to bed and rub Vicks Salve on my lips and under my nose. Makes a nice difference.
I'm hearing a lot of colds going on, and my only response too bad, MORE and MORE don't take pycnogenol or grape seed ex or resveratrol to keep their immune systems healthy.
I also swear by Peppermint Tea. Seems to work really well to help clear you up. It is also an anti-inflammatory, so with help with your stomach. And it tastes good.

Well, it's been about 4 yrs since I got a cold or other respiratory illness, and I have never taken any of those supplements you tout endlessly. Guess I am lucky, but I count on frequent handwashing, good diet, regular exercise and enough sleep (and I need no supplements to get a good night's sleep), to keep my immune system in good germ fighting order.

Good for you, I'm over 20 yrs of no colds...I eat good too, wash hands, sleep good and can't exercise like I did all my life...we all do it "our ways"....

But do you spend much time in public places around lots of people?
Not as much time as I used to, and that is a factor for sure. Although I have never gotten a lot of colds, even when I did spend more time around lots of people.
