March 26, 2004Rhinovirus of doomI caught some cold, some nasty cold that although my sinuses are somewhat stuffy this is attacking my throat. It feels as if I chugged a mug of razor blades and chased it with some lemon juice. The only thing that seems to be doing the trick is Alka Seltzer Plus Cold in Orange Zest flavour. I have an adverse reaction to pseudoephedrine, the reaction also is different depending on the current position of my cycle. I took it yesterday at work, and was in a haze. I came home and did it again and passed out in Kris's room. I took some more today and finally checked out the ingredients, it does not contain pseudoephedrine which it absolutely fantastic. It contains a different antihistamine called chlorpheniramine maleate and a nasal decongestant, phenylephrine. Sure, it makes me feel high as a kite but at least the pain goes away. 09:08 AM
CommentsSorry about spreading the plague. It looks like it's getting more mileage in my office so it's echinachea time this weekend. Posted by: patd at March 26, 2004 12:27 PM The other antihististamine ("chlor...") is the style of antihistamine usually prescribed for allergy sufferers. It does the same job, basically - but goes about it from a different angle. The non-pseudoephedrine is easier on your system, too - if you're not looking to jitter yourself up, stick with the new stuff. So sez the Good Doctor.
