Having a cold
Having a cold really bites it. That said, it is going to give me the chance to write a review of Zicam which I am trying with this cold. The claim is that I’ll get over my cold 3x as fast and it won’t be as severe. I’m using the Nasal Gel variety, in the past I’ve used the kind you spray in your mouth and the chewables, both taste terrible and it’s the kind of taste that stays in your mouth.
I’m on day two with the Zicam, I’ll let do a full review of the Zicam experience once I’m over the cold and can comment on whether or not I feel like it helped.

I’ve used Zicam a few times, and at the time, I felt like it helped. The problem is, you can never tell how long the cold would have lasted without it. My last couple of colds I haven’t used it and yet they ended more quickly than I expected. The symptoms were also pretty mild. Maybe the effects of Zicam are permanent. Huzzah!
I’m a die-hard Airborne fan myself. I hate “preventative” medicine, but every time I feel a cold coming on, I pound a few Airborne drinks and all is suddenly better. After all, having like 4,000% of your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C can’t be a bad thing.
Plus with those 4,000% vitamins your piss almost glows, who doesn’t like that!?
Cold has progressed into the phase where I need to blow my nose constantly and each time is more annoying than the last because my nose is so raw.
Dr. Dean claims that there is no proof that vitamin supplements do any good. He’s also rabidly against circumcision, so whatever.
This is fascinating …
