Sorry for the delay in posting. I have a nasty cold/stomach bug combo deal that's kept me pretty sidelined. I never realized how much I love Sudafed until I couldn't have it any more.
Not that I'm considering taking any, no matter how desperate I may get.
From the beginning I've been pretty much terrified of taking anything OTC, even when my own friggin' doctor tells me to do so. For example, she says Tylenol is A-OK while pregnant. But all I can do is imagine that foreign substance creeping through me and into my little bean. What if I'm the one with a babe who's allergic to the stuff? Or what if it contributes to some sort of disease? Maybe doctors don't really know whether Tylenol is safe and they just think it's a good bet!
Clearly, I've lost it, but this is nothing new.
So I'm suffering through this monster bug, sipping a Coke for my nausea and trying not to worry about the 32 mg of caffeine (yep, I looked it up) or whatever other baddies might be lurking inside. Also trying not to stress about the fact that I've been using the Neil Med squeeze bottle for my sinus pain and pressure. It's just saline (like in a Neti Pot) but I refuse to Google it and freak myself out. I'm sure it's fine.
Did I really just say that? Talk about progress.
Hope everyone else is hanging in there and fighting off change-of-season colds. Hopefully it'll be truly spring soon!
