    Drz, you may want to get a Rx for tessalon perles to get some relief for your cough. I've found them to be much more effective than OTC cough suppressants. Hope you feel better soon!

    I know what you mean drz. Hope you can get some more 'naps', and that you find something to relieve the cough.
    Maybe Pete's suggested tablets?

    I'm not feeling too well myself either. Stayed in all day, to get some rest and stay warm.
    We got a flu-epidemic here in Holland too.
    I hope I can get my 'cold' or whatever it is to disappear quickly.
    I'm rinsing my nose regularly, have no fever till now, but still took some Tylenol (we call it Paracetamol) because I feel kind of chilly.

    Did you already finish eating Jola's soup?
    Maybe you 'd also like a cup of hot tea or something.
    Take care, drz!
    I will too.

    You can take a bit more for very short term (a week). It'd be good to find out exactly what your levels were. 38 is in the normal range but IMO not enough to give you solid protection from flu and other URI's.
