Clare, sometimes it sucks being the "sensitive" type. I have hypothyroidism and an endocrinologist said that he wasn't surprised because "I have a heart." But, I am working on balancing my emotions and it will all work out. I'm so glad you expressed yourself to your brother and he is able...

I understand about people not wanting to contract my illness but they could certainly leave items on the front step. I certainly would not want to get someone else sick as I wouldn't want to either if I was helping a friend but again, they wouldn't have to come in the house. I'm with you on...

I'm sure many of us have experienced disappointment from friends. Hey, none of us are perfect.........except a rare few. ;):D I know it's important to overlook things but sometimes it's hard. I've been really sick for a week. I take care of my mother who also has been quite sick. Only one...

L Sass, thank you for the reminder of using oregano oil. I had used it awhile back for other reasons and it was quite strong for me and discontinued using it. However, I will certainly give it another try as I know it has amazing anti-fungal/bacterial and more properties. Elsie, glad you've...

Thanks again, ladies! This is one of those viruses that apparently found a cozy home and doesn't want to leave. I keep telling it that it needs its independence and should live on its own. It's not listening! :mad: Emigliori, I purchased the extra strength Target brand strips. I don't...

Thanks to each and every one of you for your suggestions and kind thoughts. It means so much to me, truly! I love all of your ideas. I used to eat wasabi peas a lot. They certainly would open things up for a minute or two. I will have to keep them on hand again. I had forgotten about...

I'm heading out now to buy some nasal strips and I will also talk to the pharmacist about a decongestant. I know they have extra strength strips so hopefully I'll find those on sale. I have no energy to go out. Where's my butler Charles to go and get these for me? Geesh, they're never around...

Do the strips work when you're totally blocked? The steam only helps a little for a brief moment. Thanks. Bam

Thank you emigliori. Saline sprays and the neti pot are not doing it for me. It is just so plugged up. I am using a generic Afrin which I'm not thrilled at doing but until I can find something else to help me, I have to use it or I will go nuts not being able to breathe through my nose. I am...

I've been quite sick with a bad cold/flu for quite a few days. My nose is TOTALLY blocked. I can't breathe. I do have over the counter nasal spray which does help but can't be used for more than a few days. It feels like there are literally 2 plugs in my nose. No air is getting through...

Clare, thank you SO much. That was very kind of you to offer! The Relaxium does seem to be helping. I took two the other night but decided to go back to one last night. I think the one is working better for me right now. The seasons don't affect me. My stuff is situtational. I continue to...

I understand what you're saying. I used to get a lot of looks. It has changed now. I'd be out with my 20 something year old nieces and looks would come our way and I just believed everyone was looking at me because that's just what I decided to believe! :p I was at a party at a bowling...

I don't have any shade close to a green thumb but would love to have a garden......better yet, have someone tend garden for me! :D:p I really would like to eat as pure as possible and doing little steps at a time gets me closer to my goal. I've been pretty blessed in my life in that I rarely...

I want to eat only organic (even organic now isn't the same as it was years ago because of all the pollutants in the air which end up in the soil) but I just can't afford to so I just buy what I can. There has been evidence for many, many years as to the effects of pesticides, man made foods...

I am so angry and this entire country should be as well to prompt the discontinuation of GMO foods. A tomato, carrot, potato, apple, pear, etc., now salmon and so many other foods are being genetically modified so that suppliers can maintain freshness thereby selling more of their products...

Ditto! I'm usually the "designated" one (actually self-designated cuz I can't stand to see the mess :D) who will pick up the slack when others don't throw it in the bag. This way, you can't accidentally have your gift cards or precious diamond jewelry disappear! :p Bam

I want to give a quick update. As I mentioned in a previous response, I was going to start taking Relaxium because I had a bottle in my house. It suggests taking 2-4 capsules a day but because of my sensitivities, I started with one. I've been taking it for several nights now and noticed a...

Thank you, ladies, for your responses. I have taken many different fish oil/omega supplements and my brain (the pieces that are still there :p) do not like them. I always feel more anxious or frustrated or just plain yucky so unfortunately for me, that's not a route I can take at this time...

Suethepooh, thank you for the link. Dr. Oz certainly does address issues that need to be discussed with an open mind and open solutions. I have never seen It's A Wonderful Life. One of these days, or years lol, I do want to watch it along with another Christmas movie staple that I haven't seen...

That's great that the B-50 worked for you so well. I currently take b-100 and it helps me in other ways but not for depression. I'm just so happy when people find solutions that are easy and without complications. :) Bam
