RE: The beginnings of a cold

[Guest guest]

Here's a general rule

Do a " neck check. " If your symptoms are all located " above the neck "

then you can exercise at a reduced intensity.

On the other hand, if your " neck check " reveals symptoms " below the

neck " like muscle aches, chills, diarrhea, vomiting or a fever over

100 degrees Fahrenheit, you should skip your workouts until your

" below the neck " symptoms subside.

Exercise may temporarily clear a stuffed-up head when you have a cold.

If you feel really lousy, then take a day off. The cold will have to

run its course and you can treat the symptoms.

I don't do this, but we have a dental pic that Hugh bought an

attachment called a nasal irrigator. This is great if you have a

sinus infection to get the gunk out and helps get rid of the sinus

infection. You use a saline solution in the tank and stick the hose

in your nostril and turn it on. Believe it or not, this treatment is

recommended by doctors.

As gross as it sounds, it does work. I bought something called SinuCleanse,

I think at Walgreens, a year or so ago. It has a cute little " tea " (neti)

pot and some packets. You can buy more packets... or make your own mix.

It is VERY nice to be able to breathe in the winter. But if I use it daily,

I get a bit of a nosebleed from drying them out too much - but that probably

doesn't happen to everybody.

Barb,

It's not really gross unless you tell us you're recycling the tea!

...Then I'm gagging!
