Guest guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 So there is a Mucinex D! I will check at the drug store when I go this week. I bought the DM in Shop Rite. I have to say that I feel pretty good today! My nose is stuffy, though, and wheezing, but my chest is not! This building is dusty. The building super said that our cleaning lady needs to get into the air vents and clean in there. No one else does it. She doesn't dust our desks, either. I have to clean mine myself. I can actually see the dust all over it. I start choking and coughing and a few minutes later, my manager does, too. We share an office. But it always happens to me first and my coughing and choking are always more intense. I can actually feel things going down my throat when I breathe. That's what makes me want to choke. There are smokers here, too. And then they try to cover up with lotion. It's definitely nice to be able to discuss on here! Deb Mucinex D and DM There is a Mucinex, Mucinex D and a Mucinex DM.
