Re: Snoring & Akiba, and MARION, too!

[Guest guest]

My ENT guy prescribes for me Nasacort Nasal Spray! I also

take Chlorpheniramine antihistamine tablets, especially at

NIGHT! Not medical advice, just what I do--does not stop

the snoring though, as that is usually caused by the natural

dropping down of the upper soft palate and that lovely UVULA

and the uvula getting in the way of air as one breathes through

one's mouth (which we all do) in very relaxed sleep.

The only human on the planet whom I have ever known who

did NOT snore was my own mother who actually slept the

entire night with her mouth shut--and she had terrible sinusitis.

Plus, grim determination, even in her sleep.

Those little strips that hold the nasal passages open do work

wonders for many, but if you notice the commercials by the

guy who allegedly "invented" them, boy does HE need sinus

SURGERY--like yesterday!

Love to all us snorers out there, happily sleeping

as others are ready to press pillows over our heads!

Oh Akiba...both you and Rob surely are in my heart and

my thoughts right now. Wishing and hoping for peace

and a healing heart right now for Rob. My mom sounds

just like Rob's; she would have said the same thing. He

needs to know she is going through alot right now, and

will try and push others away in her pain--she probably

feels all alone right now; my mom tends to wallow in that

and tells people to leave her be when she is going through

a difficult time. big, soft, warm cuddly hugs for Rob!

always, kate
