strredwolfAs some of you know, I've been rather ill -- catching a cold from my nephew, so I've been not working on alot of stuff. I'm behind on alot of it, actually. Me and colds don't get along.
You see, when I start getting a ton of mucus flowing down my throat, I'm actually gagging on it, plus my stomach gets overloaded. Decogestants like Sudafed only promote draining, which is bad for me -- they make me pray to the porcean god. Thus, I avoid them and go straight for the anti-histamines like Claritin (which works effectively for me). Not Claritin-D, which is a histamine/decongestant product. Even Benadryl works -- which just shuts off mucus production and lets me hack (in many ways) less often.
Stalag '99's buffer will cover Friday now, so this weekend will be a mess as I try catching up some more.
