If I have to sleep sitting up one more night, I'm gonna scream!!....

Not really a cold (I don't think), but a lot of stuffed-upped-ness and runny nose, with occasional chill-sending sneezes.

Can't lay down to sleep, if I do, I can't breathe.

I've been sucking down decongestant tablets like they're candy.

I also ran out of Kleenex and have been using napkins. Now my nose hurts.

Everytime I blow my nose, it fills right back up (sorry, I know that was gross), but blowing again seems to do nothing.

GRRRRRR

Sorry, I'm such a baby when I get sick (if that's even what this is) and I had to whine to someone!

Uggh--that is the worst.  I'm going through that right now too.  One thing that has really helped me is Vick's Vapo'rub.  You put it on your chest and it helps you breathe so much better.  I actually just put it underneath my nostrils before bed and I can breathe enough to sleep laying down.  I swear by that stuff--it works instantly.  It also helps to elevate your head a bit w/ maybe 2 pillows instead of one.  Have you tried that?  Hmm, hot tea has helped me as well and long steamy showers seem to break up the gunk a little.  That's all I can think of for now.  I hope you feel better soon!

Ooh it's definitely going around! I was sick all last week, got better, and now I'm sick again.

Yup, last night definitely sucked.  Couldn't breathe out of either side of my nose, so I kept waking up every 2 hours and then it would take me at least 30 mins to get back to sleep.  I was doing 2 pillows too.


Haven't tried Vick's, but I think I'll go buy some after work tonight and try it.  Anything to help me sleep better!

I'm sorry you're not feeling well! Don't worry I'm a baby too when I'm sick.


I would definitely recommend a warm-air humidifier. Most of them have a little cup that you can put the vapo-rub steam medicine in, and they work really well making it easier to breathe. I also saw on TV last night this little thing that you can plug into an outlet and it sends medicine out into the air. Never used it but might be something to try! Hope you feel better.
