I think I'm coming down with something, so I'm going to take some Thera-Flu. Because last year I realized that the way to stop a cold is to find the most wretched, unbelieveably horrid substance you can possibly imagine and put it directly into your mouth.
Really, I don't even think the stuff has any active ingredients. I think the taste of it just convinces the cold virus to get the Hell out of Dodge before the host body succeeds in it's poorly orchestrated suicide attempt.
My God, I feel so sexy.
Cheers, everyone!

Oh I so agree with you. Thera Flu may smell nice but it makes you wanna puke right when you take a tiny little sip. UGHHH... Good luck with that!

A little better this morning.

The ironic thing, Nikolai, is that you're taking the stuff so that you can STOP puking/sneezing/whatever. It's like treating a broken nose by head-butting someone.
I only filled the coffee cup half way last night, so I could do it like a shot glass... but I only managed to concentrated the stuff. I made sure it wasn't too hot with a finger first. Then I gulped it down in one shot and held onto the kitchen counter for dear life until my face unclenched. I'm pretty sure I swallowed it at some point. I do feel a little better, though. Fortunately this was a pre-emptive strike on my cold. I'm training up for the Cooper River Bridge 10K Run on April 2nd, and I don't want to spend my very first 10K run blowing snot on the other runners. Those people are really in shape, and there will be, like, thousands of them... |

For me, the key is to add a generous shot of Jack Daniels. A squirt of lemon helps cut the congestion too and some honey will sweeten it up a bit.
Hope you feel better soon. . _____________________

You have to take medicine? Mine just goes away by itself in a couple days.

I love Thera-Flu! Not the taste of course... it's pretty awful, although the honey lemon isn't too hard to swallow. It just gives you such a good buzz that you don't care that you're sick for a couple of hours.

Yeah, it's pretty much a sedative.

I almost never take medicine of any kind, but I've got this 10K coming up on Saturday and I don't want to take any chances.
I keep thinking back to my sister's place. She has allergies, so there's a pharmacy in her medicine cabinet. But I'm lucky if I have Band-Aids. It's not often that I need anything, but when I do I have to get my sluggish carcass into the car and drive to the store. I'm pretty much over it now, though. Thanks for sharing my Thera-Flu pain. I'll remember the sugar and honey for nest time! |

Surely it can't taste as bad as Buckley's Mixture, can it?

It just gives you such a good buzz that you don't care that you're sick for a couple of hours. yep. like a low-grade e-trip... ermm.. or so i've heard. add sugar, it will make it taste better. also, try airborne for a nice boost. _____________________
