age old question

Feel you on the weather. I feel like every year my health goes to s--t because of the cold/dry weather. My immune system takes a hit, seasonal depression takes hold (who am I kidding, it always has a hold...). Hang in there.

Regarding not telling your doc- I'd say don't do that? Give the doc the full picture if possible.

I've never had phlegm so I am not able to provide the answers you seek. Bumping this.

Hi Joan.

Are you using sinus wash? I gave up on antibiotics for all but the worst sinus infections, and actually have not had a bad one for a couple of years at least. Seriously, a good saline wash, not a wimpy rinse or spray, no medications in the water, just salt, at least once a day when I feel congested or drippy, gets me cleared right up. I sleep better, have more energy, don't catch colds that are going around.
