I worship at the altar of the Giant F'n "Q"!


Oh, sweet NyQuil, wrap me up in the cocoon of your translucent deep green slumber. Vanquish my enemy symptoms of distress, and PLEASE try not to damage my liver any more than it already is.

Oh Nyquil, I love you so..... :loveya:

2. I understand!
Many medications have the opposite effect on me too, but NyQuil is one of the few which doesn't, and hence, part of the reason I love it so! :loveya:

:hi" Kittycat! Hope you're having a better week.

6. I am, hell, it couldn't have gotten worse LOL
can't drive again for 3 months. :cry: And the side effects from the anticonvulsants are hell, but on the upside, I'll take the side effects over seizing.

4. Are you sick?
Weren't you just sick? Damn Zomby, take care of yourself. I swear by Zicam, I just stopped a cold dead in it's tracks this past weekend. If it doesn't work NyQuil is as good as it gets.

8. Just hit me yesterday
I am not sure what it is, but my nose isn't running like normal when getting a cold. Some people have work have been felled by this... it's respiratory, with a sore throat involved.

Tomorrow night I audition for "Waiting For Godot", and I need to be in good shape!

:hi: Muse!

10. Damn
Zomby! I was wondering if you had auditioned yet and meant to ask you last week but got sidetracked. Influenza? How does the rest of you feel? Lots of fluids, aspirin and NyQuil, a blankie and a good book. MaMa Lynne says so. Be sure to let us know how the audition goes, I will send good performance thoughts to you. :hi: back now get to bed!

12. well........ok ;-)
Waiting until sleep time to take the NyQuil... but meanwhile had a few glasses of extra-Vitamin C and Zinc-enriched orange juice, and two decongestant tablets.

Going to keep some water handy too.

I managed to slog through work, and truth be told, that taxed me. I can't read with any sort of concentration while I feel this way. :-(

:hug: *at a safe distance of course*

14. NyQuil....
The 'nightime sniffling, sneezing, coughing... what the hell am I doing on my kitchen floor?' medicine :)

I agree, I've been doped up on DayQuil all day, keeps me at least somewhat functional.

I hope your throat is cooperative for your audition tomorrow!

Just being home makes me feel a little better. Those decongestants from the First Aid kit helped me get some phlegm out! Wearing sweats and watching Law & Order reruns on TNT... I may pull through yet.

I'd be giving you some respitory therapy by pounding your back if I was there. That always helps break that junk up.

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. Hopefully you'll sleep well.

44. I think these days
They add battery acid and formaldehyde... but basically the same, yes!

(and the green coloring back then came from squeezing mint leaves by hand, and running them through pure grain alcohol!)

51. I concur
Though I declare the CHERRY FLAVOR gives me an equal burning sensation, while at the same time, I get to relish the taste of the chemicals used in trying to create the faux cherry flavour.

I bet I get more chemicals than you do!

68. The little cup is cool, but
I wouldn't know. I don't get sick very often, so I've never had NiQuil. Maybe the next time I'm near death with the cold (the only kind I seem to get, and then only once every 5-8 years) I'll give it a shot!
