... I haven't slept for more than 5-10 minutes at a time for the past 48 hours... every time I doze off I start to drown or choke on the contents of my sinuses ( Read more... )

Nasal irrigation. Neti pot.

No joke; you could back two smartcars into my sinuses without even being careful, and I used to get horrible days-or-weeks long banana-slug slimebeast infestations in them. Now I've got myself a neti pot and a mason jar full of 50% sea salt, 50% baking soda, and when I feel a cold coming on I put a teaspoon of that mix in the neti pot, fill it with warm water, and rinse out twice a day.

I just don't get protracted colds anymore, at all. And I can breathe much, much easier for the day or two that I do have them.

I swear by the Neti-Bottle.
I'm to much of a whoose to wait for the Neti Pot to drip through. The bottle is the same solution but you squeeze and blast that cr@p outta there. It says daily if you can, I do every 2nd... also clears some of the buggies out before they can get all the way in and wreak havoc. I started using it last year and I get maybe 1/3 of the cold I used to and my sinus stay clearer when I do succumb.
(((hugs))) and ~~~~healing vibes~~~~
