Oh, make sure you ask for a few post op trannys (de-dicked) when you call. All mine came with little joysticks and it got kind of old after 3 or 4 hours. Get well soon!

Anler Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I have been using airborne for years and swear by the stuff. Start taking it every 4 hours till you feel better. I almost never get sick and can't even remember the last time I had a cold or anything. And I have 2 school aged kids who are always sick and work in a lot of hospitals.

old indy Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Try oregano oil. Taken the moment you feel something coming on it will fend it off. If its already got you it will get rid of it quick. I take it almost daily and havent been sick but one time in probably four years some bug did hit me last year for three days but it passed far faster than everyone else that was sick around me for two weeks or more For under ten bucks a bottle lasts me close to a year. 100% essential oil of oregano. One or two drops a day Really works wonders 👍 It IS tough to drink no question but worth it. Very strong chit Edited January 13, 2017 by old indy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week it took me down. This week much better but still dragging a little. I think I'm past the worst part which was the chest congestion and hacking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
