On one of her past trips to the doctor, Monica was given Mucinex nasal spray. I'm not sure why (I'm assuming she had a sinus infection at the time, and they thought it might help), but at any rate, she never used it. So I figured I'd give it a shot, since I'm now thoroughly congested due to the increasing pollen count. Surprisingly, it worked quite well, and I was actually able to breathe enough last night to where I got a full night's sleep, something I definitely wasn't expecting!
Now hopefully this stuff doesn't go the way of most new medications that I try...the first and/or second dose work really well, and then my body adapts to it and it doesn't work from then on. I'm hoping that I've found something that really works, and that will help me get through allergy seasons now and in the future. I guess that remains to be seen. I can only use it once every 10-12 hours, and although I'm really congested at the moment, I want to hold off using it as long as possible so I can use it as close to bed time as possible, and maybe get another decent night's sleep tonight.
If not, you'll get to my read a blog I have planned for the future called Pop Ice Are My Friends. We'll just have to see how it goes.
To all my allergy suffering friends out there, I feel your pain. I hope you've all found something to alleviate your symptoms, and if you have, and it works well, please let ME know! Thanks. :-)
