A Public Service Announcement

Extra Strength Tylenol Flu Daytime/Nighttime does not work for me. I repeat does NOT work for me. It may work for others, but not me :(

It's going to be a long night.

Sneeze
Cough, Cough
Wheeze
Sneeze
Honk

Sigh

Poor you! I hope it goes away quickly. Send somebody out to the pharmacy for better stuff. Night Nurse and Day Nurse work well for me when I am whacked upside the head with a killer cold.

Peggy - thanks. I've never heard of Night Nurse/Day Nurse. I rummaged around my medicine stash and found some Boots Congestion Relief and they did the trick so I eventually got some sleep. I just hate how these things always seem to stop working about 2 hours before you're allowed to take another dose :(

Tylenol's pad for your liver, anyway, and the sleeping component tends to dry you out, encouraging the infection to run down into your lungs.

Alcohol + lemon + honey = sleep-ish.

Well DaviMack you'd THINK the alcohol component would = sleep but in my twisted system it acts as a stimulant thereby making me wired for the night :( Decongestants which normally act as a stimulant to the regular public seem to allow me to sleep. Go figure!

So ... you're saying that you're hyperactive. Hmm.

Coffee?
