Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

I went bike riding yesterday, the temperature was like 40 or so? Rode about 10 to 15 miles. Sunny and not much real wind..

Anyway, now my nose won't stop running!

Been taking some, "Guaifenesin", to help it drain and hopefully dry it out. Not working??

What do I do? Can't sleep for snorting crap all night long and spitting.

I have always had BAD post nasal drip, but this is ridiculous!

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Guaifenesin will make it run more even though you may need it. I would try Antihistamines . Steroid nose sprays like Nasalcort might help you and let you stop taking antihistamines but the must be used for at lest 3 weeks to take full effect. I think Nasalcort is the spray that's available without a script. All the other sprays require a prescription. I'm on everything in the doctor's tool box and if the wind is blowing and I'm outside my nose is a content drip sometimes.

the gas chamber in boot camp did a pretty good job of clearing you out.

Funny lefty ---

Seems the cold trigger's my nose running for some odd reason?

But I have worked in so many dirty/dusty industrial boilers, steel mill reheat furnaces and soaking pits, power plant combustion chambers and boilers, cement preheat towers, aluminum reverb melters, HAZ- WASTE Incinerators and such when I worked for AP Green refractories that more than likely my sinus membranes are screwed up which aggravates the problem.

The little red Sudafed pills worked for me, but you can't get them anymore. Last time I tried, they looked at me driver's license then sold me a generic.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Cetirizine Hydrochloride Tablets"

Thanks Ken, I will try them ASAP.

Merry Christmas!

Sudafed contains pseudoephedrine hence the name.
Some people have been known to use it to make weird stuff.

It is legal to get. The reason they take your drivers license is you're only allowed to have a limited amount at 1 time. They track how much you're buying and if it is more than the amount you need the sale should be denied and law enforcement notified.

While brand-name original Actifed is no longer sold in the United States, generic versions are still available. Just look for products containing 2.5 mg of triprolidine hydrochloride and 60 mg of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. Your pharmacist can help you find a generic version of Actifed.
