For Those Of You Who've Had Or Still Got 'that' Cold....

It seems that a lot of us have had this stinking cold recently and are finding it difficult to shift. I have had mine for three weeks now and although the sneezing and nose blowing has finished, I am still coughing, sometimes uncontrollably and feel very drained and lethargic. I have also found it difficult to eat.
Yesterday a younger friend recommended Metatone tonic to me and I got some on the way home.

So far, I have had three doses and can honestly say I feel so much better today. I have even managed to clean my windows instead of staring at them thinking, 'I can't do that.'

I've never had any form of tonic before but this seems to be working for me.

I think that's what I got when I had a bad cold and was going on holiday to Prague, it definitely kept me going. If not that, if was something very similar, had that, the vitamin C you dissolve in water and drink and day nurse, got me through the holiday :)

Thanks, Tilly, I'll try that, mine is hanging on x

bednobs

or the other thing could be that after 3 weeks you are at the end of it therefore feeling better??

An old old tonic...perhaps 50 years old......main ingredient is Vit Bcomplex.

At one time this Vitamin B was mixed with dextro amphetamine sulphate by an American company called Parke-Davis and is was marketed as Stimplete which was Metatone +....;-)

That is now been "knocked on the head" and Metatone survives,

It could be that I am better, bednobs. I agree .However, I shall continue to take it until I feel 100%. I think the fact that I have not been eating has made me feel drained as well. I'm sure a few extra vitamins is what I need to get me back to 'fighting fit'

I'm just coming up to three weeks and feel the same, the fatigue and nausea have been awful. It's been very flu like.

three weeks, is that all? You don't know you're alive. I've had mine since April 3, when it was still snowing. And it is not getting one tiny bit better.

I too have succumbed to the most awful cold I have had for years. On top of other things it is really getting me down. You ladies have my sympathies it is horrible. I am interested in that tonic Tilly, I will try anything !!

I think a lot of people think they have a cold this time of year and its actually a good dose of Mayfever. It took me years to realise it was the bloody trees making me feel pants. Not that I am suggesting you have hayfever but I've met a few people who don't realise they don't have colds.

jno

OH has what might be hayfever though we're not sure as it's just as bad indoors as out, in wind or calm etc. Mine's definitely a cold as all I've had recently is a hacking cough; my nose hasn't been streaming since mid-April

My hayfever affects me indoors jno, i wake up with it. That's when it's at its worst as I assume the antihistimines are at their least therapeutic level.

jno

OH's comes and goes a bit, but not according to any pattern we can see. Some days are supposed to be worse for hayfever than others, but it doesn't seem to make any difference in our own personal little sanatorium.
