Mucinex IS guafanesin. But it’s great for clearing out congestion, just drink lots of water. Benzonatate works pretty good as well, but is prescription only. The muck is definitely going around, I know lots of people who are super sick, and a few babies who are in the hospital with RSV. I’m prone to getting bronchitis, so I take lysine and NAC to help with viruses and keeping my lungs clear.
Guafanesin is much less expensive than Mucinex.
True... however, I don't know if you can find generic time release guaifenesin.
Yes, really huge savings. I'm blessed to get it from the VA, and I'm service connected so no co-pay. When we had covid last year the clinic gave each of us Mucinex among other things. The meds for that flu was about $180 so it was all expensive.
It’s even cheaper when you buy generic at Costco or Sams! That’s generally where I get most of my generic meds. If I want naproxen (aleve), I want 500 of them, and I wanna pay less than $10.
I was taking it every four hours and didn't need time released.
Can goats choke? I’ve caught them eating the most ridiculous things and nothing seems to phase them. :facepalm:
My big billy goat Buddy use to eat avaccado seeds and they are big and hard. He's gone, I hope he's resting in peace, he was a sweet heart.
Everyone is getting sick. My MIL sounds awful, and I’ve been getting worse throughout the day, but I think mine is more from being at a waterpark for several days, then camping this weekend during our cold snap.
I have to take up for your DDIL, what she is doing is not making her sick. She'd probably be in worse shape if she didn't avoid many things. She probably has a lousy immune system.
Yeah, it's probably a poor immune system.
I understood your point but I was disagreeing with you. What she is doing is healthy and it may be extreme to many people but its a good way to eat. I'll pray for her that she gets her immune system in better shape. What she ate when she was growing up probably had an adverse affect on her. Frankly I'm horrified with what people eat here on the forum but I try really hard not to critisize. I'm a firm believer in we are what we eat, but it takes time to cure what you ate when you were growing up.The point I was trying to make is that even though she is extremely overboard with what she eats and puts on her body, she still gets sick with everything going around. Not that what she is doing makes her sick.
It is really hurtful to go out of your way and work so hard to make food for someone and they don’t appreciate it, I think it would be even worse to do it and the person(s) not even try it.
I don't think that's a reflection on you. My son has a restricted diet. And I have had people decide to just ignore parts of it, because it was inconvenient, but then try to tell me they didn't. Even when I saw them doing it. Have that happen enough and you get a bit cautious, even with well meaning folks.
That can definitely make a difference. Many years ago we had some guys come to a fellowship meal at church, they were going to bible college and had come along with the visiting preacher. Someone had made and brought meatloaf to the meal. My husband fixed his plate, sat down next to me and said “Those guys don’t even know what meatloaf is“ after hearing someone trying to explain to them what it was. LOL, I told him they were from Russia and probably really didn’t know what it was! They did seem to enjoy the veggie platter I made but they sure didn’t want to try the meatloaf and I can find no fault with that!
