Started As Pollen-Triggered Allergies

[DEEKAYPEE8569]

.....now it feels like a summer cold. Self-medicating doesn't seem to be working, so it's off to the M.D......but couldn't get an appointment til Monday; and the grass needs to be cut this weekend.
I have a feeling I'm gonna be in way worse shape than I already am now, come Monday. Here's hoping I'm not. :fingerscrossed:

Mine started last Thursday. Exact same symptoms. Started out feeling like my typical allergies but then turned into something else. The worst part was I ran a fever on and off all weekend. Finally began to shake it Monday. All that's left now is the cough.

Why would anyone go to the Dr. for a cold? What a waste.

If we all used plastic flowers we wouldn't have all this pollen.

Most of it is trees. So....

Because it could have turned into a sinus infection.

Who said anything about going to the Dr. for a cold??

Or try the famers market at BAE or Sotterley. Keepin it Local in Morganza carries it.

 

[DEEKAYPEE8569]

You did.

When? No, more importantly, where? Please quote the post in this thread in which I specifically said I went to the doctor for a cold.

You even quoted what I said. You must not have read every word though. In part, I said 'FEELS like a summer cold.' For all I know, it's something else. THAT is why I'm going to the Dr..

I'm hoping to be able to find it in Mech'ville. Morganza's somewhat of 'a hike' just for honey.

I mentioned the local honey remedy to a friend who told me he was going to be in the Mech'ville area. Today, he hands me a label-free honey bear. So, I tasted it. It has a distinct taste; unlike the honey you find in the store. So far today, I've had three picnic spoonsful. .....and yes, that's how you say it.

ONE a day. Period. This is not a case of 'if a little is good, more is great..."

If it was label free how do you know it is honey made locally?

Yeah.

Well, my first thought was; like with prescription medication when you first start taking it; take a double dose the first time, then take as prescribed. That usually works.
I don't know if it's because I doubled the suggested intake yesterday, but I do feel better today. Point taken.

Well, I don't. I'm just taking the word of the person who got it for me; said it was from the Amish who sell honey and other things in front of Tractor Supply.
This honey doesn't taste like the NC honey you find in the grocery store. It tastes stronger, yet not as sweet. It's pretty tasty.

I'm just saying to treat it like medicine.

Think about it; the cure for a snake bite is some snake venom. The cure for polio is a little bit of virus. People are immune to all sorts of things they were exposed to in small doses. Allergy shots, same thing. That's why it works; a LITTLE bit of what ails you. Which is why it needs to be local and raw. The goodies are IN there. So, then, it becomes 'how much is enough' and how much is not?' One spoon a day was suggested to me so, that's what I am doing.

So, listen to your body. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less?
