cold remedies & RLS

[Guest guest]

Hi & all,

All of the OTC's for colds you mentioned have sent me to hell

and back; the RLS became that bad! I stay away from them, but

Contac C (time release) brand, works OK for me. I'm not sure why. Perhaps

less/more of an ingredient that does not aggravate RLS, or maybe it is

because of the " time release capsules " that makes the difference.

Also, lemon tea or peppermint tea with a good heaping tablespoon of honey

helps my cough. Eucalyptus (sp?) oil in your bath helps clear the sinuses

and soothe body aches. I have a facial steamer and when it is really bad, I

use it with the eucalyptus. Sooner or later I'll probably damage the unit,

but heck, if it helps, so be it! :-)

Then again, a cold runs its course anyway, no matter what you take.

I've found that out, too. (groan)

Hope this helps.
