[Sister Havana]

When I have a sore throat, Campbell's Chunky Sirloin Burger with Country Vegetables Soup works wonders. I swear by the stuff.

Other things I need: comfy jammies, loads of tissues, juice, my Oscar the Grouch hand puppet which I've had since I was a baby, and my dog. Oh yes, and a bunch of good books.

I can't take cold medication during the day because pseudoephedrine interacts with one of the medications I take and I feel like I'm drowning inside my head and get really really drowsy. (At night it doesn't matter since I WANT to be drowsy!) Since almost all cold/flu medications contain pseudoephedrine HCI, I have to use regular Tylenol and nasal spray, which does not interact with my medication.
