I’ve suffered from allergies since I can remember. And most medicines that I take usually don’t help me at all. But a doctor recommended to me that I use Zicam allergy relief gel swabs and much to my surprise, I’m very happy with what it has
done for me so …

No one could even begin to imagine what a woman’s body and emotions go through during menopause, unless of course you are the parent of a teenager with raging hormones. The rollercoaster moods can leave our family and friends shaking their heads wondering what happened to the person they …

This product has been around a long time but it is still a popular medicine for cold and flu season. I keep a box of this at my house at all times as my husband and I both really like it. I purchased this product at Wal-Mart for about …

I could not really believe that a cheap generic medicine could heal my bad cough. I was really surprised about the effectiveness of Carbocisteine capsule. My cough was really bothersome and it was giving me fever already. At first I was not mindful of the cough because I …

This has always been my favorite neighborhood pharmacy. The pharmacists are very efficient and will deliver their prescriptions in a timely matter. The pharmacy tech will give you the option to wait or come back later. They have a small waiting room where I like to measure my blood …

I was an early developer during the stages of puberty. My menses started when I just turned eleven. In addition to my period starting early it was very heavy and lasted for eight days. The most horrible part of this time however was the cramps that I would get. …

When can you use Otrivin? I normally use Otrivin when I have problem with my nose. Flu can caused running nose. And sometimes, I had a hard time to breath because the nose is closed when I have flu.
And that’s the time when I use Otrivin. I normally …

A cough is something that I have never really learned to deal with. Having a chronic cough drives me insane. I try to use whatever products I can get my hands on to fight a cough whenever I do have to deal with one. I have found that some …

Have you ever heard of Cell U Loss product? I tried to take this product few years ago. The idea was very simple. I wanted to lose some weight from my body with the help of this supplement. Together with the other diet products, I consumed this product. One …

Long lasting pain relief. I’ve heard that far too many times and far too many times has it not been true. I was hoping beyond hope that IcyHot would come through for me when it came to my muscle pains, so I purchased the IcyHot Medicated Applicator. It’s a …

Whenever there is a sudden change of climate especially from scorching hot sunny to cooled down rainy weather, I will most definitely get a sore throat. My mom always says that it is common in people who have a normally higher body temperature.
When the sore throat happens it …

It never fails, whenever I take some time off from work, I get sick (I think it’s because my body realizes it’s sick whenever it gets a chance to relax).
Since I do work on commission, using my sick time really isn’t an option; unless I’m in my death bed. …

I get sore throats pretty regularly, far more often than I’d like anyway, because I have severe allergies that often drain and all the swallowing and blowing my nose and coughing up mucus (not a pretty picutre, I know), seems to cause a sore throat more often than not. …

I think that Advil is one of the best pain relievers & reducers. It is the only one that will take my headaches away the fastest. Other pain relievers and reducers will take them away but they take a while. Not only that but sometimes they don’t help at …

I find this Bronchial Mixture from Sainsbury’s own brand to be an adequate expectorant which soon gets me expelling the phlegm from my lungs, but an ineffective cough suppressant. I have had a couple of bad cold viruses in succession and I am entirely fed up with the …

Well, as the TV commercials say “it tastes awful, but it works”. Buckley’s Coughs and Congestion (original mixture) definitely does both.
It is definitely a good thing that it doesn’t contain sugar or alcohol, though, because I had to take a lot of it over the course of the cold …

I sometimes have numbness of both my extremities especially after a hard days work, most especially after I wash clothes and after I clean our house. This condition, I think, is due to peripheral neuropathy. I tried several medications already for this problem such as high doses of …

However, I have had a positive effect with this one …

One of the babies I kept was really gassy, and the parents and I tried various products before finding one that worked well enough to take care of the problem. One that we didn’t have much success with was Little Tummys Gripe Water.
It came in a 4 ounce …

I try not to take medication unless I absolutly have to. I also hate going to the doctors office, especially when I am sick. All you want to do when you are sick is lay around not sit in a doctors office for three hours for a two minute …
