Zicam miracle...

I just have to say how much I love the product Zicam! If you don't know what it is, it's stuff you put in your nose the moment you start to feel sick and it shortens a cold and makes it less severe. I feel like I've hardly gotten sick at all this season. If you start taking it the instant you feel yourself getting sick, by the next day you're feeling better and by the 3rd day, you're pretty much over it. No coughs that hang on for weeks or runny noses and sore throats that take forever to go away. It's kind of pricey, about $9 for a tiny bottle at Wal-Mart but for me, that's well worth it not to be sick for 7-10 days. I use the bottle but put it on a cotton swab to swab my nose. My last bottle lasted through 3 colds. For a Mom who doesn't have weeks to lay in bed and be sick, it's the best! Happy flu season!

My problem is that I second guess myself too much, so by the time I've admitted that I have a cold its too late.

I've done that once and starting late didn't cut the cold length much but made the symptoms a lot less severe.
