Not dead yet
Jan. 15th, 2011 11:50 amWow. That Claritin-D stuff is powerful. It's probably similar overall to taking regular Claritin plus a dose of Sudafed, except that the decongestant part is geared to work for 24 hours. There's a lot of that decongestant thing, and I'll bet that there's a "non-drowsy" descriptor somewhere on the package. Not, shall we say, recommended for right before bed.
It did work. I was (after a while) able to breathe pretty freely, which meant I was mostly able to sleep (after a while). And the decongestant part does seem to be continuing to work, ~15 hours after I took the thing. It doesn't mean I'm not still blowing my nose regularly, or that I'm completely well in any other way. But... my throat hurts less, which is a good step as far as I'm concerned. Still not going to choir tomorrow though - it does still hurt, and I'm rather hoarse.
And it's supposed to get up to ~65 degrees today. Wooo!
And it's a long weekend. I have an interview Monday, but not till 1, which means I can sleep late and shower first. And hopefully there's enough time between now and then that I'll be largely recovered.
