Growing up, I had two old batchelor Great-Uncles who swore by Blackberry Brandy whenever they got a cold . .
For me, it's Tang and 7-Up (the only time I'll tolerate either of them is when I'm ill!)
Get Better Soon, Dream . . *hugs*

Oh Dreamy, sorry to hear your ill, Vics Vapour rub, lemsip, or the Hot milk with Honey..mmmmmm, the latter I don't know if it works but it sure tastes nice.
Will think of you, get well soon...
Hugs and Warm blankets

 Thanks so much my friends! I feel better today than I have in the last 10 days or so......over the worst but gosh it does linger! Onwards and upwards!! I swear by one our darling Joe gave me years ago now.....Rum or any goodly spirit, slices of ginger, honey and slices of garlic........add that to a sachet of flu or cold relief and off to bed! Quite a nice feeling I must say *chuckles*  to all.

heehee..well you know where my taste for rum came from...my dad used to give us a shot with sugar mixed into it when we were kids.
We have something here called Cold FX..works bloody well, maybe I should send you some!

Bill swears by zicam and I too must admit that, while it may not immediately alleviate the symptoms it does help you to get better in no time. While we had our colds in Belgium, I did two pharmacies and two healthfood/ alternative medicin stores to be able to find it. Not only did they not have it, they hadn't even heard from it. Fie on them!
