Pregnant and Sick- Netipot!

I never EVER get sick! The past 3 days I have had the worst cold/flu that i've had in a long time.  My nose has been so stuffy that I couldn't sleep at night because snot would run out (TMI?! haha) and my throat felt awful because snot was dripping down it too.

 Anyways, I finally went to Walgreens this morning and asked the pharmacist what he recommended. I already have to take Unisom occasional for not being able to sleep (considered safe but.. I still don't want to push it) so I didn't necessarily want medications.

He suggested a Neti-pot and let me tell you- it was a life saver! I always throught they were for  granola hippies types which im really not and also thought it would make me feel like I was drowning.........but I feel so much better.

 So just a little tip for the rest of you.... if you start getting a cold this winter-  DONT BE SCARED OF THE NETIPOT! :)

P.S. Hope everyones weekend is going good :)

    Phew! When I opened this post I was afraid it was going to say I couldn't use my neti pot because it wasn't safe.  I am so relieved that they are good to use.  I am absolutely obsessed with mine.  It helps so much.  I have a friend who constantly struggles with sinus infections and she refuses to buy on and it makes me crazy!

    I am glad to hear that it is helping you feel a little better!

    My PCP says that she reccomends this to many of her patients because so many of them come back to tell her that they swear by it.  My DH and best friend use it and just love it.  Plus, it's pretty darn cheap, considering you could eliminate prescription allergy pills if you use it often enough.

    So sorry you are feeling crummy. :(

    I've heard wonders about the netipot but have never had the guts to try it myself. Next time I hope I get the courage to grab one and use it. (Gives me the shivers just thinking about it.)

    Hope you're feeling a bit better today!
