WTF, body? I need suggestions please.

How is it possible for my body to produce a seemingly endless amount of snot? Where does it come from, and why won't it leave?

My eyes vibrate every time I try to breathe through my nose, and I've used a box of tissues in two days (but can't bring myself to use anything but throw-away-able stuff because it's just so gross). I'm starting to feel it move into my chest, which is not good.

In the last five days, I've tried a neti, nasal spray, vitamins, peppermint oil, and a steaming shower...any other suggestions for how to make this stop and/or get it out of my system before I wind up at the doctor?

    Lots of moist heat, a heat back on your chest & at the base of your neck/accross your shoulders, gargle something w/ a high alcohol volume (I use tequilla), a sinus flush (forced instead of graviatational like a neti), and coughing while upside down off the side of your bed.

    I have no suggestions ... but I'm wondering if you gave it to me, or if I gave it to you.  Dang these computer viruses.

    That may be the best reason to buy tequila I've ever heard, Jenni. I'll try the heat packs after lunch, too.

    And Dobie, I'm 99% sure that DH gave it to me, so, um, anything you need to tell me about what your computer has been doing with his?

    There is no possible way that I am a lush or anything...

    No, silly.  If he gave it to you, then obviously you gave it to me.  Through the interwebs.  That's how computer viruses work, right!?

    Honestly, at day five and getting worse, I'd be calling the doctor.  Now, if you were at day five and holding, or day five and improving, I'd say just ride it out.  Since you're spiraling downward, though, I'd just go in.
