anyone recommend options for congestion?
Steam. I have a steam gadget, but you can put your head over hot water and hold the steam in with a towel over your head. A hot shower can do it too. My approach is to clear out my nose, then use a nasal spray decongestant.
I miss many things about Georgia, but the regular threat of tornadoes is not one of them.
lisah and Ginger,
I have a humidifier, but I felt like that was clogging up my nose, not helping, but you know, I'll try it again tonight. I don't want to be stubborn.
I will also try a shower. the last one I took, my nose started bleeding, but since I'm taking meds, maybe that won't be a problem.
I hate sticking things up my nose but see my note on stubbornness. I will try that too.
I'll second the bowl of steam. I usually throw in a tea bag with a strong scent and sage or something that my nose will recognize. Then hold it in your lap and put a big towel over your head so you're inhaling as much steam as possible. It'll make your nose run.
Also, hot and sour soup will make your nose run. And I find the hotness feels good on an irritated throat.
Okay, y'all rock. thank you for the suggestions. I will report back in a few hours.
I just remembered--I used to treat my headache by inhaling menthol steam back when I was ten or so. I wonder if I could pick that up again?
Have you guys seen the VW ad? I am not feeling the accusation of racism on this one, no matter what Andrew Ti says. I would so much rather people hear that patois than any I've seen on TV in forever.

Ugh, Ginger. I'm glad you're safe! We spent half an hour huddled in our interior bathroom last night, with sirens going off all around us. (Fortunately, Rose thought the whole thing was just a fun 3am party in the bathroom!)
I wondered what you thought about that ad, ita !. I haven't actually seen it yet, but I saw the controversy.

And who doesn't have those once in a while, I ask you.
I got a Rx for prednisone because of my foot. My mom says it's going to make me perky and hungry, which sounds like a bad idea since I'm supposed to be staying off my feet as much as possible. But it's supposed to work, so fingers crossed.
