Woe to the fucking wicked.

Brenda, I HIGHLY recommend not listening to them back to back. Something like one a day is a good pace to not get overloaded and have it lose its effectiveness.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Whereas I listened to 5-6 hours in a row on my last road trip.

They should fly you to work in the Seattle office at some point, damn it.

I support this also"

Heh. I've got a couple of 4 hour flights coming up. I'll just have to pace myself.

Does anyone here have Raynaud's? My mom is trying to get me to start taking low dose asprin daily because a doctor told my cousin to do so, saying it is a clotting problem. I'm dubious.

I thought I had Reynaud's, but I stopped taking Claritin every day and it seems to have gone away. Or at least I haven't seen any evidence of it despite going running in 30-degree weather a couple of times this winter.

According to the Mayo Clinic website, daily Sudafed can aggravate or present the symptoms of Reynaud's. Somethign about narrowing the blood vessels?

It's not a clotting issue with Reynaud's, it's a circulation issue. Daily low-dose aspirin is for risk of stroke.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I thought I had Reynaud's, but I stopped taking Claritin every day and it seems to have gone away.

Huh. Interesting.

I started taking Zyrtec again a couple days ago, and coincidentally had about the worst bout of depression I've had since I moved to Virginia (and stopped taking Zyrtec) five years ago. Today, without Zyrtec, I'm fine. I wonder if my depression while living in NJ was partly due to Zyrtec.

I wonder about under-reported side effects of common OTC drugs, sometimes.

They also mention Chlortrimeton, which is what I take but only occasionally; typically in warmer weather when things are pollinating.

My mom wants me to take aspirin and my dad wants me to move to San Diego. The one thing I've noticed helping was taking a daily bath instead of shower. Having the fingers and toes submerged in warm water for a period of time on a regular basis seemed to improve the circulation. Not that I do that now, but for a couple of years I only had a tub.
