Share your embarrassing moments please and make me not seem like such an idiot!

So it seems Snowbladder passed on his germs to me.

this is not good!

So I went on a mission tonight to find Pau d’arco in the burbs… 3 chemist later and i decided before it got too late that i should head into the one shop i know has it.

Fast forward 20mins to me being in the middle of Pitt Street, Sydney CBD in a tracksuit!!!

My mum would die!

I got my wonder drugs though! FTW

Is passing on the flu a similar technique to getting people drunk on powder days?

What dosage do you take of this wonder drug? I was under the impression it was a daily thing (you mentioned it as a vitamin replacement) or are you only dosing up when you feel under the weather?

I found some in my local health store the other day but when I looked at the recommended dosage (something like 6 a day) I realised the bottle wouldn’t go very far.

Nope, start taking it 3 times a day with food when you start feeling sick.

Ahh ok that’s more reasonable.

How have you found it for respiratory issues? 10 weeks and a packet of antibiotics later I still have a nagging cough and relying on ventolin at night. Usually my next step is prednisone (a steroid you don’t want to have to take often) so starting to get to the point where eating bark off a tree is sounding like an option!

DRC - I dose up when I show signs. Last night I popped 4 right away, will keep taking 4, 3 times a day. Maybe through saturday. Then drop back to 2, 3 times a day for maybe 3 days.

I think you should do a couple of days of double dosage and then keep taking it for about a month.

Funny you say respirtory issues, that is my first sign of getting sick. I only need ventolin when I have a cold and I needed ventolin yesterday, a also had a bit of an asthma cough.

Perignoson is actually not as evil as ventolin. Check it out… Ventolin is an evil evil bugger. Appropriate asthma mantanience is steroids NOT ventolin. Ventolin only eases for short term.

Ok thanks might be worth a shot, feel better about it not being a long term thing.

Yeah I’m permanently on Seretide as a preventative which is sterioid based.

Prednisone in high enough doses can have pretty nasty side effects which is why the weaning off period is so important and I only use it when my asthma is at it’s worst. They are horribly bitter tablets as well!

This year has been the first time in a while I’ve had to dig out the trusty nebuliser ended up with some decent shakes after the first nebule.

Generally feeling a lot better since I got rid of the infection just a naggy cough now and shortness of breath but it’s the length of time which is concerning.

Not might WILL!!

Trust me - you will be kicking yourself that you didn’t get onto it sooner!

haha probably not worthy of a latest purchase post but I guess I’ll soon find out just how good this wonder drug is!

Where do you buy this wonder drug, been sick for ages and willing to try something new? Does Chemist Warehouse stock it?
