I followed up with a couple shots of Afrin, which I'd been using all along and it would only work for an hour or two. I was actually able to breathe through my nose most of the night. I woke up this morning and now my right side is plugged up. And my ears hurt because I wasn't gentle about blowing my nose. I'll try the Neti again in a few hours.<BR/><BR/>You definitely should consider signing up with the bone marrow registry! You're minority & mixed-race status are definitely in high demand!!!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17025939868888943121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952642451686418497.post-91429641049173318312008-12-30T00:44:00.000-05:002008-12-30T00:44:00.000-05:00You poor thing!

The other nasal decongestant that I found that helps is Afrin (and that was only because I couldn't take OTC stuff when I was EBF). The stuff burns your nose and eyes like crazy but it'll clear you up for probably 6-8 hours. I have heard that it's highly addictive (I never had that problem) and so just wanted to mention that. <BR/><BR/>Regardless, I hope you feel better and that your day is better tomorrow. :)<BR/><BR/>Oh, and keep us posted on the marrow donation. I'm seriously considering signing up since I'm a minority, as well as bi-racial (both of which I hear are in high demand).Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197543728478192030noreply@blogger.com
