I had some, but we also had some that were WAY out of date. <br /><br />This weekend, Hubby asked for some "fresh stuff." I don't know why he doesn't want to use cold meds that expired a year ago! <br /><br />(Just kidding. I would not ask him to take anything that old.... though I might take it myself.)Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817017829323955078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6379327498578817385.post-49350611760018262862010-12-07T20:59:45.811-06:002010-12-07T20:59:45.811-06:00Oh I hope you are feeling all better now.... funny...Oh I hope you are feeling all better now.... funny what you said about cold meds....

Same with the dissolving tablet...I have the orange flavor. not bad taste, but KNOWING it's meds makes me gag LOL.<br />Hope you feel better (good)!spaghetti0625https://www.blogger.com/profile/07906887854962265820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6379327498578817385.post-64575587204436016372010-12-03T13:06:54.881-06:002010-12-03T13:06:54.881-06:00Hi, Annie Jones.

I think anything that makes you feel better, even if it is only in your mind, is a good thing!Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817017829323955078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6379327498578817385.post-28762378512235561492010-12-03T12:26:49.247-06:002010-12-03T12:26:49.247-06:00Any time I've tried Zicam or any of the other ...Any time I've tried Zicam or any of the other zinc remedies, they cause such a bad taste in my mouth that I won't use them. It makes everything I eat or drink taste odd, and for me, that's almost as bad as being sick.<br /><br />Have you ever noticed that side effect?<br /><br />I have had some luck with Nutribiotic GSE (Grapefruit Seed Extract). I take it whenever I even suspect I'm coming down with something and usually I don't get sick or only mildly sick. Of course, there's always that chance that I wasn't really sick anyway, but as Shane and I have both said, even if something is just a placebo, if you think it works, then it works.
