Oh, I'm sleeping this cold away, looking for a better way, for me.

Thursday my mother-in-law suggested I try a particular cold medicine.  She said it quieted her cough so well that she slept like a baby at night.  I picked up a box Friday and tried it Friday night.  It worked wonderfully.  I slept solidly until about 6:30 (which NEVER happens).  I took it again last night and slept soundly in spite of a sore throat, head congestion, a cough, and ear ache.

This morning I was still feeling lousy so I stayed home from church.  I got up to help Husband get the kids dressed & out the door (against my will, I might add), ate a little breakfast, took another cold tab, and went back to bed at 9:30.  When 1 o'clock rolled around, I realized my mother-in-law wasn't sleeping well because of a suppressed cough.  She was sleeping well because this stuff knocks you out.

I'm really glad I only took one tablet each time instead of the recommended (and packaged) 2 at a time.  If I'd have tried that dose, I'd be comatose until Monday afternoon, easily.
