Ask a pharmacist if you're taking something already

that's what happens to you when you go around wearing ladies' panties!

thats the problem I am not I have had to suffer for this past four weeks some of the chemist people dont know what they are doing I went into asda just before christmas to see what I could take and the asistant said oh you will be alright taking this cough medicine when my girlfriend looked at it there was quite a high alcohol content in it if I had taken that I would have finnished up in the intensive care I cant muck about with these tablets that I am on if any alcohol is taken then they have got to get medical attention to me with in 10 minutes otherwise it is curtains for me thats how bad they are and I am on these for the rest of my life you wouldnt belive the things I cant have I cant use aftershave,sauces, malt vinegar or anything else that as got alcohol in.

That's what Mr Strix said, but I refused to type :D

I said ask a pharmacist. The assistants are not qualified pharmacists.

You could try phoning NHS direct. I've used them before. They ask you loads of questions, but at least they're thorough

I dont wear ladies panties infact I dont wear anything under my jeans never had never will.

whatever your preference of underwear!!....try menthol and Eucalyptus.. you add it to hot water and smell at it ...it eases congestion of the head and nose... as for medicines etc...try the doctor to be on the safe side....

do you mind me asking why my post has been moved and big kevs hasnt.surely he should be asking the experts??

we arent a race of atomic supermen, we dont read every thread and mainly we rely on people reporting posts.

true, but thought id mention it for you so you could move it to the right place as well .....sorry kev thinking of you also!

well, as i say, we dont read every thread, the "report a post" function is the best method of communicating such things to us :thumbsup:

try a mug of hot milk,with a teaspoon of ground ginger in,wrap up in loads of clothes and sweat it out,you might find your own ways of sweating it out though :blush:

what other ways can I sweat it out my girlfriend as got it and she does'nt feel like it I suppose I could try it with a frog thats if I can stop it from jumping HA HA, and I dont feel like riding my bike too windy besides I am not into exercise waste of time if you ask me I would just rather use my pc the only trouble is my keyboard is getting sticky with my nose running all the time.!

echineaca or whatever its called - get it from herbal shop in m'hall upstairs near Bank and Republic. Take 4 a day for 6 weeks, have two week break and start again. stop moaning big girl! (MEN!):D
