Won't try that again
Tired of coughing, decided to give modern pharmaceuticals a chance. Got a package of Tylenol Cold & Sinus pills this morning. Around 9AM took one pill. Waited for action; nothing happened. Around 11:30, read the package, noticed it said to take two at a time, so took two.
Did it decongest? Well, somewhat. Lungs did loosen up a bit. But at the same time the Tylenol sent me into a semi-hallucinogenic state for a half hour.
Back in hippie times the latter would have been fun. Now it's just scary.
No thanks! If that's the price of clearing the lungs a little faster than otherwise, it's too high. (Didn't intend that pun, but might as well leave it!)
From now on I'll stick to exercise and steam.

Two days later: Yup. Finally got 7 hours of unbroken sleep. Just like last time: Lungs all clear now. Yay! ¶ 3:00 PM
