About twice a year Rawdawg usually gets sick or experiences cold/flu-like symptoms. It usually happens in the fall and right around now when the weather starts to warm up and we head into spring. . .
I am not a doctor and definitely do not have the answers to your common ailments, however I thought it would be cool to share something that I have found extremely useful in curbing the common cold associated with the changing of the seasons.
About 3 days ago I started to get that feeling in my throat and nasal passages that a cold was right around the corner. You guys know what I am talking about so I don't have to go into the details. . .For whatever reason I went into our medicine cabinet and we had some Super-B-Complex vitamins which my wife had stored up. I never took these vitamins before, but being the experimental dawg that I am, I decided to give them a shot and see if they would help these symptoms.. I took 1 of these vitamins in the morning and one before bed. Amazingly enough, all of my cold symptoms were gone the next day.
Maybe it was a placebo effect and my body-mind cured itself or maybe there is something to these vitamins. Anyhow, I am not a doctor and this should not be taken as medical advice, however I figured I should share this with those who don't feel like taking the nasty OTC medications. Maybe this will help next time you feel that nasty cold coming on.
Just an FYI, I did notice myself having to pee quite a bit more than usual after taking the vitamins so long car rides would not be advised. Especially for you women with the weak bladders. :)
