I've got a cold
It's fucking with my asthma, and making it rather difficult for me to sleep more than about an hour without waking up.

That's currently my only problem, so life ain't too bad.

Should I expect a healthy dose of MTFU?

Drink tea and use the blue inhaler
Take painkillers and a leedle beet of de booze.

I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry at the doctors this morning. They made me take a peak flow test, and found that my lung capacity should be around 690-700.

On my test I barely made 310. Not good.

Oh dear.
Some cold remedies affect asthma don't they?

Aye
Most things that people would use to clear a blocked nose or a thick head won't work on me. The only way I can clear anything is with the strongest cold medicine you can get legally.

Vicks really fucked me up a couple of years ago, I used the spray to help with a blocked nose, ended up having an asthma attack. Not good.

Have you got a really dodgy old-fashion chenist near you?
Ask them for BM or Black Magic, or at a push Ipecac & Morphine.
The pensioners go wild for it. I haven't had it for a couple of years and I hear they were trying to phase it out.
It is STRONG. It's got ethanol in it. It totally numbs your throat mad makes you really happy.

Erm
I thought Ipecac was what people used to make them vomit?

I'll give this cold another couple of days. If it's still here, I'll go for it. Either that, or take my friends suggestion, and have multiple hot toddys.

I dunno
I think it's short for ipecacuanha.
I may go and investigate properly. On The Internet.
Toddies will do no harm.
