Ladies help?

Has anyone taken sudafed for colds? I have had a runny nose with a really bad headacke and body acke. I'm hoping it is not a viral flu like bug so far just 3 days of overall acke. And my monthly friend is here also. My doctor wants me to just increase iron from 29 gms a day to double that once in morning and one in the evening. Nothing taste good soup, crackers, protein bars...... Crystal light sunrise seems to be the only thing that taste pretty good..... Wishing everyone stays healthy......Hugs Suzan

Hi Suzan, Sorry your not feeling well, I had that cold thing last week. I took Tylenol Cold Day & Night. It worked good but made me very nausua. Hope you find relief soon. Carly

Yep, have taken the meds and am fine. In fact take them almost every day for my allergies. Try tylenol cold meds, might work better.

Hi Suzan, I haven't had to take anything YET but I am sure that day will come when I catch whatever is going around the office. Sounds like you've been hit with a double-whammy. I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. Do you need to increase your iron while you are on your period or is this something you need to do continually? Just curious as my iron level was just a slight bit low with my last bloodwork. Anyways, make sure you are getting in your liquids if anything and rest if you can. Hope you feel better soon.

I have taken sinus/allergy meds almost everyday since surgery and have had no problems. Karla

Thank You everyone for posting......I have been sleeping off the day. My surgeon doctor office wants me to increase my iron to 60 grams a day during my period but usually I take 29 daily. And my primary doctor told me to take any Tylenol product. So I took Tylenol flu for ackes, pain, sinus, cold. It really knocks you out. i have to go back to work tomorrow since I am throwing a Luau for over 200 seniors and family members in Palo Alto on Saturday. Sound check with the band is tomorrow. Hopefully my assistannt shows up to work tomorrow and she can help me a little. Sending LOVE back to everyone that helped me....... Suzan
