[QUOTE="Star*, post: 406593, member: 4964"] (makes sign of the cross and dawns hermedically sealed hazmat suit) -----germophobe.......sprays lysol and sits to chat briefly. I'm not a nurse.....or medically inclined.....but it sounds like you are taking too MUCH stuff. Sudafed I think - dries you up......you're already plugged up.
