Horse Pills
28 June 2008 – 11:26 am
So it’s official, my cold is actually a sinus infection. 
I caught it almost a month ago on my flight to New York, but sticking to my no pills unless you absolutely need them policy I avoided going to doctor until this week.
Truthfully the main reason I went was to stop the motherly looks of concern I was getting at work. My cube neighbors would say, “Who cares if you have multiple meetings today? Go home, rest and then call the doctor.”
While I still think I could have beaten this cold with a couple more weeks, I am grateful for everyone’s concern. 
The Remedy
Apparently the remedy includes taking multiple ‘horse pill’-esque prescriptions and a nasal spray taken twice a day for two weeks! These pills are massive and they don’t have an enteric coating so they start dissolving the instant they hit your tongue and taste like metallic crap.
In any case I’ll stop complaining, who knows, modern medicine may be on to something… I am feeling slightly better.
