Mucinex RULES

I am sitting on the couch, where, I believe, I have made a permanent butt print from sitting/trying to sleep here for the last 50-hours (surrounded by used Kleenex). I bit the bullet today and went back to the office for an official "diagnosis". After seventeen billion blood tests, a urine test, a throat and nose swab, an EKG, and having to look sicker than I am for the benefit of my co-workers (which wasn't really hard since I feel like crap), it turns out that I have bronchitis and an upper respiratory infection (which is fancy doctor talk for "common cold").

Naturally, I had my prescription called into Walgreen's due to their "convenient" drive through prescription pick up. Turns out that it is not convenient at all since you have to get in and out of your car five times to give them personal and insurance information. Then, because one of the medicines the doctor prescribed is over-the-counter, I had to go into the store and make a completely separate purchase.

I was really miffed at the time until I got home and took that medicine - MUCINEX. I am sorry, but Mucinex is the best medicine on the face of the planet. It loosened up my entire head so I was able to take a two hour nap without waking up once. It has almost completely alleviated my sinus headache. I love it so much, I want to take the entire bottle right now.

Now if I could just get rid of the cough and the sore throat, I would be set!

Sore throat-take 2 ibuprofin and suck on some Cepacol throat lozenges. You'll be fine in no time. Mucinex rules.

I too agree that Mucinex is marvelous.
