Try being a rhinitis sufferer with a cold! The worst stuffy nose ever! So stuffed it can't be blowed... And eating? Urgh! I have to take breaths between bites! (cuz I can't breath while I'm chewing, seriously.)
Rhinitis is a dustmite allergy... that I, unfortunately, have.
*hugs RIG* Hope you feel better soon! You and Rodney can help each other feel better!

Have you tired a saline nasal rinse? I've been using one for some time now and it has helped me in dealing with my allergies. I rinse every couple of days. Just a thought.

I didn't mean that I'm sick now... at least not with a cold anyway(had me a stomach bug last week). A saline nasal rinse? No... I do use a nasal spray, Afrin, but only when I have a cold and only at night so I can sleep. I can deal with a stuffy nose during the day... afternoon really cuz when I use the spray at night it lasts until mid/late afternoon and I just deal with it until I can use the spray at night. I need to sleep and it's just not possible for me to do with a stuffy nose, NOT POSSIBLE!

Rodney always helps me feel better.
Good to hear your not sick with a cold!

Saline nasal rinse....I use Ayr. You just open a packet, which is just sodium chloride and pour into a squirt bottle (came with the package I bought) filled with warm water, put up to one nostril, and squeeze the bottle forcing the saline solution up and it comes out the other nostril, giving your nasal cavity a good cleaning. Feels kinds weird at first, but the benefits outway the weirdness. Has helped me anyway!

Thanks for the info, I'll have to try it sometime.
Wow, this thread has been fairly quiet while I was gone and definately quiet the last 2 days. Moving it up from page 3 so it won't be too neglected.
Now that I am back, hope to catch up on some nice whumpy fic. I saw that Raven's is finished as well as Varda's so I should be all set for a bit. Yay
Responding to the above talk:

I have heard from several people at work and my father in law who use the saline rinse and say that it helps quite a bit. Must say just the thought of it kind of grosses me out so fortunately I don't get a stuffy nose too often.
I'm still whumping Rodney in my latest WIP. I'm letting the story go as it pleases (there is a map though!) so I don't know how long it's going to be or have an estimated completion date
McKAY: Hey, I can eat frozen dinners without thawing them. (~Trinity)
I had a grading at karate tonight (2nd Kyu for those in the know, brown belt + one stripe) It just made me think of this...

Rodney's belt isn't tied properly Don't know what Sheppard/Weir are laughing about... being hit repeatedly in the stomach, even with pads, hurts like hell um
