Roommate has questions, and I don't know enough to give answers. Anyone know anyone who might be able to help with information about a misbehaving kidney (including what else might be good to take a look at)? If so, point them here.


Forgive my incoherency, as I appear to have misplaced coherency. Being awake for no good reason from 2am-4am probably isn't helping. :)

OK, maybe _some_ good reason. Coughing and cough drops and goddammit I'm tired of being sick! (of course, I tend to be tired of being sick even if I've only been _almost_ sick for long enough. Worse when I don't manage to avoid actually getting sick)


Weird being sick & tired for multiple days in a row, and yet bizarrely cheerful today. Perhaps because my head, while still hurting, hurts _less_.

It tastes YUCKY, but I've found liquid Robitussun to be the ultimate stop-coughing evil chemical. Slightly less evil and also sleep-inducing is Night Time Triaminic, which is a cold med for kids. You have to take like 4 teaspoons, but it doesn't taste bad, and it's got a little dose of an antihistamine in it, which, in addition to taking care of any allergies that might be stuffing you up, will make you sleeeeepy!

robitussun: will likely try that tonight. Wasn't thinking clearly enough last night to consider it. Instead, I took a cough drop, which took two hours to melt (apparently when tired enough, I will suck on things which are supposed to be sucked on, and not chew them). That, or I was hallucinating the time; I sometimes do that, too.

Sleep-inducing: most things I've tried (other than melatonin) for inducing sleep don't work on me.

Still might investigate Triaminic, though.

If Benadryl makes you sleepy, it'll work. If it doesn't, it won't :) Either way, it's a reasonably effective cold/cough drug and it tastes way better than evil-yucky-bad robitussun.
