Lisa - you keep mentioning Lac C. If you think it is right for these acute symptoms then take it!! It is a BIG acute throat remedy.

WAAAAA - Ricky, I don't have it!!! It's on order...or I think I would have taken it by now.

I ended up taking NM200 last night...throat is better this morning...it's always the afternoons that I'm worse, so I'll see by this afternoon if it really is better...but last night when I took it (quite late), it did seem to make the pains in the throat less.

Also, since taking NM30 - my stool is normal and flatus is gone..so.....I figured it couldn't be far off...

Thanks so much for trying to help me out, Ricky..this certainly has been a run of illness in our house...tooo long for my liking!

Hi all....it is now 3:37pm and I have felt not so great for a couple of hours. Not too bad - I don't want to overstate it, cuz I've been flat-out much worse with tonsilitis or strep (whatever this is!!) in the past.
Throat is very sore today..worse afternoon.
Slept with a/c off last night, couldn't bear it one more night really. Probably helped a little - I don't know.

Coughing today - a little more...as the mucous is stuck in the back of my throat...makes it hurt - but also coughing, hawking, swallowing, and clearing do NOT move the mucous at all. Pain on coughing still - not terrible - just is there still...along w/ pains extending to ears on swallowing, etc.

I started cooking around 12:30noon time today..lunch - but also some Xmas pies (to freeze..half-baked) - and when I was cooking - I was SWEATING like a worker-peasant in the field! Sweat was POURING off me - just dripping everywhere. Okay, the kitchen was hot from the hot oven, but I opened to door for fresh air...and that helped a bit, but still sweated on and on.

I seemed to be relieved from the sweating - not the throat so much...just overall. But, still tapped out...

Overall, not much better yet - but I take it the sweating for a couple of hours was a good thing? And mood is good..just physically not well. Drained a little mentally..tired.

Anyhow, I'll report later this evening - in case something jumps out at anyone. I'm not on my death bed - but really do feel unwell and seem not to have any stamina...and this is a busy time of year...feel I'm not able to carry my load just now ...

Hi,
I took Nat-m 200x on 11 Dec (late at night) as the symptoms were sooo painful and I did't seem to be improving - although I wasn't really getting worse - Just the pain in my throat was soo bad and I had a hard time with the viscous mucous combined with the pain.

The continuous efforts to clear/cough up / hawk the mucous just wracked the pain in my throat.

The night before last I woke up in the middle of the night and had to turn on a/c was too hot...but coughed in the night...then slept okay. Yesterday morning, I woke up and the pains were quite bad. Same pattern - although slightly less.

Last night, I woke up out of a deep sleep and coughed for a bit...then was okay and slept. Today, the same - but symptoms are changing a little.
No stool today. No urge...no symptoms (like being uncomfortable bloated or gaseous) just no need to go.
Throat was very painful when I woke up - until I took hot shower...and then drank hot cup of tea.

As the day wore on - it worsened slightly in the afternoon.

Went to school play..room was crowded and became hot/stuffy (hate hate hate stuffy rooms!!!!). Began to feel an IRRITATING tickle in the right side of my voice/box area down in the throat. Coughed and coughed (tried NOT to as the play was GOING! )...felt so embarrassed..but to leave would've caused too much disruption since we were all packed in this place! This went on for about 7 minutes (seemed like an eternity).
I could NOT stop the coughing..the tickle was soooo strong and irritating. Right eye was streaaaaaaaaming tears from the coughing. although the coughing didn't feel terribly forceful!

Tickle keeps happening every now and then since this episode at the play.

Feel tired..mentally active. Cooked dinner..so a little more energy today...but was very tired after cooking and HAD to sit down and take a wee rest.

Ate well - felt hungry (cooked a southern meal tonight, aftering talking about oil on that thread to RF pork chops, with green beans/potatoes, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls...mmmmmm).

Then tended to children and posted here...now throat is not as bad as last night - or other nights..so there is improvement, because by this time of night it is usually so painful.

Dont'feel as much mucous in the back as before - although there is still some there..just either not as much or looser..can't tell which.

I noticed earlier this eveing (after supper) when I was posting about the kids here...I kept coughing a bit - and also was clearing the mucous which was FINALLY moving (had to spit it out)...clear still.

That is my update...so even though I feel a bit more energy in mentals..I'm physically still exhausted and throat is improved slightly.

I guess the NM 200 was a good choice.
Thanks all.
Lisa

Throat is much improved upon waking this morning!

I will see if it worsens at all as the day goes on ...as afternoons are the time for me to see if there really is an improvement that holds.

Ears still stuffy/clogged...pain on swallowing still - slightly less than before.

Mucous is flowing more now...still a bit in throat that sticks there but at least it moves SOME when I clear/hawk (lovely hey!) or cough. Nothing much coming from lungs..just a little.

Mucous went from clear to white - nose/throat/lungs.
