I don't know how many of you out there have been hit with the crud yet (not the flu, just a butt ugly cold), but I've had one for 3 days down and according to my HMO, this year's strain(s) seems nastier than usual.
Despite a variety of OTC cold meds, I've got a shnoz that won't stop running and body aches that won't quit. I've been so miserable at bed time that for the last couple of nights I'm getting no more than 4-5 hours of sleep.
Just a friendly reminder that an once of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Best prevention for colds and flu is regular hand washing.

PS - if you have any great home remedies (chicken soup from a Jewish deli), pls pass them on!
