This is probably literally the last place on the entire internet where I should be seeking medical advice. I know that. BUT aaaaanywho, has anyone here had to figure this shit out recently? Like, this winter? If you have spent time thinking about it recently maybe you have something constructive to say. Don't worry, I will try to double check anything you say, but if anybody has recent personal experience dealing with these things, here is your big chance to share any wisdom you may have... developed? Arrived at? Won? You know what I mean.

So, that preamble was longer than my question itself will be. Anyway, I have a fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, and minor aches and pains. Not REALLY bad aches and pains like when you get the flu, but definitely some malaise. So, I went to CVS and got their CVS version of Tylenol with acetaminophen, a decongestant with phenylephrine hydrochloride, some menthol cough drops, and their CVS version of Robitussin DM with dextromorphan HBr and guaifenesin. (Yes, I realize that I probably just set the Trash Epics website all time record for the most spelling errors in one paragraph, despite really trying to double check every word, but please hold your applause). Right now, at this very moment, I have ALL of those things pumping around in my bloodstream. As I was taking one of the last medications, I sort of scratched my head and thought "Golly gee whillikers, am I killing myself right now by taking all this crap together?" I'm pretty sure I'm not killing myself, but maybe I should spread these things out a little more.

Anybody have any thoughts on any of this? I expect a certain amount of jokes and abuse here, of course, but if anyone really understands these things I'd appreciate your input.
