Neti Pot Is My New Best Friend

After over a week of feeling like crap everyday, having high blood sugars, not being able to hear, coughing, being stuffy, and just plain ole miserable, I am happy to say that I am back.  I am disappointed in the route that had to be taken to get here, but whatever, it’s in the past and there is nothing to do about it now.  Let’s dive into this adventure.

I told you that last week I went to the clinic because of the clogged ear and cough and throat, etc.  Well basically after paying out of pocket for the visit ($130), 2 packages of Mucinex D ($50) and loss of sleep from coughing all night long I still wasn’t fixed yet.  So I decided to spend $14.99 and purchase a Neti Pot.  After about 2 seconds of using it, my left ear was unclogged.  After using it a second time, the right ear was unclogged.  So, spending $180 on doctor and medicine didn’t do anything, but if I would have just purchased the $15 item from the beginning then everything would have been ok.

My right ear is still a little clogged up, but it is getting better everytime that I use the Neti Pot, so it should be ok.  I don’t really like to say that I wasted the money on the doctor’s visit, even though that is how I feel.  Reason I don’t like to say that is because I wasn’t really sure what was wrong with me or what was going on.  I wanted to take every precaution because there is way too many weird things that go on out there and people have no idea what is going on and think it is just something small.  I ignored a sickness for 3 months 6 years ago when I went into the emergency room with an 858 blood sugar, I don’t want to ever live through something like that again.
