I’m just curious what works for others when he/she has a cold. Some people swear by what works for them. It doesn’t matter if it’s alternative medicine, homemade/ family remedy; it can be anything that has helped you. Would anyone like to share what has helped them?

Does the effect of sleeping pills lessen over time? What are some natural alternatives?

It takes me about three hours to fall asleep, and I wake up spontaneously during the night. So I took half of a Unisom sleeping pill last night at about midnight, and I slept hard for twelve hours, right through my alarm. I still feel sleepy, like I could sleep for a whole day. That was the first time I’d ever used sleeping medication, so I’m wondering if this extreme effect will lessen if I continue to use it.
Also, I’d like to know if there’s a natural, healthy alternative to sleeping pills that won’t “knock me out” like this.
Thanks everyone!

I felt sick to my stomach Friday afternoon. I thought I hadn’t gotten enough sleep and had gotten to hot. Well my stomach got really bloated and the next day I had diarrhea everytime I turned around. I am having bad abdominal cramping around my belly button. I have IBS and it hurts me to take stuff like imodium so i am looking for some other alternatives without having to go to the doctor. There is a stomach bug going around so i don’t htink this is something serious. I just want to feel better.
