Heather Echola @DaddyEvil I have zyrtec, flonase, guafenisen, and benzontonate for the cough at night. I have a decongestant as well, like sudafed. I am taking Lysine to boost my immunity, Mine must have been more than an allergy because I ran what is for me a high fever.

I May Faint

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52391) • United States 12 May

I just tried my internet and it seems to be working. It’s a bit sluggish, but it has been in the past too sometimes. Hopefully it stays on. It has been off for over three weeks. We were losing hope. I am grateful.
