Sudafed
This cold is kicking my ass! Its been 3 or 4 days now. I called my Dr yesterday and she said I can take ONE Sudafed, not to exceed 4 in 24 hrs. And, Im told, use it sparingly. Does it get anymore sparingly than that? Normal dose is 2 every 4-6 hrs. Dont get me wrong, I will do whatever is best for the baby. If thats all I can take, so be it. So I go to Rite Aid to get my Sudafed, and apparently now just to buy Sudafed these days, its kept behind the pharmacy counter so you have to ask for it. So Im waiting in line at the pharmacy, my eyes watering, make up smeared all over my face, blowing my nose and sneezing I get my turn and the lady says "Can I help you?" and I reply "I just need some Sudafed". So shes now giving me the once over to see if I look like a drug dealer, and sends me to the pick up line. Apparently I passed. As if this process isnt ridiculous enough I had to show my licence where my address, and licence number and name were copied on a paper and I had to print and sign in order to get it! Geesh! I have now taken my one Sudafed, once yesterday and once this morning, and as I suspected, its not doing a damn thing. Id rather eat a sweet tart, it would probably be as effective and it would probably taste better going down! As if I wasnt tired enough, now I have absolutely zero energy and its making me pretty crabby. Grrrrrr.

Ya, this whole process is stupid. I realized a few months ago that you had to do this new "procedure" because apparently you can manufacture some kind of new drug with this stuff. Nice huh? It's not only Sudafed...it's whatever the ingredient is, in it. I had the same problem trying to buy Mucinex, the decongestant kind...ugh. Robitussin works good and certain kinds you can take while pregnant...see if your dr lets you take that! Feel better soon!! And I wouldn't go running any drug labs at your house, with WPD in your driveway staking out the neighbor!!
Yeah, Sudafed is useless. I actually can't believe they still sell it because it does nothing- who buys it except desperate pregnant women? I remember being told I could take it when I was pregnant with Paige. But since it did nothing with the other two pregnancies I just decided to suffer. It was cheaper and got me the same result.
