Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm not feeling too sexy today.

This danged flu is a bad one.

I was up about every hour 

during the night

trying to clear my head and chest.

Fitful sleep.

Hot then cold then hot then cold.

This sucks!

Luckily, I brought back some Fluimucil 

and Fluimucil Complex from Spain.

These are the BEST flu meds I've ever found and I'm not sure why they don't sell this in the USA.

There are various types of Fluimucil 

so you have to be careful which you buy.

The two that work best for me 

are the Fluimucil Complex 

which has 500 mg paracetamol for pain and fever 

and 200 mg Acetylcisteine (to clear out the lungs).  

It also clears my head.

The other one I like is the Fluimucil 200 below. 

These are little packets of granules 

of Acetylcisteine which you 

put in a little bit of water then drink down. 

I take these after the headcold bit is gone 

and my lungs need clearing. 

This breaks up the mucous so you can cough it up.  

I can't tell you how many of my Caminos 

have been saved by these two medicines. 

With maybe only one day of rest, 

I've been able to walk when I take them. 

So I always bring lots of it home to the USA.

I grabbed a few packets of each 

on my way up to Portland, 

but left a lot down in the desert.

Joe mailed them up to me and

they should arrive today, thank God. 

I just took my last packet of the Fluimucil 200 mg.

Well, that's enough whining. 

Just one more doctor's appointment 

on the 21st to get DNA testing,

then I'm flying down to Palm Springs 

to pick up my backpack and Joe 

for our March/April Camino.

I'm really looking forward 

to being over this danged flu

and back on the trail.

Buen Camino!
