Anybody Else Scared of DayFlu?
I’m going to unleash a big announcement pretty soon, but before I do that I wanted to kind of build an open forum over something important to me. Right now I’m stationed in Arlington,VA for business and after some long hours and intense learning sessions I caught what appears to be a cold.
Now there are tons of way different people handle this situation. Most of them go immediately to the doctor because we’re a culture raised on fear and doubt and what could be a cough could be perceived as cancer and if that happens you’ll shell out more money to hear you’re okay (but that’s a story for another day).
Most rational people go to the pharmacy and find something to help them out in the immediate. I’m not rational. The pharmacy scares me to death. Here’s why.
I had a heart surgery back in 2012 and before that I was more or less a really bad working time bomb. I knew that I had limitations on what I could take and do, but I really didn’t know what they were. Everytime I asked Doctors the answers would change. One person told me rollercoasters would kill me and another didn’t. I went on a rollercoaster and I’m still here. Mission accomplished.
So when I get a cold and spend the 10 minutes talking to myself convincing myself it’s a cold I stand in the aisle of a pharmacy looking at DayFlu, Mucinex, and all the other nasty drugs that taste the same to get me better. Before I can even consider purchasing one of them I imagine myself overdosing on it. I know how morbid that sounds, but I don’t mean intentionally. I mean I accidentally take one too many for some reason and because of my previous condition something clicks and I just start losing it.
Does anybody else get this way or is this fun just reserved for people like me? I ended up buying DayFlu and I can tell you I’ve just got enough of it in my bloodstream to run at 43%. I’m grateful for it, but at the same time knowing it’s working makes me want more of it, and that’s what freaks me out.
What about you guys? Anybody sort of similar?
