After all the glorious sunshine we’ve had the last couple of weeks of poor weather and so-so weather right now seem to augur the onset of an early – and a cold – winter. I have suffered for many years with a persistent cough and blocked nose during winter, usually lasting well into the following May, but last winter I visited my doctor and this time they prescribed a treatment for the potential cause, which is post-nasal drip. I won’t go into it too much since it’s yucky, but I can say that the nasal spray they gave me seemed to do the trick and I had a winter free of the awful cough that was so energy-sapping. You cannot believe how wonderful it was to be able to go to sleep without coughing all night, or to spend a day without coughing every few seconds. It was like being born again – truly wonderful.
For a couple of months now I haven’t renewed that prescription and I started getting a cough again so I’ve hiked myself off to the doctor for a prescription and now the cough is going again. I guess I shouldn’t stop using the spray when it’s so effective, even if it is the middle of summer. It’s a bit like a supplement I used to take (bit expensive so I can’t really afford it at the moment) and I always felt energetic and wonderful. After a few months you forget what’s making you feel that way and stop taking it. Gradually, the feeling dies away, but not fast enough for you to realise it. It’s the same with vitamin supplements: stop taking them and you won’t feel the difference immediately, but you will eventually.
I once heard the definition of madness as continuing to do the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I guess the converse is equally true: if you want to keep the result keep doing whatever caused it!
