I love, love, love Vick's Vapor Rub! I use it all the time for sinuses/headaches/colds/anything, travel with it if I'm staying at a hotel, and sometimes use it just to help me get to sleep (I don't know why a little dab of Vick's under my nose helps me sleep, but it does). FYI Vick's also can be used for sore muscles. Just so you know. I seriously couldn't live without this magical little ointment.
Paul, God bless him, got a cold and was miserable last night so I handed over the Vick's. He put the tiniest little dab under his nose so I told him he needed to use more and he needed to put some on his cheeks over his sinuses. So, he does and then....
"It burns my eyes. I can't open my eyes. It hurts. Why does it hurt so much? My face is one fire. Why would you do this to me? Ow. Ow. Ow. It's burning. Make it stop. Is this what the icy hot felt like? The pain, the pain. My eyes. I can't see. My face is burning. It hurts." On and on and on.
What am I doing during this entire monologue? Laughing hysterically of course! (in reference to the Icy Hot...I asked Paul to put icy hot on my back one day pre-pregnancy and he used what seemed like half a jar...it felt like I was on fire).
So, I ask you...Vick's Vapor Rub~beautiful savior or devil in disguise?
savior for SURE!!! I too love that stuff!
