Speaking of the Amantadine, here it is Christmas day and I have the only
cold I have had since before I started on that drug. I stopped taking it
about 2 months ago. I have to wonder if that drug helped in preventing colds
as well as flu. This cold is a bad one. It settled in my chest and my
sinuses at the same time. I have almost no voice left, but most importantly,
I haven't lost my appetite!
Wishing all of you a good Christmas day!,
Don from Maryland
