Sandy, the last time I took zinc (I think it was in Cold-Eze) it did shorten the duration but boogered up my sense of taste and smell--gone entirely for several weeks. Looking online, I found some (probably)anecdotal evidence of folks for whom the loss of smell lasted much longer or was permanent. Yikes! So I now avoid zinc.

No fun. Did you get it from Josie?
Maybe.
So sorry! I think I should have bought stock in Kleenix (Kimberly Clark?) since I keep them in business!
Oh dear, poor you. For a common virus, colds can make you feel surprisingly miserable. Hope you soon feel much better.
Few things are more miserable than the common head cold. I hope you have some zinc to take. It really can shorten the duration. Take care of yourself.
