So Im taking Nyquil and can taste the obvious 15% alcohol. Im getting an immediate relief to this terrible cold I got but it wears off over the next few minutes. Then later the medicine starts kicking in.
If I just took shots of Whiskey or something, will I get this same feeling of immediate relief. I've heard of liquor having medicinal purposes but never any specific treatments. Does it help with runny/stuffy noses, sore throats, and other cold symptoms.
I know I probably didn't word this question correctly but Im typing during a break between naps so don't be critical. Thanks for the help.

No it doesn't. If anything it would only make you "think" you feel better. The menthol in the medicine is most likely what you're feeling right away. Just like when you use vicks rub, you feel almost instant relief. Same principle.
I'm sorry you are in so much pain. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia several years ago, but experienced symtoms for about 14 years. Mine started with a back problem, and like you, took several rounds of oral steriods with temporary relief. My symtoms have changed over the years, however, poor sleep, pain issues, fatigue and weight gain (60 lbs) are the constant ones. Had many tests, none conclusive. Things that have helped me cope are: medications - ambien for sleep; Lexapro - seems to stop some of the pains signals to the brain; Naproxen- for inflammation not related to fibro; muscle relaxers as needed and Vicodin for breakthrough pain I have a small hot tub, try to stretch often and try to excercise very carefully (Yoga DVD for people with chronic pain). I wish you could find some answers - I have a really great GP who understands and really listens to me. I hope this helps you, I know how you feel.
It does not help any of the symptoms you describe. But by inducing alcohol, you just wont care.
what does this have 2 do with men's health? but i'll answer anyway. you shouldn't be mixing meds with alcohol
