I use to work an hour away from home ( I live in the boonies). I would often leave work late at night. I would down an Emergen-C about 20 minutes before I had to leave...it would wake me up for the drive and allow me to sleep when I got home. I carry it in my purse to cure hunger until I can get home or to a place I want to eat. Hungry for something and don't know what it is try Emergen-C it will fill that hunger.

You aren’t kidding that it’s good to find something that works! One year, I got sick so often that I had “walking pneumonia” for months! Advil is good, though. I just like getting it before it gets started! I hope I haven’t just jinxed everything by mentioning it :twisted:

I’m hoping that it is what is working for me…and I’m hoping that blabbing about it doesn’t make me come down with pneumonia tomorrow! Bwahaha! That’s about the way it works for me. Man, if your momma sent it all the way to Taiwan, she MUST believe in it.
