Bummed

[Elphaba13]

Nothing has much flavour at the moment. It's been almost a week! I can JUST taste a hint of custard, but hopscotch is just straight sugar, no buttery goodness. Applewood is just wood. Ry4 is manky. Moonpie has no banana.

I'm getting really upset!

I hate my sinuses!

Sorry for the whinge. I'm just sad.

 

[Sellaman]

Wow, your sinuses must be bad if you can't taste your juices properly! Try vaping unflavored juice. That may do something.

 

[Elphaba13]

I think it's an infection. Most of the stuffiness/runniness has gone, but I'm still in a fair bit of pain in the sinus area. I'll get antibiotics tomorrow, I think. I don't have any unflavoured.

 

[Sellaman]

Oh well, the antibiotics may take about a week to work properly. Have a hot shower and breathe in the steam?

Indeed that is a bummer Elpha. Have you tried vaping menthol? It helped for me. Get better right quick.

 

[Elphaba13]

I think I'm going to have to get some menthol. Everyone recommends it for these times. What sort do you suggest?

 

[div]

I got the Menthol Ultra, cuz of course I couldn't decide on what to get, lol. It worked for me getting my tastebuds back like it should. You don't have minty stuff in your stash? Thinking that might help in the meantime.

 

[Elphaba13]

Nope. None. I have some doublemint on the way though. But if it's a sinus infection, maybe nothing would help anyway.

But I'll definitely get some menthol for next time my tastebuds pack it in.

sorry this is happening..been there and done that..uuuggggg for you
This is the reason I keep ejuice I do not like much for times like these when I cannot taste anything but menthol, but menthol taste funky too,,,but at least I could taste it.
Hope the sinisus clear soon!!

 

[mauisun]

menthol stuff is definitely the way to go. you will be able to taste that for sure. sorry about the sinuses

I've come down with a stomach virus (I guess). Little fever, my belly hurts (which means I hurt all over), and just feel like blah in general. Achy.

Sympathy would definitely be in order here. For both of us Elphaba. And I hope you get to feeling real better real fast!

[Amy41996]

Am wishing TT and Elphaba will feel better very soon!!!!!!!!!

 

[vaporgalinfla]

TT - I'm sorry that you don't feel well. Take care of yourself and rest!

Elpha - I get sinus infections too, so I know how you feel. Try drinking a lot of water. That usually helps me.

 

[Elphaba13]

I've had so much water my eyeballs are floating! Lol

TT, you have all my sympathy. Feel better soon! Rest up, watch some old westerns. Yiu know if we could, all your FSUSA chickies would be there feeding you grapes and stroking your poor feverish forehead.

 

[div]

Awww TT, hope you feel better right quick. It's just sucky to be ill.

Elpha hope your sinuses are better today and not acting up so much.

hugs

 

[SecondChance]

T, are ya sure it ain't all that beer you were drinking at your Vet Party... Take care and feel better !

And you as well little Mrs Elpha, get well soon all!

Just an update (because it's all about me!). My moonpie is fine now, and custard is normal, just a little muted. But hopscotch still tastes off, just like sugar, not butterscotch. I know it will be ok soon, and obviously those tastebuds/smells are the slowest to return, or most impacted by my sinuses (even the bottle just smells like sugar to me, like when a huge bottle hasn't been steeped, you know that smell?) but those of you who know me know that as much as I love my other flavours, especially custard, hopscotch is my staple. I miss it!

But I estimate I will be able to enjoy it in it's full glory in 24-48 hours. Meanwhile I've added menthol ultra to my next order (thanks Div).

PS: in case anyone suggests it, the hopscotch IS steeped. It's 2 months old, and until 2 weeks ago was a little piece of buttery paradise. It's not the juice, it's me.

 

[maureengill]

Glad to hear that you're vaping something that tastes good now at least....

 

[TexasT]

And here's MY update ...

I'm feeling a little better this evening. Not a 100% yet ... but a little better. I've got this real fine honey girl that really takes good care of me and makes me better when I get a bellyache.

Thank all of you for the nice wishes for Elphaba and I and I wish I could just wrap my arms around all of you and give you big, old hugs! I just lub ya all!!!
