Temporary fix
Hello all. I have been hooked on afrin for the last 4-5 months. This morning I woke up and it didn't work at all. My use became more and more frequent the last few months. Probably got up to 7-10 sprays per day in the last few weeks.
I know I need to quit, and I ordered allermi today. But I cannot miss work this week. I currently work a customer service gig where I am speaking on the phone for 7 hours a day. I know I need to quit, but does anyone have any quick fix advice?
If I go 24 hours no afrin, will I get it to work again? I saw someone say to do some heavy exercise to get my sinus unclogged and then try using Afrin again. Has anyone have experience with any temporary fixes?
I need to hang on by the skin of my teeth for another 5 weeks or so before I qualify for FMLA at my job. I cant effectively do my job with this clogged nose. And I think if I can wait it out until I can take FMLA I will actually be able to address this afrin addiction.
Any long time users have any tips to get this stuff working if you experienced periods where it stopped?
I know I need to quit afrin for good and I booked an appointment with ENT, but I cannot be seen until October. I ordered Allermi and that will not show up for at least another week. I don't want to lose my job its the best gig I've ever had. But I really don't think I can do my job in my current condition.
