Captain's Log, Supplemental
Okay, so this might be TMI, but Captain Caffeine snores loud enough to wake the dog.
He finally went to the doctor, who prescribed both an allergy spray and a saline spray for his nose.
Now, I use a homemade saline spray to help me with my sinus allergies. It's just 1/4 teaspoon of salt in 4 ounces of boiling water, cooled and poured into an old contact lens solution bottle so I can squirt it up my nose (maybe that really is TMI).
However, the saline spray prescribed for Captain Caffeine is this tiny packet he dissolves in 8 ounces of water, and he's supposed to discard the excess after using it just once! Talk about a rip off!
He looked online and lots of recipes recommend sea salt or pickling salt, plus baking power or baking soda (I don't remember which).
Do you guys have any recommendations? Why sea salt or pickling salt? Can't he use kosher salt? And why the baking powder/soda? Have you heard any other recipes for this stuff?
On the snoring front, his doctor's trying to get our insurance to approve a night at a sleep lab. He's got sleep apnea and I'm very glad he's finally going to a sleep lab. Hopefully they can find out what can be done to help him get a better night's sleep.

The best thing to do is just make a fresh saline every day and snort it up there.
There's a good book, called Sinus Survival, that talks about some of this stuff. It helped a lot with my sinus issues. I'd send it to you, but I have no idea where it's packed.
How weird that of all the posts to comment on, it'd be this one.
Thanks
