Bloody sinuses again

[unfeathered]

And here we are again. One good night I get, and one pain-free day. And then I go to bed and an hour later my face is hurting like hell.

Perhaps I need to try and sleep more propped up. But I'm a front-sleeper, so propped up doesn't usually = good sleep. Can't win.

Grrr.

Sorry! I know you're not that into donuts... but maybe a drink will help?

Thanks - looks lovely! What is it?

A frozen watermelon margarita, no idea how it'd taste, but looks pretty!

It does!

Fuck. I wish this would stop hurting. I think I'm going to be phoning in sick tomorrow at this rate just so I can sleep!

I'm so sorry! Wish there was something I could do!

OK... stuff that's worked for me:

pseudoephidrine (decongestant)
hot tea or soup - miso is especially good for this
rinse nose/sinuses out with warm salt water (sounds gross, but once you learn to do it it's very helpful)
long steamy shower or bath

Hope something helps.

Decongestant - check (also painkillers)
Hot stuff - check (I've done the bowl of steam, and I have a cup of hot water here to breathe/hold against my face)
Rinsing out - sounds really scary...
Shower/bath - not really practical at 3.40 in the morning, but yeah it does help.

Thanks. I'm just so pissed off.

::pets:: That sounds like misery. Hope the steam and the meds and etc. kick in soon!

Thanks! I think it is easing up just a little - might attempt to sleep again soon.
