also me, whenever I get a sinus infection:

Too Much Tea

[ooc-miqojak]

Sinus infection hell. I feel tired and disgusting all the time, on top of having many inches of snow (and weather in the negative degrees F) that prevents me from ever wanting to leave the house.

Protips for anyone else with one -

A. Humidifiers!! It's winter in the US, and that means dry air, which will nuke your sinuses. (I was prone to them while living in L.A. as well - it's always dry there, and the smog is terrible. Use humidifiers always if you live in a dry place!)

B. Flonase. Flonase is your one true savior (I'm not kidding, it's very much like a magic bullet every time I get one of these...my sincere thanks to the doctor who first prescribed it to me years ago for this reason) - but you can pair it with...

C. Zyrtec! Flonase helps a lot with the swelling and drainage, and if it's allergies, pairing it with Zyrtec helps kick the allergies in the teeth.

D. Drink lots of water! Lots of things suggest vitamin C as well, but citrus interacts with/neutralizes ADHD medication, so I can't have my favorite source of it...OJ. Imbibe your Vitamin C in the form you wish.

E. I refuse to do this one, because I refuse to waterboard myself: Neti-Pot. But be sure to use distilled water! I worked in a pharmacy in my 20s and heard horror stories (to include death) that came of improperly used Neti-pots. Pour that stuff in your face holes if you're up to it (I'm sure as hell not) to flush out the sinus holes in your face bones that are nasty and making you feel bad.

D. Sudafed - my go-to decongestant anytime I'm ill and stuffy! No decongestant will ever clear you up like this one. Be aware that it is in the same family as adderall, so depending on your dose it may not be advisable to take this (my dose is low enough that I'm safe). If you have heart problems... again, this is in that same family of drugs and may not be safe for you, so check with your pharmacist (they know more about drug interactions/effects than the average doctor... its their job to, after all!).

E. Rest. Nap all you want, cuddle your favorite pet or person or stuffed animal or whatever... but if you're tired? Answer the call. Your immune system is hard at work, so take the pressure off of everything else and rest up, let your body do its thing with the help of those meds. Maybe watch some Osmosis Jones, and celebrate your immune system being so cool.

Lol not me making clove-ginger-cinnamon-tumeric-chili tea at 4:30 am in a desperate attempt to stop myself from getting triple whammy bronchitis-tonsillitis-sinusitis that goes on for 8 entire months AGAIN

[youareyoubutwhoareyou]

The thing u think will never happen to u happened to me

[theconsciouscrow]

"Duality", by Slipknot is about sinusitis.

Update: took a shot of corticosteroids, it's overkill yes, but it's so good NOT to feel pain man

[virtie333]

I just want this documented:

It is currently 5:30am on November 28, 2023, and I DO NOT have any head pain.

[vocalhitches]

saw this post about ge/to today and yeah… this is how i know i’m too far gone lmao

the words “ge/to’s sinuses” nearly sent me into shock

[pileofsith]

For months I've tried to update my page here with news, but I'd stumble and delve too deep into personal info and give up.

Uhhh, anyway: I'm hoping to continue my activity and my beloved comic project really soon, I hope, I hope, I hope!

Because all since summer there has been one medical drama after another. If it wasn't me, it was my nearest and dearest family members, and I'm actually quite anxious and dread-filled at the moment whenever there's a few quiet days in a row.

[lieutenant-sarcastic]

Ah,, it is time,, for the annual Sinus Infection of Suffering ,,

[hemaris]

a lot has happened in the few days since i last posted here. had some noodles that were so spicy that it made me believe in the balance if the 4 humors again (cured me of my phlegmatic temperament, i am choleric now). saw an ominous hooded figure outside my window that had disappeared by the time my brain caught up and i did a double take (possible noodle induced hallucination). i know that's only two things & i know i said "a lot" but i don't actually have that much going on rn (because of the phlegmatic temperament thing)
