Sicky sicky Pt. 2

Woke up this morning (only because of the alarm clock...GRRR) bright and early to head to my doc's appointment at 8:45am. Went in to see if there was anything to help with the intense sinus pressure I've been having due to all the allergy issues of the past few weeks. Pretty much, there's not really much besides the sinus rinses and such that I've already been doing. Up to 4 times a day...ouch. Not that it hurts, it's just such an inconvenience to have to do it. Doc also gave ma two new prescriptions, one for some antibiotics to help clear up the sinuses from allergy problems, and the other a nasal spray that's different from ones I've already tried in the past. $40 for both...ouch!

After re-setting my alarm for 12:30pm in time to get up for work, I went back to bed. Ok, so I'm going to try and explain what this sinus pressure is like. Have you ever had a migraine? The kind that makes your eyes sensitive to light, and makes you feel like an elephant is sitting on your eyeballs trying to pop them out of your head? Ok, so take that pain and times it by about 10...then you'll have what I feel like. And on top of that, I can't stop coughing...stuff in lungs from runny noses is NOT fun. Anyway...I think I am off to bed again. The pressure is coming back, so off to do another sinus rinse with a side of shower, and then hitting the hay.
