AWW Janet! I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. My hubby has that same thing right now...I use NyQuil (nightime) and swear by it! It will knock you out but it helps with everything that is going on in your head...What I do for the painful sinuses (I know they say NEVER to do this but, I'm still here!) I use Vicks Vapor Rub... I put some on a q-tip and rub it around the inside of my nose...not just the outside edge... this helps (me) with the sinus pressure. Doctors say it doesn't do anything...Well let me tell you! I rub my neck upper chest (might want to stay away from the boob area!) I have hubby (he hates the smell) rub my upper back and lung area, wrap and pin a dish towel around my neck and cuddle on the couch with a quilt... I hope you are feeling better soon

Sounds like great advice you are getting here. Just wanted to wish you a speedy recovery. We will be thinking about you and hoping you will feel much, much better very soon!!!!!! :heart:

So, how's our little patient today?? Feeling any better??

Went back reading all the other great advice you got - glad to know the steam helped some. As for the hair, just tell everyone you've been talking to the voices in your head and ya'll got in a friendly game of tug-of-war! Or....just simply tell them that's the lastest fashion out of Paris :p

How can anyone stay sick with all the advise, humor and well wishes in this thread? You ladies just make me smile and laugh so much!!!!

I did the steam thing again the pressure is gone. I took the Tylenol Sinus/Allergy Severe (?) meds and they really helped. I felt good enough to give the dogs a bath this morning. I'm gonna stay in the house because all the fields are full of combines. Stirring up the dust and ragweed. I'm a little tired though, because the hubby woke me up snoring at 3 AM. I'm gonna have to bring that ball bat in from the garage sometime today!!! Naw....I'd just have to clean that mess up too!!!! :D

LOL!! Thanks for the reminder! Last September (on my birthday), Sam had an accident here at home removing a tree compliments of Hurricane Rita (massive trauma to the face). In the ER, the nurses kept asking him what happened, what day it was, did he know where he was, etc. (they do this for head injuries to check for possible brain damage). Each time they asked, Sam always answered appropriately. Well, after about the 12th time of being asked what happened, he told the nurse, "I shouldn't have bought Suzi that bat for her birthday!!!"....the nurses (all of who are friends of ours) cracked up laughing and said once they got the bones fixed in his face, he was going to be fine!! And now, one year later and 4 surgeries, unless you look really close, you can't tell! So thank you for the laugh on the bat comment - we weren't laughing then but we do laugh now:)

Glad to read you are feeling better:):) And remember, just because you are feeling better doesn't mean you are completely well! Keep taking your meds, get your rest, and drink plenty of fluids.

Thanks Suzi, I will keep taking the meds for sure. I was feeling so much better yesterday, but woke up this morning at 3 AM again and my nose was all stopped up. Forgot to take the meds before going to sleep, so I'm feeling better now, the meds have opened me up again...yay!!!!. It seems to clog up when I lie down. So, here I am (after watching a couple of episodes of Roseanne) on 4WT all alone.:)

Janet, I hope you get well real soon. Plenty of rest, chicken soup, and hugs from your Son should make you feel much better!!

:getwell: :wavey: :getwell: :wavey: :getwell: :wavey:

I sure am glad it's been raining to settle the dust and ragweed down a little bit. I am feeling so much better, but sure tired of the sinus draining still going on. I've been taking the meds, but I'm about ready to try some of the other things posted. I'm only good at this stuff for a few days...anything over 5 or 6 and I get grouchy and fed up. So little patience....LOL :D
