The lighter side of sinus
I have been a victim of Chronic Sinusitis ever since I can remember. I react badly to environmental changes, especially quick, extreme changes in the weather. In the last two weeks, the temperature has oscillated from "warm summer" to "pleasantly chilly autumn" to "cold wet autumnal showers". While we are still a few weeks away from the bone-chilling winter, the Southerlies blowing in from Antarctica have already hijacked our island. Internally, my sinuses have kept themselves busy with inflammations, congestions and day-long migraines. :(
This morning, googling for symptom relievers other than chicken soup, I came across this paragraph on wikipedia. To quote:
"...Furthermore, there have been studies conducted in Europe and Asia that have concluded sexual stimulation for a ten to fifteen minute session results in a reaction from the white blood cells which makes them 50% more active and better able to counterattack the bacteria causing the infection and the symptoms associated with it. However, be advised that engaging in very vigorous sexual activity for a more prolonged period may have adverse effects."
I'm still laughing! :)
