The Headache Medicine That Gives You Headaches

[ozma914]

 Just a few medical thoughts shooting through my mind like a runaway bottle rocket (only the thoughts aren't as exciting). Come to think of it, fireworks were once involved in my medical condition, but never mind.

My annual major sinus infection has arrived, a bit later than usual, possibly as another way to welcome in the New Year. Because I'm

I'm sorry to hear you're sick. I hope you feel better soon.
I live in Western NC and we got 13+ inches of snow. It doesn't seem like it's ever going to melt.

[ozma914]

It will eventually, and probably faster for you than it does for us! But we've had no snow to speak of so far in January--just sleet and ice.

sorry to hear it, hope y ou're feeling better soon

[ozma914]

Yeah, I have to kick one so I can catch the next one a year from now!

[cornerofmadness]

oh geez. I will say I've been lucky. Ever since I had the pneumovax for pneumonia I stopped getting ALL respiratory infections so I guess that was my big infector

It's nice when a way can be found to kick something like that!

I hope you avoid side effects! Have you tried taking probiotics (or live yoghurt) while you take antibiotics. It can help with keeping your gut health good which helps any other symptoms.

Oh, speaking of side effects--I forgot about the insomnia!

But yes, we always have a supply of probiotics on hand. I HATE yogurt.

Oh no to the side effects being headaches. I mean it's one thing if you're not prone to side effect but not so great if the meds are as bad as the sickness :(

2022 does seem to be off to a rocky start so far. I don't have high hopes for the year.

[ozma914]

No, I don't either. At least I have the advantage that I never thought 2022 would be better!

[elizalavelle]

After everyone just kept saying let's get to 2021 with no discussion about how the pandemic wasn't just going to vanish on new years at midnight... yeah, I don't hope for the next year to fix things.

[cbtreks]

Sounds like 2022 is starting off being unkind to everyone. I hope you're feeling better by now.

(BTW, I got a pop-up encouraging me to pin your headache picture to my counted cross stitch board on Pinterest. Apparently 2022 is even affecting technology!)

[ozma914]

Maybe that's the newest medical fad: Treating headaches with cross stitch?
