I really, really, really want to sleep.

I am in incredible discomfort and pain. I believe my cold from Friday, 4 days ago, has evolved into sinusitis. A sinus infection. This is the second night in a row where I wake up every 2 hours because of the pain. And it takes about 45 min to fall back asleep. No relief from over-the-counters and it's now a waiting game until my dr appt at 9:15am ( Read more... )

Sorry to hear you're feeling so awful. I *hate* the experience you're describing. BTDT too many times ( ... )

I hope the antibiotic kicks that infection's ass and you're feeling much, much better already.

I thought the spray bottle thing was probably not the problem, but it's always worth mentioning the obvious, I think. (That, or I've been watching too much Bones and have lost my ability to relate emotionally!)

And I've never gotten homeopathic remedies from GNC! (It's in the mall, which I avoid as much as possible.) I usually get my remedies either directly from my homeopath or else from one of the local health food stores. I like Boiron remedies because of their handy little containers. Recently a friend of mine has hooked me up with a variety of combination remedies which work very well for her ... can't think of the brand name but they're in white boxes with stripes of yellow and orange, as I recall. In my experience, the jury's still out on combination remedies.

Anyway, as I said, I hope you're feeling better by now.

I really should learn to proof read my posts more carefully.... Duh...

Hi Dawn,

Thanks. I have one more day left on my antibiotic and it's been helping quite a bit.

The hot compress does sound like it should help, I'll have to try that too.

I'm still limited to how I sleep though. I mostly still sleep on my stomach as I still have residual pain from my last-June injury. And when I'm on my tummy, I tend to skip the pillow. Soon! Soon! I can be a normal sleeper! :)

Thanks for the thoughts and suggestions.

Love, Pomie
