Do you have anything hot to drink like hot tea with lemon or hot cocoa? I don't know what your allergy situation is like but we had cats and a big dog in the house and as long as we kept up with vaccuuming and dusting the dander did not irritate as much. Do hope you feel better fast, I know how miserable sinus infections are and they sap your strength.

I had a cold last year that was killing me I am BP and Diabetic so I could only take Tylenol, cough drops, eye drops and nose spray with seline solution. It was terrible I suffered so much I wanted to take Nyquil.

Sinus is the worst...I'm so sorry yo feel bad...like everyone says ,hot drinks and hot compresses to your face.
Hope you feel better soon sweetie!!

I do have some hot tea and I also have some hot cocoa. I think I might drink a cup of the cocoa. I have the nes quick just add water already has milk added, but I hate hot cocoa with water, I always like it with milk. I know adding milk would make my infection more irritated, but I can't help it. I like my hot cocoa extra creamy. I think I will try that. Thanks for the great advice. I also need to do some vaccuming today. Since I been sick for 3 weeks, my cleaning skills have been sub par. I wish it weren't true, but it is. As soon as I get my energy back, I will be cleaning a little bit better. Anyhow, thanks for the advice. I think I am going to take some extra vitamins today.

Princess: Whenever I get the sneezes, watery eyes, etc., I just o.d. on green tea and honey. Then, I o.d. on allergy meds and cold remedies. Then, I crawl into bed and wrap myself up in all the blankets and sweat it out! I usually wake up drenched in sweat, but, my sniffles have passed!
It's that... or, shoot yourself in the foot! You won't notice the infection as much. (grin)

Artemis: I WILL not Take ANY Crap Today. If you can't say anything nice to me, SHUT THE HELL UP!

I am not in the mood. I just sent doug a message about what you posted. I AM suicidal, and if you don't leave my post, I WILL report you again.

Hang in there sweetheart. This too shall pass. Ignore the village idiot and take care of yourself.

Just remember that we are here and as for ill wills and wishes of others there is an old saying

Do unto others as you will have done unto you and a great wiccan saying goes what you send out comes back three fold be it good or bad.

I love dayQuil when I am ill goves me lots of pep that and a vivrin aka caffine pill. Though technically that is an O.D. so I am not saying you should do that. Tea and dayQuil should be ok though!!!

Health Hugs Peace Love Light to you

I can't have dayquil it makes me sleepy and my meds that I take already make me drowsy enough. I really wish sometimes that I could just turn my television screen off, sometimes I wish my cousin would have just let me die when I wanted to. Now, I have a family to take care of, and feel like shit. My daughter's home sick with a double ear infection, and I can hardly manage to keep the strength up. I can't give her any motrin cold or anything because now she's on medication. She's on zythromax. So, imagine my day. I am sick, yet I have a sick child at home, who will be returning to school tomorrow, because she is not feverish. Thank heavens for school tomorrow.
Thanks for those who have wished me well, and those who don't care, will eventually end up going to hell.

Always
Princess

Gosh I feel for you. I suffer from Chronic Sinitus that is now non responsive to antibiotics and the only solution is surgery. I take antibiotics they work for only a short time and have to do it all over again. I know how awful it is. The thing is they will take about 2-3 days to really start working and it is hell until then. I noticed you said you can't take any other nasal spray. I don't know if you tried the Afrin. That worked wonders for me. But you can't take it more than a few days because it will actaully make it worse. I also drank alot of fluid, honey lemon and tea. Use vicks on you're body. I sometimes put it on my feet and put socks on over it. Also the vicks plug ins and vapor shower stuff. Also just sit in you're bathroom with the shower on hot and let it steem up like a sauna and breath in the moisture. Also saline, a mix of salt and water snorted up your nostrols helps dry it up. suck on lots of candy,cough drops, honey drops, vitamin C tabs. whatever (: Also you are not suppose to use heat on you're sinuses. Sometimes it feels good but you are actually suppose to use cold packs. I have a sinus pack made out of them little micro beads that you put in the freezer and then use it.. It helps the inflamation. Hope you are feeling better soon. I know how terrible it is..

I just drank an entire 16 oz cup of hot cocoa with marshmellows. I still feel drained. Normally, I have no problems with my cats being in the house, but today, it just gets to me. When my neighbors mow their lawns again next week, I will be in pure agony! I made all three of the cats go out the door today. Normally, I love them to death. I feel so drained, and shitty my cats can't even solace me now =( I've tried thinking about other things, but I can't help how crappy I feel. I just want to go to the ER and tell em I am so sick I feel suicidal, but I am sure that won't do me any good, and I know I shouldn't do that. I should look at it this way. Three more hours, and I am going to try and get some rest. I only have to hold up three more hours because my little ones have already got their homework done.

Thanks. I think I am going to see if I can get that vicks stuff I can use in the shower. I am going to make my hubby look for that. Anything to make me feel better than this. I feel like crap! I will try to drag on for three more hours, but I won't be able to take living today any more than that...

Okay, I know what you mean by the vicks vapor shower stuff. I have a vicks plug in. I think I might have some of that vapor shower stuff. I will use some of that when I lay down tonight.

Thanks
Princess

I have some of that vapo steam stuff. I have the head in the sink now, it was dusty so I put some hot running water on that blue head, and plan to be using it at night. Two more hours to go! Thanks everyone.
