Im doing ok I guess.
I have the driest itchiest sinuses in the world I think, even with using the saline spray and the nasal decongestant the doctor gave me. I was doing really good for the past couple days and then last night I........(GOD FORBID).....sneezed and my headache came back followed by the nausea and the fatigue. I even sneezed with my mouth open to lessen the pressure and it still gave me a headache. I guess that sneeze was a long time coming considering I was holding them back for a couple days.
The more days I get past surgery, the more I need to sneeze!!!!! How are you supposed to hold them back? Its like when a scab starts to heal and it itches really bad. No drainage though except for the little bit of blood when I first wake up, which I found out from my doc the other day was completely normal.

I did talked to my doctor and she said that I can sneeze as long as im careful. If I have to sneeze then sneeze because if I hold I back like I did then I will get a violent sneeze like I did before and get a headache.
As for the sleeping. I have been sleeping really good since I had the surgery, but I am constantly tired all the time. I take a shower and feel like I need a nap.
I have always used two pillows so that doest bother me so much, but when I got out of surgery, I had to use like three.
I think that everyone experience with these tumors and surgeries is completely unique and I think that all of us who have had the surgery have to wait and see until our bodies hormones even out to see exactly how we feel.
