Under the weather beneath a blue sky.

Posted January 2nd, 2009 by Jen in family life, health/cooking/food, holidays

I rang in the New Year with a dreadful sinus infection, the kind that aches and stabs from your temples down into your teeth. I hope it gets better from here.

New Year’s Day was slow and steady, doing nothing much of anything, which is an unnerving feeling when there is so much to be done. Today, I’ll have to call my doctor and get started on some antibiotics. The last sinus infection brought me to a feverish, near collapsing state because I held off on the medicine, but I think I learned my lesson. I’m open to advice on comforting this dull head.

May the New Year find sinus infections far from you, my friends.

    Bum deal, Jen. Have you tried a Nettie Pot/ Saline Rinse? We’ve had great relief and healing with these…but I don’t know about an infection. Get Well!

    Poor thing!! I hope it goes away soon!
    I had a sinus headache, when I was a teen, that hurt so bad I saw double of everything.
    My Mom kept a hot wash cloth on my forehead until it went away. It causes the sinus’ to open up so things can flow.
    Hope you feel better soon!!

    Ouch! Sounds so miserable. I hope you’re feeling a little better now. Warm hugs, e-Mom

    Hope you are feeling better. If it helps I was down all day yesterday with a nasty stomach bug. Now my oldest has it too. So, we can relate! May the Lord touch and heal your body quickly. He can do it!

    Thank you so much, friends. I’m feeling a bit better and the antibiotics have already stopped the horrible pains in my jaws.
