I'm under medication again for my third sinus infection this year. Not in 12 months. Just in '08.

As of today I've been sick 20 days in a row. I can't remember what it feels like not to have a stuffy head.

Have you tried using something for allergies or talking to a doc about allergies? When my son was sick like that, the doctor put him on Claritin daily. I said "But he's got a cold, not allergies" and the doc said that his body was working so hard on fighting off the allergens, it didn't have anything left to fight off colds. Since he's been on the Claritin (over a year now), he's so much better. Just a thought!

I'm on my fourth since April, which is less than I've had in the past because I had my second sinus surgery last summer. I hate the feeling of pain in my teeth and my ears being plugged.

I wish there was a nonprescription decongestant that worked as well as Sudafed, but didn't make me feel so wired that I realize why they use it to make meth if I feel so freaky from taking it.

I took some pretty high dosage hydrocodone Saturday night, and then some Sudafed Sunday and felt bizarre all day. This sinus infection can bite me.

I have an ear infection and it hurts!

I massively overdid my workouts and am now very sore and having a hard time moving. It's my own fault for pushing myself well past my own limits.

My sleeping has really gotten skewed for some reason. I slept for 13 hours yesterday, and now I can't sleep at all. On top of that, I have to be at work a 8am. Maybe that's why I feel like I'm coming down with something.:(

I fell down a wet escalator in Philadelphia yesterday at a subway station (Suburban Station...for you Philly folks.) My hands and butt broke my fall, but the edge of the step tore up my left Achilles tendon and now it's swollen and had 4 4-5 in scrapes on it. I also got some bruises.... :(

omg, that sounds terrible, and yucky.

I re-sprained my ankle again today. It's about the size of a grapefruit yet again.

Not to mention I have a horrible smokers cough going on, and I don't even smoke! Argh. Right before I move back to Indiana too!

So since we spent Friday evening together, eating the same food and breathing the same air, and you get sick Saturday evening, and I didn't, I assume you had food poisoning from your tuna and cheese on a tortilla.

I regret bringing you soup, gatorade, and pepto bismol because I now feel like I want to die. I should have left it outside your door and ran away. No amount of hand sanitizer or hand washing could have prevented the worst stomach bug I've ever had. I've never felt this awful, nor have I ever puked up water and pepto, for almost 12 hours.

Thankfully you're bringing me diet Vernor's.

ETA: High school friend, the suggestion of sugar in water was BAD! When I vomited it was sugar syrup and yellow bile. I'm also mad that I've had sinus & throat surgery so there's so much space puke went up my nose and out my mouth. How can there be anything left in my digestive system, HOW? In other news, quick way to lose a few pounds!

Have you tried Zycam? I love this stuff! It seems to shorten how long I'm sick. Fell better and sorry I missed you in San Marcos. :)

Oh, barf.

Literally.

I'm sorry you're so sick.
