Grrr...
I want to go work out, but I hurt like hell - particularly in my sinuses. For the last three days my sinuses have hurt like crazy. And I've had a lot of other pain as well - it feels as if all normal pains have been magnified about ten times. My feet and my back are driving me nuts, and normally they're totally fine.
I've been getting very little sleep as a result. Mostly I just toss and turn. On Saturday night around 2:30 I said "the hell with it!" and went downstairs to sleep on the couch. But that didn't help. So at 4:30 I got up and took a maximum dose of Tylenol.
That did help, quite a lot, and I ended up sleeping until 10:30 or later. Since Sunday is my morning to sleep in, that worked out well. But these aches and lack of sleep are making it really hard to function.
The thing is, I don't think it's a cold. It's really painful to swallow, and my sinuses are hurting a lot, but it doesn't feel like a cold - I'm not sneezing or coughing much, for one thing. This may all be connected to some new sinus medications I've been taking. The first one gave me frequent nosebleeds, and the new ones don't seem to be doing much at all. But I've been doing some reading online, and I'm wondering if I should try irrigating my sinuses. I've already done something like that with saline, and it seems to help a little, so maybe it's something to look into.
Anyone else out there had experience with that sort of thing?
