I don't understand sinuses. I really don't. Someone who has taken anatomy please tell me, what on earth are sinuses good for?
I was sick at the beginning of the semester with what my mother calls the "Barking-Seal-Cough." It's the kind of cough that's deep in your chest that keeps you up at night because the mucous in your bronchial tubes is collecting and, I imagine, dripping to the back of your lungs. Gross.
I thought I was good and over my sickness last week, ready to freshen up and get back on the healthy track.
False.
Sunday I found that my sinuses were a little sore and I was having to blow my nose an absurd amount of times. Monday it felt like my Sinuses had been injected with lead . . . or . . . snot, really. Which is nothing like lead. But just as painful I would think.
Today is Tuesday and I'm loosely congested, which means I can still breathe out of my nose, but my head hurts and every time I sniff my nose makes this sort of squeaky moan as my sinuses try to adjust to the pressure.
HeadCold: I hate you.
Oh, and I'm out of Sudafed.
Let's talk about sinuses. I know more about them than I would wish on anyone. IF the pain is persistent and recurring, you might have an infection. And although some people can fight those without antibiotics, some of us can't. I hope you feel well soon. In the meantime, know that I have great empathy and sympathy for your pain.
