[IS A LUMP]

This is my gratuitous hau hau hau pity me post.

Which is to say I hate my sinuses I thought I was getting better sob. ;;

Does anyone have suggestions for relieving sinus pressure/pain that don't involve going to the store for drugs. ;;

ETA on a happier note! I went down to my favorite (and very close) Chinese restaurant to get some soup for these cruds. I happened to mention to the lady who runs the register that I was sick, and got all fussed at--she told me to have some tea while I waited.

And when she came out with the soup, she gave me an apple and proceeded to lecture me about how I needed to take it home, wash it, cut it, and eat it, because I "need to eat, or else you get more sick :<"

B-bawwwww I love that place. ;^;

Spicy food, hot tea, ginger, anything with steam (hot baths, hot showers, hot tea, hot soup, etc)... I usually drink gobs of ginger tea with honey and lemon (honey soothes the throat - sore throats are always part of my sinus stuff). I've heard good things about the neti pots, but have always been semi-secretly convinced I'd, like, drown myself. Which wouldn't help.

Anyway, I hope you feel better. The crud is definitely going around - Kendra and I have both been sick all week, and everybody at the office is, too.

Ahahaha, I feel the same way about the neti pots. XD

I'm glad it's not just me...

I'm thinking about popping over to Mandarin Chef to get some soup -- hot and sour and the wonton, because I don't actually have any outright spicy stuff. >_> Mostly I've been doing saltwater gargling and hot water with honey + lemon juice (since I don't have any actual tea right now).

I was feeling better yesterday, but then I think my sinuses decided to go for a knockdown. >___> I hope you feel better too! :x

Probably for the best. Really, it's the HOT part of the tea that'll do you the most good, along with the honey and lemon, so you're in fine shape on that count, imho.

Yeah... I had the same "oops, I thought I was feeling better" kind of thing, but so far I'm managing to struggle through. Hoping I won't have to do a doctor's appt. next week, becauase... bleh.

Feel better! ♥
