I have another sinus infection, sometimes I feel like my life has been one prolonged sinus infection for the last 2 years! This time I thought it was something more, something different. Last Monday I woke up for work, fevered, nauseated and searching for anything wet to cool the fire in my throat. I thought I could make it trough work and then hoped upon hope I could just make it there without defiling the inside of my car! I made it 9 hours the first day and 12 hours the next day. I rested my fiery cheek against my cool desk and kept my trash can handy, just in case.
My mom luckily came by with Ibuprofen, what a blessing it is to work at the same place she does! Once my fever broke I felt better. Better, but not good. Relief was only temporary until the heat wave returned and I felt like death warmed over. I was grateful for a sergeant who let me go home early even though I'd made it most of the day and could have sweat out the last few hours. When I passed out on my mom's couch I realized I was better off there.
Well, that was over a week ago.... I'm still sick!! Each morning I've gotten up with a fiery crackly throat and wished I could go back to sleep. I've stayed up tossing and turning because I'm uncomfortable and aching.
I stayed at my mom's house last night planning to go to work today. But today I decided enough is enough, I'm so tired and even more done with being sick! So I stayed home from work and decided the doctor really does know best. Hopefully I'll feel better after a few days of anti-biotics. Wish me luck.

Good luck! I hope you feel better soon!
Yes, there are times I think herbs can work but those antibiotics are truly wonderful! I understand the sinus thing!! They want me to have surgery, "when it's convenient." Seriously?! And when will that time be?
Get better and rest!!
I'm sorry you're not feeling well again. Good luck with the doctors!!
