sinus infection fuck my life.

Oh, that is NO fun.

Apply liberal amounts of heat. Direct sunlight is great.
As disgusting as it is, nasal irrigation helps. And decongestants, obviously.

There is a good thing about acute sinus infection. If the whole congestion goes down and the gunk flows out quickly, as happened to me once, you'll spend the best fifteen to thirty minutes of your life standing over the sink, every minute feeling a thousand times better than before. The very definition of what "blissful relief" feels like.

Heal up!

Nasal Irrigation is good. Sinus infections suck! They should be banned.

Only happened to me once. It felt like somebody was inflating a life-raft behind my eyeballs. If it never happens again Ill be just fine with that.
Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Feel better.

Yeah, I haven't been able to smell anything for about 3 days now. Which makes eating fun. Been doing the neti every morning and every night. Taking prednisone so feeling betterer.

Any medication with the word pot in it is good medicine.

Not orgasmic at all, are they?

Get well soon!

Nasal irrigation... Oh nevermind.

+1 for the sinus drilling.
Had both sides done at once and then the right done a second
time a year later.

The re....ally fun part of the whole procedure is when the doc
pulls, what seems to be, about a 100 meters of cotton swab from your nose. MY Favorite!

Oh yeah, and tonsils after 30, wholly fuck the ultimate sore throat

but then life if good

Heh, wait'll we start doing mandatory nasal irrigation at the Rag...

I hear it helps with acclimating to the altitude -- or maybe it's just so awful that you forget you feel bad because of the lack of oxygen.

(All kidding aside, the nasal irrigation is good stuff. Total miracle worker for me and my decades of sinus issues.)
