I have a sinus headache that is killing me.

I think it is because of the weather.

It hurts.

Psuedophedrine and acetaminophen.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

already taken advil cold and sinus... pseudonephrin and ibuprophen but same difference.

AJ

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

Yep.

Go down to the Chinese food store and get Pe Min Kan Wan. It will change your life.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

sounds interesting what is it?

(can't leave work but it still sounds interesting)

AJ

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

I'm not sure what's in it, but it's an herbal supplement that works even better when taken with ibuprofen. I think it means Nose-allergy-endurance-pill or something.

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

The ingredients (*snicker*):

Cock Lebur Fruit
Patchouli Plant
Wild Chrysanthemum
Angelica Root
Magnoliae flower
Honey Sucle

(original misspellings)

While you're there, order the spiciest off-menu dish they serve. Your sinus problems will end up in your napkin, and you get a great meal too.

*hugs AJ*

*hands her hot green tea with lemon & honey*
(and maybe a dash of whiskey)

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

Now, how do you order an off-menu dish? Do you just ask for the off-menu special?

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

Thai food is more sinus clearing I think than straight chineese.

I think its the stupid weather. We are having a huge barometric shift today and I've notice that that tends to cause my sinuses to act up.

Sinuses. Bah!

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

My buddy has been wailing about his sinuses all morning.

Eat anything you like, but apply a generous sprinkling of red pepper and stir. [Big Grin]

I've got some leftover hydrocodone you can use. Now that's good stuff.

*hugs*

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

Slam your head into a wall. It should clear your sinuses but if it doesn't you'll be unconscious. You can't lose!

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

Maybe I'll go home and sniff tobasco.

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

You can, but it's not as effective. Splash it on cold pizza - that'll do it.

Or drop some ground red pepper or crushed chili spices in boiling water if you wanna sniff.

-Trevor

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

Or stuff a jalapeño up your nose.

Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :

Sorry sweetie. [Frown]

I like to soak in a hot tub when I have sinus problems.

Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :

I wonder if that's why my eyes and nose have been itching all day long . . .

*wanders off to check barometric pressure gauge*

Posted by Mrs.M (Member # 2943) on :

Huh. Andrew's sinuses have been bad lately, but mine are fine.

Try buying a new pair of shoes. The joyous feelings will boost your immune system and the leather smell will open those sinuses right up.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Now that you're likely home, AJ, try a steamy shower. I also find that a plain saline spray is useful when my sinuses are acting up. Any drugstore should have 'em (make sure there's nothing in it but saline and maybe menthol); or if you have a good squirt bottle, you can boil your own saline.

Posted by Synesthesia (Member # 4774) on :

Is that one of those headaches that start on one side and then move to the next and feel like being trepanned?
Sorry your head hurts.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

The thunderstorm is finally here and it appears my sinus pressure has let up. I am planning on a nice hot shower shortly.

AJ
(The headache was kind of above my nose but right between my eyes, still there a bit but not nearly as bad)

I suspect Banna lives closer to town than I do - the thunderstorm rolled through the center of town and left the outlying areas relatively untouched.

With all this rain, I'm hoping we finally get out of the rain debt...overall drought count...thingy.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

Trevor, you are in Georgia?

I'm in the Chicago area...

AJ

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

Weird - I thought someone said you lived in Georgia. My bad.

We had another round of thunderstorms rolling through. Which is always fun. [Big Grin]
