Sinus infections

Anyone ever had one of these beauts? I'm just getting over what I believe is my first one. First three days it was like the worst head cold of my life, but then it wasn't going away. My teeth would hurt. My left eyeball would hurt (not the eye itself, but everything around it). So then I'm thinking I've got the damn flu. Not a good thing when your health insurance has run out.

For seven days, my ears wouldn't pop. It was like I was on an airplane that whole time. Then for three more they would pop in and out. They're finally popped most of the time right now.

Then one of my facebook friends is a lower respiratory specialist and he tells me I've got a sinus infection. Just blew my nose...out of the right side, clear stuff comes out. Out of the left, where my eye hurts, dark yellow.

Weird stuff, man.

Everyone I know has had that same thing in the last month or so. Been brutal...takes about 2 weeks to clear up. I am still not at 100% yet. Try all the over the counter stuff you want, it really don't work IMO. I started with Mucinex and went on to trying almost everything else also. If it is a true sinus infection (which is what it sounds like), you need an antiboitic. If you have a cold, then it just needs to run its course.

A lot of docs won't give anti-biotics for sinus infections now... trust me, I've tried. Every time they give me one it clears it right up though... :rolleyes:

Used to get them yearly around Nov.-Dec. due to allergies before I started taking daily meds for them. Of course, I then stopped taking them this winter and got a nice sinus infection that just started clearing up the last few days.

Best advice? Take a drill, some whiskey, and go to town.

It's not like they're full, though. I might as well ride it out at this point. Only remnants of it are the soreness around my eye and my right ear keeps popping in and out.

Weirdest cold I've ever had if it was just a cold.

On second thought....when I worked for NASCAR we all went to Japan for a week, and we all came back with this crap that lasted two weeks. Maybe this is some Asian gunk going around?

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
