I’m feeling crappy

I’m sick.

I’ll live,

but,

I’m sick,

sinus troubles.

If any of you out there,

have experienced this,

you know,

what I’m talking about.

Pressure,

throbbing,

and,

the feeling that,

something crawled,

up your nose,

and,

well…

died!!!

The smell,

yuck,

putrid,

that was yesterday,

today,

seems better.

I hope so,

yesterday,

I took the day off,

but,

I can’t do that too often.

It’s tough,

having your  own business,

you can’t just call in sick.

I slept a good part of the day,

yesterday,

and in between,

I did some on line research,

on natural anti-virals.

The thing is,

I can’t wait three weeks,

for an appointment,

with my family doctor,

nor,

have I the strenght,

or,

time,

to wait eight hours,

at the walk in clinic,

plus,

anti biotics,

should be reserved,

for extreme situations,

so,

I’m going the natural route,

I’ll let you know:-)

I’ve read a very enjoyable,

romance novel,

that I will be reviewing for,

Kissed by Venus,

if I can find the strenght:-)

Oh,

one fun thing,

yesterday,

I ordered some,

new glasses,

on line,

from a fabulous site,

clearlycontacts.ca,

excellent prices,

excellent service,

I got the same model,

as two years ago,

except,

these are tortoise shell,

instead of the dark green,

that looks practically black.

Never in my life have I,

gotten as many compliments,

about glasses as these,

for most people,

the non-bats out there the cost is under a hundred dollars, for me a little more, but, very cheap.

Glasses used to cost me,

upwards of seven hundred dollars,

these including,

shipping,

insurance,

thin glass,

and four day delivery?

One hundred and fifteen,

and they are a good Canadian company.

I tell you about this,

because,

I think,

the myopic get fleeced,

unbelievable mark up,

and this is a deal,

and,

most importantly,

painless.

Later girls,

BB

  1. Antibiotics aren’t very effective for sinus problems. Try garlic capsules, 3 or4, every 4 hours. Helps me.

  2. BB: I hope you feel better. SO let me share with you some things that have worked for me. Sadly, once you get one sinus infection, you become prone to them :-(.
    And sinus infections are notoriously difficult to treat — antibiotics typically don’t work: there’s no blood supply to the sinuses to carry the medicine to them.

    Anything you can do to boost your immune function can be helpful. Olbus oil….available at health food stores.

    A couple of things to try: boil water, dump in lots of salt, let it boil again then, take it off the stove and put your face over the pot, towel over your head and slowly breathe on the steam. It’ll sting …. do it as often as you can stand to do it. It does help to loosen up stuff and clear things out.

    And….humming helps. The vibrations help to do something, ease the pain. For greater vibration, close your mouth so that your upper teeth are touching your bottom teeth as you hum. Do it as often as you can. Weird but true. :-).
