Default Re: Tis The Season ~ Complain About Your Cold Here

I was in so much pain yesterday from sinuses I kept crying. It was horrible. I waterboarded myself and that helped some, but the pussy ass decongestants weren't cutting it. This morning for work I brought out the big guns...pseudoephedrine. Which I hate. It makes me feel all amped and frazzled yet really stupid. But, I was desperate. So I am stupid an antsy today, but not in pain.

You should have bamped this yesterday. I would have had complaints then. Today I am improving a bit. I've found that theraflu is much more effective than Dayquil even though they have the same active ingredients. But it does make my brain little disfunctional.

As I understand it, pseudoephedrine is just a nasal decongestant. For sinus congestion (swelling) I take ibuprofen for its anti-inflamatory properties.

Ibuprofen is a wonder drug and I had taken it already, with some wimpy decongestant, but the pain seemed to be from snot I couldn't shake loose. The salt water irrigation helped some too. Maybe I didn't need the psuedoephedrine, but I was scared of it coming back in the middle of the work day.

I am still feeling much better, so nothing so far today.

I have to take pseudoephedrine most mornings but I try not to take it more than that. Years ago, before it became restricted for purchase, I tried the 24 hour version. I took it for a few days and thought I was about to have a nervous breakdown. The regular dosage isn't that bad, but taking it a lot starts to get it to me, plus its action in drying out the nasal passages has led to them becoming irritated and even painful.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggghhhh....

I have been told recently that vicks vaporub actually makes a cold worse. You make MORE mucus, if you can believe. Yet it is the only thing that makes me feel like I can breathe just a little tiny bit.

Vicks ... bad. Cold .... bad. Mind tricks ... goood.

bey and I both feel like crap. We're wallowing in our snuggies and pounding water and Tylenol and what not.

Happy New Year! :partying:

I've had a cold over the new year - the sort with the incessant crazy repetitive dreams and brain too slow and achy to do any coding - but I'm feeling a bit better today.

On Sunday, I cleaned about a metric tonne of dog hair and dander and dust and literally sand from under our bed. Ever since, I have been dealing with this logey sinus and throat thingie that has me all like :gah: and I don't know if I destroyed myself by cleaning or if it's just the timing. Tis the season, after all.

Ya, dust masks are a thing for when we tackle those places that we really should do more often.

It's not covid. :brooding:

I took a covid test last Tuesday and got a negative result on Thursday.

We traveled to Monterey and socialized with family on Thursday and Friday.

Sunday night I got hit square in the face by the sinus-fuck truck. Two solid days of laying in the bed chugging nyquil and moaning like a bitch.

Feeling not 100% today, but soooo much better. The whole elephant stomping on your toe deal.

Nobody else I socialized with got sick, so who the fuck knows.

Going by my own experience, allergies + dust/dander/cleaning shit + abrupt changes in weather (like going to Monterey & back) could lay me out like that. Normally I can tell them apart by the difference in itch and pain, but when it's smacked me that hard, the allergic reaction felt no different from a sinus infection. fwiw. :sick:

I may or may not have a cold, but I'm definitely complaining about it.

So far I'm only dealing with self-inflicted allergies. (Smoking outside will stuff me up every time.)

I think rigorist and I had the flu the past couple of days. Fever, achiness, major fatigue. Should have gotten that flu shot.

We have a pile of COVID tests - I don't really know how we ended up with so many - so we both stuck swabs up our noses, and tested negative.

I should probably get the flu shot and the bivalent booster. I had planned to do both sooner but got derailed by Covid.

The Mrs and I are finally getting clean from Strep infection and some other nasty sinus infection that first hit just before Turkey Day. We think it was that RSV crap that's seems to have taken up an adult version around Colorado.

I can finally breathe, again.

Surprise! I'm sick some more. My throat is especially sore, I'm thinking from breathing all kinds of micro-debris while cleaning. Probably should have work a mask.
