I'm sick of being sick (aka "my pity party")...

Well people, I need to vent tonight and since my husband is out of town, I guess the blog will have to suffice. Even though Delos thinks SINUS INFECTIONS ARE FAKE, I have one - a bad one. One that 3 weeks and 10 days of antibiotics didn't touch. According to my Doctor (who called me this afternoon) this is not unusual. Apparently, the sinuses are not well supplied by blood vessels which means that antibiotics, travelling via the blood, are sometimes less effective. What it all boils down to for me is that I have now been sick for 22 days. And I'm sick of it. My head really hurts and I cough until I gag and I haven't had a good night's sleep for WAY too long and my family is tired of me being tired and sick and grouchy. Tomorrow morning after I drop my kids off, I will pick up my next round of antibiotics (and hope that they don't make me as queasy and dizzy as the last ones did) and some cough medicine with codeine and I will hopefully start sleeping again and start feeling better soon.

Ugh. How miserable! Maybe try acupuncture--it can totally help with that. Hope you feel better. (I'm Dave Foley's sister-in-law). :)

I had a sinus infection last year (they are not fake). No fun! I can't imagine having to deal with taking care of kids too! Sorry. Hope you get well soon.

here's a direct quote from delos's email about it: "at least that message proves that sinus infections are super fake! if it was a real bacterial infection, no way no how it takes antibiotics 8 days to have an effect. but I know it makes people feel better when they take meds...."
