The Sewing Mom

I’m on day 8 of my sinus infection treatment, a prescribed antibiotic, among other things. I’m not feeling any better today than I did 8 days ago when I went in to see the doctor. I had hope yesterday, after spending most of the day doing yard work, in the heat, I actually didn’t feel too bad. My head still hurt, but it was much more mild than it had been, bearable. This morning it was back to pain as usual. I’m becoming very frustrated.

Anyone who has ever had any kind of headache knows that when your head hurts, especially if it REALLY hurts, it’s difficult to get anything else done. I’ve been feeling so bad for so long now, if I didn’t keep doing things around the house, there’d be no clean clothes to wear, no clean dishes to eat off of and no food in the house to eat. Needless to say, I’m still doing my work around here. There are times though that I just have to sit back and close my eyes. This afternoon was one of those times.

I drove my daughter to her guitar lesson and by the time we got there I could barely keep my eyes open. It’s almost like I was sleep deprived. I told my daughter to go on in to her lesson and I sat in the car waiting for her. I had 30 minutes to sit back in the car with my eyes closed. By the time she came back out to the car, my eyes felt much better, even if my head was still hurting.

I plan on talking to the doctor next time I go in about different treatment options. The anti-biotic doesn’t seem to have had any affect. I’m still taking over-the-counter allergy medication and it helps keep my nose from running and eyes from watering so I can at least see to cut fabric. I’m also taking over the counter pain reliever for my headache, but I’m not sure how much good that’s doing either. I’m not a big fan of taking medications, but I’ve been doing my best to follow the doctors orders. I think I’m ready to hear what my options are since the current treatment plan isn’t working.

As for my lack of energy, that may be contributing to my headaches. I’m considering sublingual B-12 which is supposed to promote energy and stamina. The B vitamins help your body fight off illnesses and I could sure use help. If you’re thinking the same thing, Click here to get your own box of Trivita Sublingual B 12. which is safer and more affordable than a B-12 shot, not to mention painless.

Anyway, whatever I do, I just want my head to stop hurting, I’ve got sewing to do!
