oh yes, it is good to have a good moan - hope it helps! Poor you, sounds as though you really are in a bad place at the moment. Do hope things start to improve. Do you do the old steam inhalation to help sinus problems? I sometimes get awful sinus face/headaches and do a bit of steaming! Also I use a stick on my forehead, think its called Head - really for headaches, but has a nice tingly feeling after a couple of minutes and helps me to relax my face, which I think helps with the pain of sinus.
Don't know how you manage to carry on with all you do, but maybe it helps to take your mind off your health problems. Good luck. flowers

Been falling apart over last two months and my normal optimism is beginning to flag. As well as long term conditions such as asthma and hiatus hernia to deal with, I've had 3 bouts of a sinus infection which has left my head full of catarrh and my left ear deaf and full of fluid. Can't have decongestant because of asthma meds so am stuck with it. Then there was the kidney infection which resulted in an emergency out of hours appt last week. The antibiotics for that are now affecting my bowel, my hiatus hernia medication has been withdrawn due to potential cardiac side effects (domperidone) with no replacement being available. Result.... awake in middle of the night feeling sick. Factor in trying to maintain my usual activities (village amenities committee, pantomime, volunteer work, friends, gym etc) 4 grandchildren, a pregnant DIL, ageing and VERY demanding in laws who expect us to do 300 mile round trip every second weekend and my brain is about to explode. Oh and don't forget Xmas looming up! Sorry for mini rave but it's good to vent!
