*sad me.
So here's my next battle plan:
Sinuses, meet the neti syringe.
Neti syringe, meet my sinuses.
I'm going to, for the sake of both brevity and gag reflexes, spare you the graphic details of what this produced. Anyone who's ever done the neti pot, the syringe, or any variation of a saline sinus rinse, ya'll know.... this isn't a beautiful thing.. [lol].
Long story short, while I spent a solid 3 hours post-rinse blowing my nose, it did alleviate some of the pressure in my head. In my attempts to follow holistic remedies, I drank some apple cider vinegar, too.
Oh, the things we health nuts do to avoid western medicine. womp womp womp....
Keep in mind I've lacked the ability to taste anything pretty much all week. So to celebrate a window of cleared sinus pressure, I whipped up this little buddy and admit it's never tasted better:
lemon pepper salmon & garbonzo-cucumber salad
nom nom nom.
So while it seems now as though I should probably just come to terms with this sinusitis, or whatever I have plaguing my head, I really don't want to. I've scheduled a dr. appt for Tuesday of next week; I hope this has let up by that time, but if not, I might just have to give in and actually.take.medicine.
We'll see.
