Ravenbeauty Posts: 3,755 Joined: 2002/09/24	2002/10/31, 01:07 PM I am not one to usually whine about pain to anyone (except my boyfriend) but i was woken up this morning at 2 am with this terrible sinus headache. and i mean this one is bad, no pill is taking it away and even closing my eyes all the way to work did not suffice it. does anybody out there have any relief suggestions that i can try? Thanks everyone!!! ---------------------------- Bettia.... You are nothing less than Beautiful in my eyes.

One is to do like jnellie said and the other is to snort up hot water to clean out the sinus cavity (this also helps with allergy problems). Not a lot of water casue it can fill it up if you do not blow it all out, and that is bad...good luck! -------------- Lifting equals peace of mind!!!

LOL I guess i could do that, i used to with the babies when they were little. kinda used warm water though and splashed it up in their noses then squeezed. if they can do it, i can! LOL thanks! -------------- Bettia.... You are nothing less than Beautiful in my eyes.

Chili cook off is over and I won for the spiciest!!!! Had a lot of goods to eat and still this headache is not gone. I went into the bathroom and did the MUTT thing!!! (so no one would see me) it cleared it up a little, but it's still there. I would hate to be like this tonight with all the little kiddies trick o' treating everywhere. WHHHHaaaaaa!!!! Okay I am done now. Jnelli and DP I think I am going to do yours next, plus wht ravenwolf had PERSONALLY suggested, a hot cloth over my head. -------------- Bettia....

Carivan Posts: 8,542 Joined: 2002/01/20	2002/10/31, 06:02 PM Ok...I'm da sinus pro!! Fist off go to the pharmacy and buy sinutab xtra stregnth. Take 2 with 1 extra stregnth tylenol or motrin or something like that! Take a face cloth or towel and make it as hot as you can take it. Place it over your eyes and cheeks and a little over your nostrils and then just relax. It will take about 20-25 minutes or 5-6 times of re-heating the towel, and you will get the cavities open. At least you won't drown! What ever you do stay lying down after for about another 20 min. Works on my worst sinus pains! There is also another product by prescription its called Flonase or Beconase. It will take away the problem thats giving you the blockages! OR as the DR says.... Take 2 asprins and call me in the morning! -------------- To change it, or to create it, simply train it!

But still I got a lot of good advice from you Jnellie, Mutt, DPking, Carivan and my BEST MAN, RAVENWOLF. thanks all!!! If interested in the chili recipe, please let me know and i will post it in the appropriate place, it is very lowfat, with the exception of not using the beer.....LOL. -------------- Bettia....

Take great care to stay away from your eyes. good luck. P.S. for general headaches or even migrains Tiger Balm messaged into the temple region works great too. -------------- Never be afraid to try something new.
