Updates from the sinusally-infected: Interesting new side effects surfaced today.
Due to the mouth-breathing and the sinus meds, I developed perma-thirst. To quench perma-thirst, I ingested LOTS of fluids. As a result of pounding all the fluids, I had to go to the bathroom FREQUENTLY today. It worked out ok I guess...I had to go to the bathroom about as frequently as I needed to refill my water bottle, so I could do both in one trip up from my desk.
Despite the frequent hydration, the mouth-breathing also caused some dry lippage. So now I have dry and slightly chapped lips, that sting a little when I eat. I'm applying lip balm often, but until my status as an HMB changes, the lips are sorta out of luck.
The good news, I dont feel TOTALLY cruddy, just in the stuffy head --- medicine head---stuffy head---medicine head swing. I'm fully able to go to work and (apparently) blog. Though I'm making no promises regarding my level of coherence.
