Sick days.

BeautifulLoser · 11-01-2004, 03:36 PM

I feel so fucking horrible. I have a sinus infection, and I feel like I'm dying. To make it worse, I scratched my left eye yesterday, so now it's all red and puffy and is covered in goo. Someone shoot me.

since it is Nov 1, I have accrued a sick day and now I have one in case i need it. i hate being without sick days.

Oh man I'm sorry

I am so prone to sinue infections and they hurt so so bad. Last year I had one and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me because I had just gotten over one and I seriously felt like I was going to die from the pressure in my head. I hope you have red Thera Flu, it helps.

drink some hot spiced vodka with hot melted butter then wear a surgeons mask with vics vapor rub on it.
take a couple drops of acid in your eye

I've been taking DayQuil and Tylenol: Cold and Sinus, and that's been working ok... I tried TheraFlu once, and it made me gag.

It's a little better today than it was yesterday.... yesterday, I had sooo much pressure in my head, but my ears wouldn't pop.

I get sinus infections all the damn time, it's like a damn part of my personality and I hate it.

Anyhow, I've found that Sudafed and the different generic brands like it help me a LOT more than tylenol's sinus medicine. Unless its a pure emergency, I hate Tylenol Sinus.

Actually, I got them even before I smoked...my entire life I've been blessed with the wonderful gift of crappy sinuses.

But yeah, another great benifit from not smoking is my health...it's only been a week and already I can feel the huge difference.

thats kewl. I'm glad I never started. Such an addictive personality.

Yeah, Thera Flu is fucking rancid tasting but it truly helps. I don't knwo if you get SEVERE throat irritation like I do when I get a sinus infection, but for sure this helps. I really like Sudafed, too.

Esty · 11-01-2004, 09:59 PM

Its rare I take a sick day. I had the flu and still showed up to work looking like I was just in a street fight and lost. Everyone told me to go home, I never did.

I'm sipping some Neo-Citran cold and flu.

As soon as I'm done, I'm going to make a massive pot of vegetable soup. Both souvenir and I have a nasty cold.

There's something funny about using a classic traditional remedy like home-cooked vegetable soup, and something called NEO-CITRAN

A clash of different worlds, I guess.
Neo-Citran has acetaminophen and some sort of decongestant in it.

Soup tastes good and keeps you hydrated. Plus, my soup rocks.
