Right Now. At This Very Moment. I Feel Perfectly Okay.
I've cried half the day away, suffering from the worst pregnancy sinus stress "God is punishing me for not going to church at Christmas" headache I have ever had.
It's the second full day of it.
I can't tell if I'm nauseous because my head hurts, or because I'm just plain nauseous.
It laughed at the Extra Strength Tylenol.
It mildly shuddered at the large cup of black coffee and coke, recommended by this fine woman.
And then when it decided to lay dormant, still present, but not piercing, I got the chills.
I can't play with my daughter. I can't pick up my son. I can't even blog.
Now you know it's bad.
But right now, at 10:18pm Central Standard Time.
It is gone. It is all gone.
I'm eating a blueberry muffin, drinking water, sitting comfortably without 12 shirts and 4 pairs of socks, and watching E!
And I'm wishing as hard as I can that when I wake up tomorrow, it will just be a figment of my imagination.
It's been a while since my last pregnancy, but for my sinus headaches, I usually take sudafed and tylenol at the same time. I wonder if it's okay during pregnancy..... Does wonders for my sinus headaches.

I also get terrible migraine like headaches when pregnant. I'm glad I read this because I guess it's normal. It's terrible, I don't know how to get them to go away other than wait it out. I'm planning on asking my dr about it this week. And the tylenol doesn't help here either.

I really really hope you feel completely headache free when you read this (crossing all fingers and toes for ya).

I swear by the neti pot for a sinus headache. It flushes the upper as well as the lower cavities, and brings relief. It's especially helpful when the weather changes.
Try it! Any old dollar store 2 cup teapot with a long snout will work as well.
