Gah -- I don't have *time* to be sick

[jducoeur]

Woke up with a classic sinus headache this morning: sort of fuzzy around the edges, and stuffy without being precisely stuffed-up. Started to get more worried when I got to lunch and found that I had no appetite for it at all. (When I just nibble at caesar salad and macaroni and cheese, you *know* something is wrong.) Felt gradually more unsteady and queasy, so I went home at 2pm and took a 12-hour Sudafed.

I've never had projectile vomiting before. Not an experience I care to repeat. (Fortunately, I got to the bathroom in time.)

If I had a fever, I'd be worrying about flu, but my temp's been running normal-low the whole time -- best guess is that it's just a mild cold causing a truly horrific sinus flareup. I'm doing rather better now: taking some more Sudafed on an *empty* stomach partly cleared my head (although I'm still groggy), fixed the post-nasal drip and eased the queasiness. But it's still a slow-and-careful evening of chicken soup and toast for me, and a strong hope that this clears up tomorrow...

Some people are getting flu without fever this go-round. Take care and feel better soon!

Thanks. I seem to be feeling mostly better today, so I'm going to cautiously assume this isn't flu, just the sinus attack from hell...

Awwww. That's very unfortunate. Feel better soon!

Keep me posted. I will understand if this weekend has to change. I hope it passes quickly.

I definitely hope this isn't what I had a while back (which given the flu sans fever comment, I think could have been flu). I doubt it is though because mine was all throat and chest and only went into my sinuses at the very end.

Blech. Hope you feel better soon!
