Death By Sinus Pressure
After what felt like a good night's sleep (at least for me -- Jon ended up on the couch because I was snoring so much) I woke up with a real pisser of a sinus headache. All I wanted to do was go back to bed, but that wouldn't have made my sinuses feel any less on fire. Now, a few hours later, I'm feeling better after taking DayQuil and drinking most of a large iced coffee. I just want to make it through the day so I can crash later tonight.

You have my complete sympathy! I know just how you feel. When i experience these episodes, i have a couple quick-relief tricks: a) nuke a cup of water til steaming, hold a napkin, towel, newspaper, etc, over mug and face, deep breathe moist air. Repeat as needed. (can be very helpful at work!) b) Increase consumption of hot peppers, hot beverages. c) Rice pack. Easy to make if you don't have one. Nuke it for a minute or so, lay it on your face. d) if heat ceases to bring relief try alternating heat and ice. Hope you feel better sooner.
Love you, oh, happy 1st anniversary!
