sinusitis

My mental health has been better. There’s times when I struggle, but I’m trying my best to stay upbeat. Doctors have finally decreased my meds after I took it into my own hands and decreased it myself.

One thing I forgot to mention here was that I had a torn tendon 2 months back. I’m fully recovered now, which naturally means I’m getting tendon pain in the other foot and felt it trying to tear itself/ it would have if I didn’t have such a short distance to walk on that day.

I had bad news at my second post-op appointment. I was told I had an ear infection. It’s thankfully cleared up now, but it meant another two weeks of 3x a day drops, which didn’t really work with my lifestyle. Now it’s just the anxious wait to find out if it’s caused my op to fail, as they were worried.

The sinus issues have been bad. I wasn’t symptomatic last week, so I stupidly didn’t take it when I should have and I’ve paid for it this week where nothing is getting the migraines under control.

To be honest, I’ve been getting tired of taking medication. I’ve been taking them every day for almost 10 years now. I don’t remember a life without them. All my teenage and adult years, I was taking them. I hate that I can’t just simply go to sleep when I’m exhausted, I have to take my medication and make sure it’s the right amount of tablets for the right medications. And I’ve had 3 new medications added in the last few weeks, so it is getting tiring. But I simply can’t exist without them, I’ve seen what I’m like without them.

My chronic pain has been worse. And with my refusal to take painkillers unless absolutely necessary, worsened by the whole medication issue, I’ve been struggling.

Us chronically ill folks have enough to deal with, but then we go and catch something and get “sick” on top of our normal sick and quite frankly, it’s not fair. I already had enough extras on my plate with chemo side effects this weekend and then fevers with a sinus/cold thing happened. Don’t think it’s Covid, I’m fully vaccinated and avoid people and peopley places, it started out as my usual sinus crap and then snowballed because chemo lowering my white blood cells. I feel like if you’re chronically ill you should get a free pass from being “sick” sick with all this extra unnecessary yuck.

I find it amusing how I can handle level 10 pain like a champ, go on about my day with zero energy and crippling fatigue and not complain. But the second I get the sniffles, I want my mommy and some soup, lol.

I hope everyone else is doing well!

This morning the Fibro pain has again reared its ugly head- I hate when it starts my day,instead of ending my day( tho that's not nice to be hurting at bedtime,either!). Guess it's the below freezing temperature that's got it going. Don't you( those with fibro) just hate it when the fibro takes over even Before the day starts? It over comes the arthritis,the swollen feet & lower legs,the fitful sleep from the nite,and tired mind from having to deal with it & everything else on a daily basis. Even the pretty sunrise this morning gets hit. Big Sigh. Oh well,such is life when you are used to hurting All Over from an Invisible Disease. #Fibromyalgia ,#RA ,#oa ,#PTSD ,#GAD ,#Bipolar 2,#GERD ,#Insomnia ,#high Blood Pressure,#Allergies to most Everything,#sinusitis chronic,#Teeth problems( likely from meds been on for so long,acc.to dentist),#"covering" how I really am feeling,#bad dreams that carry over into the day,#restlessness ,#So many Meds,#dry Eye Syndrome,#Dermatitis -chronic,#Headaches ,Short term memory loss left over from ECT treatments,#Fibro Brain Fog,#sad ,#Overeating when illnesses take over too much,##Poor Self-Image,#Stagnant motivation,#chronic Talking to Myself-even Out Loud,#Talking & writing too much,#worry ,#Thinking of others instead of me,#people Pleaser,#Procrastination ,#Poor money management,#Ignoring important signs & Symptoms.

I’ve been in the midst of a nasty flare up for over a week now and nothing seems to be helping. I have seronegative spondyloarthropathy, chronic sinusitis, chronic migraines, tension headaches, endometriosis, neuropathy, and suspected IBS & everything is flaring up at once. The extreme pain and the nausea are really tough. Does anyone have any pain relief recommendations? Preferably ones without medication, but all recommendations are appreciated!! Thanks in advance.

I am a chronic asthmatic and have other health issues as well. I can manage my asthma most of the time by taking my daily medications. I am feeling very annoyed right now, because all the pharmacies in my town have no supplies left of my daily asthma medication because of the run on them by panic stricken people, who would most likely never have to use it! Due to my age and health issues I have been self isolating as much as possible, only leaving my home to get food or medicines. Now my situation has just became far more serious, pitting me at an even higher risk level! Panic has never solved any problem, just creates more difficulties. It is so sad to see so many people not caring that their irresponsible actions may create a serious life or death situation for others!
