I suffer from chronic sinus pain. It seems like any change in whether causes them to go crazy. If it stays warm, I'm fine. Turns cold suddenly, pain! It stays cold, fine. Sudden warm up, pain! Sometimes they act up for no apparent reason. I even tend to get a wicked sinus infection at least once a year. Thought I was going to die (and kind of wanted to) one time when I had a sinus infection paired with a double ear infection.
I usually get a dull pain in above my eyes, under eyes and across nose and at the base of my neck. Occasionally, like today, that pain is a little heavier and I get sharp pain behind one eye (my left this time). It really makes it difficult to do anything except veg.
The doctors have been trying pills, sprays, etc on me for years. My best solution so far is Tylenol Sinus and as much sleep as possible. Drinking a lot of water helps also since dehydration will cause a headache on its own. Complaining helps a little too
I resent feeling like a different person when I am in pain like this. I am grumpy with my husband and kids. I feel like an unmotivated lump. I can't retain a thought very long and my brain just feels fogged. Mondays are bad enough without this kind of help.
