For the record:

1. Hot herbal orange tea with honey and gin is not a hot toddy. It burns us, precious. But it did clear out my sinuses.

2. I spent so much time yesterday pressing on my sinuses to try and get the headache to go away that my forehead is visibly bruised.

3. I have not replied to anyone about anything, for which I am sorry, but most of today I was busy either sleeping or continually blowing my nose.

3a. Wasabi on pizza is not too bad, especially if you can't taste much of anything anyway.

Wasabi on pizza sounds intimidating.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

It was. But by god it cleared the sinuses. :D

I remember you have that neti pot. Can you use it or is there a plant currently putting down roots in it?

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Well, the issue is more that I bought it second hand from the Salvation Army. There's no telling what else is growing in it...

Aww! *pat pat*

Are you using the Neti Pot? Not sure if that works for clearing sinuses, but I'm afraid to try it for ANYTHING. Are you taking any sinus relief meds? Over the counter stuff?

You need a blanket burrito, like Ianto's!

That pic will never stop being funny.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty proud of it :D

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

LOL! I am super proud of that manip :D

You should have put some Mineral Ice on your head.

I swear, it's my version of Windex.

I need to buy some! I wanted some last night. I don't have any of that or biofreeze OR icy-hot OR tiger balm!

Oh God, *gin* in a hot toddy? Why. Hell, I don't know why people drink gin to start with. I like hot water, fresh grated ginger, lemon juice, honey, and bourbon. Nom.

Oh, wasabi cures ALL when sinuses are blocked. Have a HUUUUGE heap of it. It's like Hall's, only it's actually tasty.

[firynze.livejournal.com]

Wow. I've never even pressed on my sinuses that hard. That's special.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

A hot toddy is whisky, hot water, honey, and lemon juice. Period. Although perhaps wasabi might be a promising innovation....*ponders*

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

When I'm in that state, I totally give up on blowing my nose, because it does nothing whatsoever to ease my breathing, it just makes my ears pop painfully.

The pressing thing doesn't actually work much when the inflammation is due to infection. Your body has that inflammation there for a reason, mostly to stop the spread of germs. You might want to quit that.

Intellectually I know it doesn't help, but when I do it I get three or four blissful seconds of relief before the pain continues. Sometimes I can't help it :(

.... The hot tea+alcohol...they sell that at a little bistro I know. But they call it a "Hot Tea-dy" because they like being clever like that.

Only buring people is not clever. Hope it feels better!

[maeritrae.livejournal.com]

Solpasinuuus.

You take it and then you sit there for an hour feeling slowly better and then the world gets all spinny and then you sleep for a bit and when you wake up it's all better.

Oh god sinuses. I had to take a flight with congested sinuses. Take off and landing were a special kind of hell.

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

OW YES. I went (temporarily) deaf in my right ear once from doing that (I don't even know how). Not fun. :P
