    Bear, I am fighting one of my notorious sinus head aches again this morning, almost incapacitating... but lots of HOT coffee and pills... maybe.

    Well here I thought everyone had disappeared on me! No notifications again! Morning Stringy. Hope that nasty headache goes away soon. Trust me, I know all about them, and they are no fun at all!

    Stringer darling, I used to take Actifed or Sudafed for my sinus problems, but they really are not that good for you - too many side-effects. So, I reverted back to an old remedy - Horseraddish! Take a spoon full of that and it will clear your sinus tract and really make you breathe again. Honest, try it. Always have some at home. And stay away from sinus spray - it breaks down and ruins your mucous membranes and you'll get nose-bleeds, plus the crap is addicting. If you don't like horseraddish, then get a little bottle of Japanese mint oil and apply just a little into the nasal passages - it will burn a little but will also clear things up fast. You can also place a drop on your tongue and breathe in - it will help with sore throats and swelling.

    As for the rest of you, young kids prone to asthma and old kids NEED those flu shots. It's better than getting the dose of the virus without the body being a little prepared - too many very young and old die each year because they don't get the shots they should get.

    Please try and take this grandma's advice. I love you all and want you to stay healthy.

    Thanks mom, I will see if we have any horseraddish and try it. I also bought a nasal wash thing that the pharmacist recommended but you have to actually flood your nasal passages... UHGGGGG! All I know and remember is that the first time I learned to swim under water I breathed in water through my nose and almost died chocking... so how will this be different?? (I know Bear, don't do that---right? Ha ha).

    And you tell 'um; "get the flu shots!"

    This pain is terrible and a curse... the whole side of my head and down my neck and shoulders... wow, can't even move my head without a slam of pain... my eye lashes even hurt... :eek:

    Sinus problems made my head feel like it had waves that were smashing from one side to the other every time I moved - all the way down to the shoulders too. Then, you also know about how it feels as if something want to push your eyes out from the inside. Yup, get that horseraddish dear. It has helped me in winter and during allergy seasons for years now - thank goodness.
