For the second time in two weeks, or more precisely 11 days,
I have had a sinus migraine that nothing seems to help dissipate. I used to take Sudafed until I was in my 40’s. Then I
started having a little problem after I took the Sudafed so I went to my
husband’s urologist. He didn’t think it was funny when I told him my symptoms
were identical to any man over 40 that you catch talking in the restroom. Well, I didn’t really overhear them in the
restroom but it is what they say. But
after a very expensive uncomfortable and for me scary outpatient procedure (OK,
so it wasn’t really that bad, but for me anything near a doctor or hospital
constitutes scary and uncomfortable) my doctor said not to take Sudafed anymore
because it makes my prostate swell up real big and I can’t, as my sweet grandma
would say – make water. OK, you got me, he didn’t exactly say that but he did
say not to take Sudafed anymore if I want to use the water closet. Then I figured out 3 Advil and some coke and
voila! In less than 10 minutes, complete
relief from upset tummy and all other sinus issues. Now, nothing seems to work and my head just
spins. Well not exactly my head, but
what’s inside my head. So imagine all
those weird thoughts and conversations I have in my head and then putting them
on that little merry-go-round that you played on as a kid and then you will see
my problem. It’s kind of a cross between
being pregnant and a 3 day drunk.
Although I don’t recall ever being on a 3 day drunk, this is what I
think it would feel like. So, to P or
not to P? (haha, my attempt at Shakespearian
humor) Yep, I did. I just
took the Sudafed and ahhh.. the sweet relief of breathing! Hey, a girl’s gotta do
what a girl’s gotta do. I will deal with tomorrow when tomorrow comes!
And that my friends, is Life Wtih Cheryl on the Northern Neck!
