I have been dealing with sinus headaches for the past month. My left eye has been throbbing horribly. I have popping Advil Liqui-Gels like candy and eating spicy foods to drain my sinuses to no avail. The headaches have been so bad, that I ended up with a boil on my left eyelid earlier this month (the boil has long since popped open with pus and infected hair follicles). The headaches have been more intense after Christmas. Today was the worse, spent most the day in bed with a wet towel over the left eye. It also felt like the left nostril was going to explode. I had to go out and do laundry and run a few errands, so I did that after resting with the wet towel. I also went and got a vegetarian burrito with jalapenos and hot sauce at Moe's, which alleviated some of the congestion.
Later that evening I ended up getting tired, so tired that my eyes were constantly closing. I ended up sleeping till midnight and I woke up in further pain. I had some leftover Advil Cold and Sinus, but was not sure whether to take it since I am on new meds that might conflict with it. Called the Walgreen's where I get my prescriptions at, and I was put on and off hold for thirty minutes. At one point I heard the pharmacist and pharmacy tech conversing about car insurance, but I was put back on hold. I even called customer service to complain and try to get a hold of the pharmacist, but it was no use. I had to call another Walgreen's to get help, and I got a hold of a pharmacist within five minutes who told me it was okay to take the Advil Cold and Sinus.
It's been an hour since I have taken it, and I am still feeling the same. The lights are dim in my apartment, because it's the type of headache that makes me sensitive to light and sound. I am seriously thinking of seeing a doctor later this week, if this shit keeps up.
