The ‘why am I not asleep thread?’

OOOPs didnt read to the end of your post AG :lou_is_a_flirt:

While you were watching tv I was sufferi g - bloody sinus infection - so when I lay down it resolutely expands and hurts like fvcks affects my eye teeth and facial nerve - so like a migraine.

So yeah I was sipping medication at 3:30am to no avail.

Arrrh couldn’ post anything as couldn’ see straight.

Hangover is much more manageable tbh

Sinus kicking off again

Ffs

Have you tried “Night Nurse”…it certainly knocks you out. It has an antihistamine in it too so will aid the claggy sinuses. I had a cough for 8 weeks…the tickley cough runny nose…not worth going to the quack kind of thing but bloody annoying all the same.

Max strength Sinutab (or local equivalent) and an anti-histamine (loratadine is my choice) worked wonders for me.

Thanks but way past that.

Got whacked on the bridge of the nose while playing hockey (I blame Rupert). Never had an issue until about 4 years ago.

There is one tree here that gives lots of people trouble in a hay fever way (never had that before I came). Anyway after XRay’s and MRI’s finally fund the nose was broken all those years ago and so there is a slight restriction of the sinus. They could operate but “it has a risk factor” so no.

When that damn pollen hits it kicks off hours of running (Clarinase & Xyzal help avoid drowning) but every evening when I lay down it dries up and expands putting pressue on the eye socket and facial nerve and even some of my remaining teeth roots.

So the Meds are all prescription and the most powerful allowed down here. Ice Packs and Politices also help. But sometimes even a bottle of Scotch won’t work.

The simple answer is to implement the exit strategy and get away from that one damned type of tree. Hopefully 4 days in UK & France next week will swamp that problem with Man Flu.

Ah good old Man Flu…and as you probably know it’s available over here without a prescription so dose up while you can. :lou_lol:

My gf woke me up at 3am wanting sex. She couldn’t understand why I was mad! B-but you love sex, she said.

How would you feel, I said, if I woke you in the middle of the night and told you to do a bunch of push-ups?

It’s not often i win an argument. I thought I’d record it here for posterity!

So I got back last night to home about 9pm.

I’d left my hotel in France at 6am. It was -3C and had to scrape the ice off the rental car.

Having had a couple of beers to chill down I went to bed.

Not for a moment registering the fact that somehow while I was away, winter had ended and it was actually 28C in the apartment.

So no, I didn’t work it out, and do the obvious - turn on the A/C, I managed to be awake all night.

Grr
