Sinusitis is starting to get a little better today

I still haven't shaken off this flu. And I know, with the idiots I am living with, it's no wonder.

My voice is still congested, my sinuses are still blocked up and hurt, but at least my teeth have stopped hurting today. They were all hurting me quite badly the last 3-5 days, I think because of the sinus infection. Whenever there is a bad sinus infection, it can make the teeth hurt too, as their roots are near the sinus walls, so any inflammation in the sinus passages, can put pressure on the teeth roots and make everything just so painful. Plus, given the abscess I had on my top right molar, it just aggravated the pain and made it all hurt even more.

Today, I think because of all the olive leaf extract, echinacea and saline nasal spray I have been taking and using, the pain in my sinuses and teeth has settled down and not hurting any more. Thank goodness! Even the area around where the root of the molar with the abscess is not painful like before too - I can press on it without it hurting me real bad like before. There is some tenderness there, but not bad pain, as such.

I still feel really tired and lethargic and that is because I am still sick, but it is getting better, slowly. I made the appointment with the dentist to get the next part of the root canal completed. Great. Hopefully it should be as painless as the first appointment I had!

Just cant shake this flu and sinus infection at all

I am still sick - 3 weeks after getting this flu, my voice is still congested, my nose is still blocked and infected, I am still coughing and I still feel lethargic and sleepy. It's annoying.

I have been taking olive leaf extract, which has known anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties and while it is helping, it doesn't seem to be enough because I still sound and feel sick.

I feel so sleepy every day. No matter how much I sleep, it feels like I haven't slept enough and I want to keep on sleeping some more.

In addition to this, the abscessed tooth which had the first root canal session is hurting a bit, probably due to the sinusitis infection being more prominent on the same side as the abscessed tooth. It probably means the abscess infection hasn't properly cleared up, but the problem with my sinus infection is that when I lie down flat so they can work on my teeth, because everything is very congested in the back of my throat/nose, it makes it very hard to breath and that will affect the dental work. The receptionist understood when I told her (she could hear my voice too, which was very congested) earlier this week, on Monday, that I was unable to have the dental appointment the next day. She said she would call me in about two weeks to see if I am feeling better and to try to re-schedule the appointment.

Right now, my head is so totally blocked up and hurting me, pain in the right side of my head where my frontal and maxillary sinuses are located.  And this idiotic, abusive family I have don't help much either.

I so wish I could win a huge amount of money on a Lottery and just get the heck away from them. I wish!
