So, I’m sitting here on the sofa and feeling thoroughly sick and tired of the sinus infection that has plagued me for the last week. I’ve been on antibiotics since Saturday and it would be nice to see some real improvement soon.
I’ve never had anything like this before. My hearing is muffled and the pressure behind my eardrums is extremely uncomfortable. Oddly enough, I’m fine in all other respects – no sore throat or blocked nose etc.
To top it all off, that blasted rash has flared back up again. Maybe it’s because I’m under the weather, but I’m really upset as it was showing signs of finally clearing. I could go back to the GP, but I don’t feel very enthusiastic about that, largely because I’ll probably get fobbed off with yet another emollient. I would be extremely happy to never see another paraffin-based product ever again.
I’ve bought myself some more rose cream from Earthbound Organics as it’s been one of the most helpful products I’ve used for blemishes. It arrived on Saturday, but the postman couldn’t fit it through the letterbox and I haven’t had time to collect it today. I’ll get hubby to grab it on the way into town tomorrow.
A friend has recommended a good private dermatologist, but I won’t be able to afford that until at least February. It’s nice to know I have the option though. In the meantime, I’ll have to grit my teeth and bare it or, more likely, just not leave the house lol.
