RE: Where I Caught The Critter That Crawled In My Sinuses

in Outdoors3 years ago

I loved Pizza Hut as a kid too. Maybe because the crust is extra greasy? I prefer homemade pizza now, or one of the homemade-like local shops. Pizza does seem to be a fixture of every American childhood in one way or another.

I think I caught my son's virus, or more likely we were exposed at the same time and came down with it close together. So far all I've gotten from it is a headache, so I am counting my blessings. I do get a bit of pine scratchy throat annoyance for about three weeks every spring though, and that is nearly upon us. Yay. I think the master tonic does help. Initially it is potent as hell and it feels like you've swallowed hell. But you get used to it:)

My older brother learned how to make his own money early. He got a paper route of all things, back when boys (mostly) delivered rolled up newspapers to people's doorsteps from a giant basket on the front of their bicycles ! Once in a while the rest of us kids benefitted from his money making as he would sometimes share with us. I believe I actually remember the first time he bought a pizza from a locally owned place that was called Pizzaville. He had bought a large one and had eaten a slice or two before he got home and then he shared the rest with us. We were SO excited to be having some "real" pizza. It was a grand moment. 😄

Oh ! sorry about the virus. Hope you and the boy recover quickly !

If your headache is from your sinuses not draining, you can always try that trick where you take your finger and gently but firmly press at the top of your nose, about in-between your eyebrows, but maybe a smidge lower. Nearly always causes the sinuses to drain, pretty immediately.

Aw, what a good brother. I love your family. Mine would do stuff like that for us too. He would also pelt us in the face with acorns. Lol. Brotherly love.

Thanks, I will give it a try. I'm not sure that the sinuses are blocked at all, it just seems like a weird viral headache that has been going for 48 hours. But I will give it a go either way.

LOL... that was the best natural suggestion I could think of and I know if it is a virus, it won't be the cure..... but still, I was compelled to share.

It is a good idea. I love acupressure stuff. TCM is fascinating.

I read somewhere else that it said push your tongue up on the roof of your mouth while pressing in above your nose, but for me, that part isn't necessary. LOL !

Worth a shot:)
