If you've been following this blog for a while, you'll have noticed a trend, for a relatively healthy 22 year old, I'm really not all that healthy. I'd given up posting about my sinuses, but in the past eight weeks, I've been to urgent care twice and my family doctor twice, taken three rounds of anti biotics, used nasal irigation, had decogestants react with my effexor, taken decogestants anyway and hoped for the best, and spent WAY too much time whining about my sinuses.
My second urgent care visit was today. It took six hours, but I think it was worth it. I saw this
awesome nurse practitioner student (I love nurse practitioners by the way). He took the time to really figure out what was going on with me. I got poked and proded, x-rayed and stuck for blood. And this nurse practioner student figured out what the doctors didn't. I don't have a bacterial infection. That would be why the drugs didn't work! Now I have some nasal steroids and the joyous diagnosis of "chronic sinusitis". Colour me not impressed.
Anyway, I think that's all I have to say about my sinuses, other then THEY HURT! Last night I dreamed about having a whole drilled in my forehead to drain them. I was sad when I woke up and it wasn't real.
