Cold/sinus infection with beginning of period?
Posted By: Quitefrankly on 2008-06-25

Okay, here's the deal. The day before my period, for the last year or so, I get a horrendously bad cold/sinus infection/flu-type process. It usually goes away about a day or two after my period. I have never ever had this happen before and its really bad this month. I have all the symptoms... stuffiness, red runny eyes, runny stuffy nose, pounding headache, throat like daggers, etc. It started as postnasal drip yesterday and I thought ohhh great... here we go. Needless to say I was up most of last night in complete tears because of the pain of it all and not being able to swallow at all. I have tried researching on the internet about this happening, but can't find any information. Has anyone heard of this or had this happen? I just want to stop it. truly, I would take the worst god awful cramps over this torture. I have had this both on and off the pill and I am only 31. Any information would be appreciated as I know what a wealth of information our community could be. Unfortunately, I am in Europe and so I can't go to my GP easily. The doctors here don’t do anything about anything unless its major either and I know they will brush it off as some silly sinus infection, but it happens every month and goes away in 3 days on its own, so it can't be a run of the mill thing. Any advice is welcome. I go home to the US in 6 months and I can wait if I have to, but maybe some angel out there knows something to help. I have tried tons of medications and herbal things/natropathic and nothing works except my period being established.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the icky topic. ;)

I had a sinus infection a few weeks ago - it's gone now, but (sm)
ever since then I've had the BPV. That's what I think it is. Worst when I first lie down in bed. Goes away after a few seconds.
sinus
Dr. Oz uses a neti pot to cleanse his sinuses. He was on Oprah and showed how to use it. I believe might just work. Worth a try?
Sinus problems
 Is there some magic cure for sinus pressure/pain? During this time of year I am miserable. I have tried everything on the market and nothing seems to help. Any suggestions?
sinus sufferer
Sinusitis and/or seasonal allergies, both aggravating alone but together maddening. I have to live with it every day but you can't be passive about it. I follow my ENT advice when it comes to the distilled water/sea salt sinus irrigation and other things, but not the steroids. Any steroids above the neck is bad news for your eyes, don't recommend Flonase. Get sinus rhinoscope from your friendly ENT and CT sinuses scan. Your turbinates are probably swollen! MacNeil sinus bottle available at Walgreens. I use the bottle but not the packets. Get a working recipe for relief from your local dedicated ENT. I take Claritin too, it helps.
Have they ever done a sinus culture on you? sm
There's a possibility that they are giving you the wrong antibiotics or just not a long enough course. Also, it coud be a fungal infection, in which case you would not need an antibiotic, but an antifungal drug. Sometimes when the infection is long term or persistent, you need to be on medication longer than the usual 7-10 days. Good luck.
sinus problems...
i have always had chronic sinusitis. but....i have had this little knot right on the top of my front gums. in the maxilla area way up high on my gums, like right under my nose. sometimes it gets tender if i get sick...but not sure of any lymph nodes in that area. well, last week i woke up with a stiff neck and feelign tired, tired, tired...just not myself. friday, the knot in my maxilla started getting larger and started having mucous draining down my throat, but my nasal passages were completely dry, almost uncomfortably dry. saturday i bought a neti pot and started cleansing my sinuses with saline. by sunday morning i woke up with the knot the size of a huge marble and pain...and burning. my left eye was almost swollen shut. monday, went and saw my doc, said it was probably an infected hair folicle??are you kidding me? gave me z-pak and flonase., well today the knot is the size of a walnut. cant close my lipds together, and i am swollen from my eye down to the top of my lip. this knot is hard like really hard, solid and has spread out of my gums to where i can see it and feel it. the knot extends up passed the bridge of my nose and sticks out. has anyone heard of a sinus infection like this before? thanks.
Sinus Problems
Can someone recommend a good sinus/allergy medicine? I am currently taking generic Claritin and occasional Sudafed without much relief. For some reason this week my sinuses are horrible. I also have a lot of nasal congestion. TIA!
Have you ever tried a neti pot to cleanse your sinus
Maybe you should ask your doctor first, but these things are great. I don't have major sinus problems, but I do have an itchy nose from allergies, and my neti pot helped me. Here's a link to amazon.com if you want to check it out.

I used to have lots of sinus problems
until I went on a low-carb/modified Atkins diet. I did it to lose weight and ended up getting rid of all my sinus problems. I stopped eating all processed food, bread/bakery, pasta, rice, ice cream (except for Breyer ice cream because it is all natural!). I lost a lot of weight and got rid of sinus problems. Now I can tell when I have been off with my diet, because the allergies will kick up again.
possible infection
Hi trose,
If you're feeling that uncomfortable, get to your nearest ER and forget the funeral. Cat 
Maybe he has an infection
Do you see him licking his tail or genital area quite a bit?
Anal gland secretion is just about one of the worse smells! OMG!!! Talk about an appetite deterrent! That smell just takes my appetite away.........and forget about eating!
Yuck!! Gag!!  (this is about how I feel when I smell anal gland secreation!!)
You may have an infection.....
Have you tried calling your PCP and asking for some antibiotics? Ifyou have an infection or abscess, the antibiotics will at least bring down the pain once the infection is taken care of.
That being said, if there is any way you can find a dentist to work with giving you a root canal and making paymennts, it would be better to save your tooth than have it extracted. Once it's gone, it's gone.....this way you still have a tooth, which is very important for a lot of reasons.
I feel for you. My husband has had a root canal on just about every tooth in his mouth.....we knew he would need a root canal every time the pain began.
I have a question about an infection
I woke you yesterday with my entire head and face hurting. I felt sure this was a sinus infection but really didn't have anything to take except OTC meds. By yesterday evening I was having a lot of pain between my shoulder blades. The only relief I got was lying on my side. Throughout the night the pain spread through my entire back. I haven't done anything to strain my back. Basically took it easy most of yesterday. I tossed and turned all night becasue everytime I could get comfortable it would only last a few minutes. Using a heating pad seemed to make it worse. About the only way I can get comfortable is sitting up but hunched over with my arms crossed in front of me. It is possible for an infection to spread to my back like this. Help...I have to go to a funeral this afternoon.
uterine infection
Has anyone ever had a uterine infection? I had one 4 years ago and then recently I had another. I took the 10 days of antibiotics and then in a few days it started to come back. I have never seen a more persistent type of infection. When I had it 4 years ago I had to have my antibiotics refilled 3 times to get rid of it. I was wondering if anyone else has had this.
Probably a yeast infection - sm
I am overweight and have a pannus which I need to keep an eye on it underneath gets quite irritated and once I started to get a yeast infection I believe. I just used the athletes foot cream on it for a couple days and it cleared right up. I hope to one day (after I lose about 80 pounds) have it removed and have an abdominoplasty.....just need to save up $7-8K for the surgery as my insurance won't pay for that, LOL.
undiagnosed HIV infection in
Maybe no deaths in US yet because they were all kids who had been on spring break.
Maybe deaths in Mexico are from sexually active young adults HIV infected, but not diagnosed.
Just a guess.
NeilMed Sinus Rinse works great if you can do it on a regular basis.nm.
Point out he can get a blood infection and die - sm
if he does not get his teeth taken care of. He must have some rotten breath too, yuk. Guess you don't do much kissing either. I went out on 1 date with a guy with bad teeth, gross, I did not want to kiss him goodnight and barely did, never dated him again because I was so grossed out.
What does a kidney infection feel like? sm
I have had UTIs in the distant past but never a kidney infection....wondering if I have one now though.
A 'yeast infection' from a condom?' Is this even possible?...
Is there something more going on in this story?
I hope she got rid of her yeast infection.
Who infected whom?
And why is she acting so hysterically?
I'm not sure it would be classified as a "yeast" infection, but you can
get vaginal irritations from almost anything including the spermicide or lubricant used on a condom! Trust me, I know! Especially if you are sensitive to those sorts of thing. I have gotten "yeast" infections from changing detergents, soaps, etc.
Also, my niece, who is 17, recently dropped the "I'm pregnant" bombshell. She is allergic to latex. A year or so ago when she started dating her baby daddy she kept getting these vaginal irritations, cysts that had to be opened and drained. Nobody could figure out why she was getting these. Of she swore she wasn't having sex. Uhem, long story short, apparently she didn't realize that condoms are made of latex. When they figured it out, they stopped using them with plans for her to get on the pill, but you all know how that story goes. She never could get to the doctor, blah, blah, blah.
So yeah anything is possible, but with alternate methods of birth control readily available to teenagers today, a yeast infection from condoms is still no excuse.
I've definitely had a yeast infection with antibiotic use...
When I had to take antibiotics for a tooth infection, I had to also get Monostat for the horrible yeast infection I got. I don't think I've ever had one other than that, so still don't think it's linked to my liquid fabric softener.
Anyone else get a foot spa pedicure and end up with a fungal infection?
I am horrified to say the least. I never, ever go get manicures or pedicures because I am aware of all the nasty germs that lurk in places like that, but one of my friends wanted to go and I went with her. I have to say, it was a lot of fun and very relaxing, but when we were leaving I saw their health score framed on the wall. It was an 83!!! That was 4 months ago. The infection is only on my great toe on 1 foot, so for that I am glad. So now it is 3 months of Lamisil and LFTs every month.  Anyone else ever experience this?
Probably got her period or something just as --
silly. She was ordered back to court this morning though and I bet will end up back in jail as the sheriff messed up big time. This "medical" condition has never reared its ugly head before so why now.
IT IS BEGINNING TO LOOK
Here I am in southern Indiana (right across the river from Louisville, KY) and it is simply beautiful here today! Of course, I get to stay at home and don't have to battle the elements - just keep the fire going!
The temp is around 32 with a brisk wind and it has been snowing furiously for the past half hour. We are only to get a dusting. The birds are flocking to the feeder - gold and scarlet finches, red-headed woodpecker, two pairs of cardinals, nuthatchers, snowbirds, wrens. Top this off with Christmas music playing in the background --- it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
House is totally decorated - in every room including bathrooms - Christmas shopping is probably 2/3 done and ... a whole pile of work waiting on me so I'd better get moving!!!
Merry Christmas to one and all. Don't forget the Reason for the Season!
I am beginning to wonder --sm
about the molestation part too, as he did mention, in what I had the opportunity to hear, rape and molestation several times in his diatribe. Last night on the news, they did several interviews with men and women who had gone to school with him either in high school or at VT and ALL of them said that he never spoke ...ever! When he wrote his plays, the class was supposed to discuss them with the writer for comments and to try to understand what he meant by writing them. When he was asked, he would not speak...not even to the teacher. Several students said that they would try to speak to him or include him in conversations and he would just ignore them. One of his dorm mates said he never spoke to anybody there, ever. There was another teacher, a female, who had asked him to be removed from her class because he was so disruptive and he frightened her. He was also complained against for taking pictures of girls' legs from under his desk with his cell phone. I really don't understand the revolution part either, but he did seem to have some ill feelings for some political leaders, too. How does one become so hateful? I guess we will never really know the answer to that.
Did from the beginning, but then (sm)
we turned off HBO to save money, so I haven't seen this season, but I plan on renting it when it's over. I love that show!! Especially Nikki.
They like him now, in the beginning it was
little difficult. The first time they met him was at the zoo for a picnic through his work. They were 10 and 5 at the time, so that way they weren't just thrown together with him one-on-one like if I had had him over to dinner. In the beginning we did things like that, or went to the movies where they really didn't have to interact all that much with them. Then gradually he was around more and more. They are now 18 and 13 and they get along great. He had an adjusment to make as well, his kids are 25 and 22, so he wasn't used to being around little ones again. We have been together 8 years now, and they just sort of expect him to be around all the time. I didn't try to force him or them on each other, but they knew about him, and once they saw I was happier with him than I had been in years, they adjusted pretty well.
Was beginning to think it was must me
We were old-time Folger's fans until recently, and I told my husband to change the type of coffee we were buying. Folger's tasted different, almost a bitter taste. I too used bottled water, and we changed our coffee pot too. It didn't work, so I am glad to know it was not just my taste buds that were off. It also smelled different.
No, I mean no alcohol period. nm
No wonder I got my period early!!
:)
I wouldn't have it. Period. sm
Let's Review: Because this man has no decency for manners and boundaries, his father is no better, so you should sit there and squirm?
Get your "@$&s* back, girl! I wouldn't spend one more afternoon like this.
But I would never have let it gotten this far. But that doesn't mean that you can't turn this thing around. He is an adult, as are you. Too bad someone will have to stand up and be the real one. Yes, I'm on your side. Totally!
Keep us posted.
I'm beginning to think the way to solve this whole (sm)
illegal invasion is to start suing the employers of these criminal scrum (it is after all illegal to be hiring them). The govt won't do anything about them. It's time to use the justice system. Every time one of these criminals kills, rapes, abuses, etc., all the families should sue the employer for criminal negligence. But for the fact they hire these criminals, they wouldn't be able to stay in the US to do their dirty deeds. Hmmm, maybe we need to turn the ambulance-chasing lawyers onto this. It just might work.
I hit hard at the beginning...sm
I work at the beginning of the pay period to get ahead a little bit so if I have a slacking day, I am okay. It is hard to stay motivated constantly, but this way most of the time, I see myself ahead of the game money wise and that motivates me more. I also keep a checklist of the bills and goodies that i want and check them off as i accumulate the money. Keeps my spending under control AND feels great when all those bills have check marks next to them. Doing this stuff, i have almost doubled my production over the last six months. Hope one of these help!
In the beginning, I thought she was really
talented, but now not so much. Maybe she's just not as good as the others or not progressing as much as they are.
And I agree about the diva attitude. That will work against her because the ones who get an attitude and are rude to the judges don't seem to last long & lose popularity with the voters...
I like Adam....Have from the beginning...
I hope he wins. He is a rocker, have you listened to a rocker who doesn't scream?
My Friday is Sunday, end of the pay period.

Most teachers have at least one planning period when they
can grade papers. If their job requires work-related hours away from school, they are given comp time.
But you know how long a normal period
should last, so therefore you take matters into your own hands and be more assertive before you drop over.
"did it SOUND like I used a period?""

I wouldn't talk about it again with him, period.
I doubt you will ever get it unless he grows up and accepts responsibility for himself.
I wouldn't waste my breath and energy being upset over it any longer. If he came over or called me talking about it, blaming me, I'd hang up or tell him to leave and push him out the door.
The day he can speak to me with decent respect and take his own accountability like a man is the day I would open that door or stay on the phone with him.
Ridiculous.
I just 'knew' long before my period was even
late. I also knew I was having a girl even though everyone kept telling me it would be a boy. Strange how the mind/body works! My breasts were also horribly tender at about 1-1/2 to 2 months along. My money is on you deserving some congratulations... :)
Here's the Fugitive beginning narration
As quoted from this site: http://www.tvacres.com/begin_police.htm
" [Voice of William Conrad on regular opening] "The Fugitive...a QM Production...starring David Janssen as Dr. Richard Kimble, an innocent victim of blind justice, falsely convicted for the murder of his wife, reprieved by fate when a train wreck freed him on route to the death house, freed him to hide in lonely desperation, to change his identity, to toil at many jobs, freed him to search for a one-armed man he saw leave the scene of the crime, freed him to run before the relentless pursuit of the police lieutenant obsessed with his capture...Tonight's Episode..."
I get mine taken off Sep. 26. In the beginning your whole mouth sm
feels weird, your lips feel swollen, and you do "feel" ugly when you open up your mouth. I don't even remember they are on anymore.
It's a small price to pay since you will yield great results in the end.
For me, I have clear on top and metal on the bottom. The problem I have is keeping them white since I love colas and teas - they stain easily, so I always rince with cold water after drinking tea or soda.
I see you are complaining about how you look and not about how you feel. The first 2 weeks I couldn't even eat! It was probably the most painful think I've ever experienced with intense jaw and teeth pain and I've had 3 children!
In any case, good luck!
PS: The office who takes care of my braces say that 50% of their patients are adults.
Yes, especially if you've watched from the beginning
Luv it
That's because it should be http at beginning, not https. NM

What infuriates me is that in the beginning he pleaded
totally innocent, knew nothing about it. Then he was offered a plea bargin and of course his attoney told him he'd better take it to get less time. . . now all of a sudden he takes full responsibility and is SO SORRY. People like him turn my stomach. I think he should be thrown into water and electricuted like the poor dogs who either died that way or had their skulls crushed. I can't even look at his face.
If I'm at the beginning, I'll start
with flour and oil or drippings. If I'm at the end, I'll use cornstarch and water.
I agree, a 2-1/2 year old is gross, period.
But a blanket over the toddler? The kid would probably start playing peek-a-boo and winking and laughing. How about that for a visual. Ick! lol
