That low came in last night and once again I am feeling the barometric pressure.

It feels like a sinus problem- my face hurts. I really should not complain because I have been so very well. I just am obviously affected by these lows and it is an El Nino year with a lot of them lined up off the West Coast.

Any ideas on what to do or take?

I am bundled up in blankies and watching B movies drinking hot tea - that is about all I can handle. Is this mother nature's way of telling me to slow down?

I'm so, so sorry, Annette! I hope that the low pressure system moves on quickly!!

Have you tried taking a decongestant and some tylenol or ibuprofen? Ibuprofen is also anti-inflammatory, so it helps in that way as well.

Since there isn't much that I have found that helps me when in these situations, I always just take it as a day that I should really slow down and take care of myself. We have a low coming in on Friday, and I have absolutely 0 on my schedule. I'm hoping that I can be here on the forum at least, but I know that it can make it so that I can't even think well enough to do that.

How about some hugs? (((((((((HUGS))))))))) that's about the best medicine I know of. <3

Thanks Traveler. I have quarterly taxes and year end W-2s to do and I have put them on hold. No way am I attempting math. LOL!

I will try ibuprofen.

Back to my movies and tea.

Thanks for being there.

You mods are so great to help take care of all of us at all times. I hope you all know how awesome it is having you there. <3 and hugs back at ya!

Hello Anette,

I am sorry that you feel worse today but glad that you feel generally better. smilewinkgrin

No advice to give other than relax.I had a worse day today and had to relax more and take a nap, also activated charcoal.And worked tonight for 3 hours.

I wanted to ask you about the surdought bread that you always brag about(I was drooling a few times because of your bread with nice butter and of course garlic) .So do you use flour with gluten or not for it?My hubby bought me gluten free flour and also rye flour for wich I should use dry yeast or some type of yeast.I think I can not make it like that-I mean sourdough.

Whole family is eating a lot of garlic because of you and they do not even know it.Lots of bruschetta tomato-garlic sauces not only to bruschettas.So, here we are.

All the best to you and have a better day tomorrow.




cool

I'm so sorry. I've had sinus/weather headaches my whole life, and they suck. When they're bad, the only thing to do is sleep. And when I get what I call a sinus migraine, I put on my sunglasses and watch tv in a dark room.

As far as congestion goes, breathe easy tea can be good. Or just mint tea.

I live in a zip up fleece robe, fleece or wool socks and slippers all winter.

Maybe a bath?

Hi PeteZa!-

I am so sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I hope that the front moves through fast, so that you will feel better! I wish that there was something that I could suggest for you to try.

Sending you many (((hugs!)))

I am sorry you are not feeling well PeteZa,

Weather changes get me too!
I don't know if this will help, but when I take GSE my nose runs. Are you stopped up? If you have some, you could try it.

Tea and Movies sounds good too ;)

feel well soon.

So sorry you're not feeling well, PeteZa!!

I increase my dose of Japanese Knotweed at times like this.

Hope you feel better soon!

awe, so sorry to hear peteza!

here are some great natural remedies to relieve sinus pressure -

- use saline to clear your nasal passages
- take a hot shower - or better, fill up the bathtub, then run hot water thru the shower into the bath for 5 min with the door closed - plenty of steam while you take a bath
- drink alot of water
- you can try taking bromelain (great supplement for sinus pressure/inflammation)
- try adding a spice to your tea (this can clear your passages as well)

and definitely Rest up!! if you have no place to go, let it snow!! =)

I sure love you guys. I just woke up. I think it is best to sleep through bad times. LOL! I did about 15 minutes googling and it seems that I am not the only one that feels lyme from a low. Barometer is 29.61 and holding. I wish it would go away. Up up and away!

I did spicy snacks thinking that would clear my sinuses and lots of hot tea. I feel just puny and this is not like me. Sure makes me thankful for those good days!!!

Thanks for the JK tip CD. Chapelle I will try the bromelain. I have breath easy tea too, thanks sayydina. Sunfun, purple tulip and little bear I cherish the hugs - thank you.

Fini, I haven't had the energy to make my sourdough bread and have just been buying it from the health food store. I am having it with lots of garlic and my kerrygold butter tonight. Even when I am not hungry, there is something about the smell of toast.

Be well my friends. <3

stock up on Elderberry too!! I am taking that everyday for immune support, and haven't gotten ill since my last bout of sickness.

and sending Many Many Hugs too!!!!

Hi PeteZa!-

I hope you are feeling better today?

((Hugs))

I was hurting so badly yesterday. I woke up this morning euphoric! I think lyme is bipolar. I went and did the quarterly taxes today. Go figure???? One day really sick and the next day fine.

However, I really upped the garlic last night. I was too sick to eat dinner and I just had garlic toast and tea. I ate so much raw garlic that it's a wonder my pillow isn't melted. LOL But this morning all the nastiness was flushed down the toilet. I think "stuff" didn't move well enough the day before. I honestly think you must clean out the intestines daily and well. Hope this isn't TMI

Thank you for asking ((((Little Bear)))) so sweet.

~Annette
