Fucking sinuses. I dislike having headaches for days. I dislike waking up with headaches, especially when they wake me up even more often than I already wake up. *gives up and takes sinus meds*

I finally got around to getting myself a better humidifier (online, today), since I keep not going to a store to get one. I also got an electric blanket. But now I'm wondering if I should lend it to ayalanya because her room is so damn cold in the winter.

Also, I dislike having sinuses make my jaw hurt.

And I dislike having my muscles all hate me (Hmm. My toes don't seem to hate me. My ears, either), especially when I was in a hot tub as recently as last night!

(incidentally - how normal is it to have the ingestion of (most?) alcoholic beverages, within less than 5 minutes, have the effect of causing most of the muscles in my body to hurt in a burning kind of way (especially shoulders/back/arms)? It passes, but it does make me wonder if that would be a deterrent even if the dislike of the taste of alcohol were not)

Did I mention 'ow'? In an annoying kind of way, since most of my ows are annoying ones. And, of course, now I compare all pain to the pain of kidney stones, and have to remind myself that not being as bad as that does not mean that I should just cope and ignore it. Because, as I keep forgetting, long periods of pain of a sufficient level for me to notice are _draining_. (both headaches and muscles aches aren't unusual for me, mind)

Ow.

Alcohol generally relaxes my muscles... have never had a burning feeling like you describe. Are you well-hydrated when this happens?

Are you well-hydrated when this happens?

Yep. And it's happened most, perhaps all, of the times I've had more than a tiny sip of alcohol (tiny sips may or may not have any effect in that particular manner). It seems to be worse where my muscles are already unhappy, but not just there.
