Due to impulsiveness, my hair is now somewhat reddish. Thankfully, however, it is _not_ the slightly pink that it appeared last night!

Also, sleepy due to difficulty falling asleep and to being awake at 6am this morning.

I also hate my sinuses. Mostly because, even though I fairly recently did the whole antibiotic thing (within the past 6 months?), I still tend to have a startling number of apparent sinus headaches. And the dizziness for no apparent reason at the same time as sinuses misbehaving is back, although not as bad or often as when it first started (that being what finally got me to pester my doctor for antibiotics). Stupid sinuses. They didn't used to do this to me. Past few years, at most. Perhaps I should pester my doc again. I am _so_ tired of doctors, of late. Much as everything is minor stuff, I've seen an awful lot of them lately!

*whine* But I want to know how to make it _stop_ happening, not be told that it sometimes happens that way! (however, yes - I did know that happens)

(yes, antibiotics help, but they don't appear to have managed to make it stop happening. Sadly. May have been insufficiently long last time, though, as she gave me a fairly brief set last time, and it was hard to tell if it helped because I then proceeded to get a cold at the tail end of the antibiotics. *sigh*)

My bedroom humidifier is my best friend! Decongestants and/or antihistimines sometimes also help. Or you could try a neti pot if you're braver than I am :)

Huh. You mean I might have stopped the humidifier a bit early? I was only intending to use it in winter, but...

what _is_ a neti pot?

[dancingwolfgrrl.livejournal.com]

I use my humidifier if I'm congested in spring or fall, plus all the time in the winter.

A neti pot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neti_pot) is a thing you use to, basically, wash out your sinuses with warm water. It sounds scary to me, but I know people who swear by them!

(I'm amused to note that when I'm writing html, I want to change whether I use "a" or "an" based on the code -- as in "an [a href=...]." Verbal much? :->)

Humidifier: noted. Currently trying to see if saline nasal sprays do the trick (they do seem to have killed the sinus headache, but the dizzy isn't gone yet).

neti pot: ok, that's scary looking.

html: yeah, I think I do the same thing. :)
