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!

Have you tried any allergy medicines for the sinus headache? It could be a reaction to pollen levels. Even if you do not have hay fever your reactions can change, year to year. I find a bit of pseudoephedrine, sometimes aided by caffeine, will generally chase off a sinus headache. Though I try not to over use medication, sometimes I just need to be able to work and it will give me enough relief to allow me to.

I'm curious to see you in red hair. I suspect you'd look pretty cute in pink too ;P

I doubt it's pollen. I've had more or less this kind of random-seeming behavior as far as my sinuses for a few years now, although it appears to be getting gradually worse (or perhaps more frequent).

Mostly, I just want it to _stop_. I get headaches often enough that unless it's a really bad one, I can work (although perhaps not sleep) through it.

pink: Perhaps, but I _hate_ pink. :)

I have two thoughts.

One, I have a friend who was diagnosed with basically a sinus infection that was not completely curable with a standard treatment of antibiotics. There a places in the sinus cavities that do not have good circulation that the antibiotics can't get to and the infection stick around in those places and keeps coming back.

Two, Have you been tested for allergies? You may be reacting to some other allergen. Possibly food born, though sinuses are not the usual way that manifests.

Don't like pink? Fair enough. You're cute either way. :)

*nod* Which is why I'm contemplating pestering my doc again.

allergies: no, although I've never tended to have them.

Allergies = *so* random. They come and go for no apparent reason, sometimes. So never having had them in the past is, sadly, no indicator that you won't get them in the future! Sad, that.

I didn't develop my allergies until I was in college. I love this time of year, but man am I using a lot of Kleenex.
