Sinus issues stink!
Totally frustrated that I haven't been able to participate in all the games I've been tagged in. And I've missed a ton of posts too. So if I haven't liked or reblogged anything it's because I'm a mess and playing catch up.
Miss you all.
The fact that the longstanding infection surgically evacuated from my sphenoid/ethmoid sinuses grew freakin' MRSA is...well, really, I suppose such exoticism is just par for the course for my health.
(I had a septoplasty in addition to all the carpentry and remodeling done to remove the infection/open my sinuses and am doing much better than I expected for four days post-op. Hail prednisone.)
The best thing for MRSA is apparently to drain it, so I've got that covered; I also have one of the big anti-MRSA antibiotics going orally and will probably get more or another once the lab fully cultures the bacteria and finds out which drug will kill it best. Now that I've done a speedrun through PubMed on the subject, I'm very carefully not thinking about things like "what if it got into the bone where antibiotics don't penetrate real good?" and "what if after getting into the bone it gets into the brain?" because they are extremely, exceptionally slim possibilities, but yeah, every headache from now on is probably gonna make me a little nervous.
The following foods and herbs can be good for sinusitis:
– Basil:
Basil is good for sinus congestion.
You can make an Italian pasta, Spaghetti alla Genovese with basil.
You will need the following ingredients:
– 0,75 dl/ 0,3 cup extra virgin olive oil
– 2 bunches of fresh basil leaves
– 4 tablespoons of pine nuts
– 2 cloves of garlic
– 50g/ 1,8 oz grated Parmesan cheese or Grana Padano cheese or Pecorino cheese
– 500g/ 1,1 pounds of spaghetti
– salt to taste
– 50g/ 1,8 oz grated Parmesan cheese on top when you serve it
Cook the spaghetti. Toast the pine nuts. Grind half of it for the pesto, the other half will go on top when you serve the dish. Wash and chop the basil and the garlic. Blend the pine nits, the cheese, the basil and the garlic. Salt it to taste. Serve the cooked spaghetti with the pesto, and put some ungrinded pine nuts and some grated Permesan cheese on top.
– Elderflower (Sambucus nigra):
You can make arugula salad with pomegranate, sheep milk cheese and elderflower vinegar.
You will need the following ingredients:
– 200g/ 7 oz arugula
– 1 smaller pomegranate
– 1 smaller shallot onion
– 1 clove of garlic
– 50g/ 1,8 oz sheep milk cheese
– 3 tablespoons of olive oil
– 1 tablespoon of elderflower vinegar
– pepper and salt to taste
To make elderflower vinegar put 10 elderberry flowers in 2 cups (5 dl) of apple cider vinegar. Let it stand for 2 months. It is ready when the vinegar becomes light amber-colored. Steep the vinegar. Now you can use it.
Chop and mix the vegetables, peel the pomegranate, then put the chopped sheep milk cheese and pour it with olive oil and elderflower vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Blend the flour, milk, eggs, water and sugar, and you will get the pancake base. Peel and cut the apples. Dip the apple slices in the pancake base. Fry them with a minimal oil. Sprinkle the fried apple slices with icing sugar and cinnamon.

10 minutes breaks aren't enough. I need my girlfriend off shift now.
Hour and a half to go. Had food. Need to lay down. Relax. Distract self. Enjoy games. Also need to deal with my sinus issues. Cause. I don't want this to become another infection. Or is it already an infection. The sinus problems are so 24/7 that I can't even tell when an infection begins or ends. This shit is BAD. Just progressively got worse since 2020. I say 2020, but I started noticing breathing difficulties when I was 12 and shit got real bad when I was in high school. So I've been getting regularly sickly since like I was 15. So uh- longer than 2020. The sinus infections just became more regular in 2020.
Like everything with me. It's all gone down hill. I'm 23 and feel worse than my 60+ parents. Yay chronic issues and disabilities mixed with terrible neglect. At least I have some stuff to help me cope like eye drops and this saline spray. It's honestly helped clear a lotta stuff up for me.
