I have never had headaches like this in my entire life. My worst hangover over the last 2 decades have nothing on the last 3 days of hell.

I’ve done Sudafed, mucinex, water water water, hot shower, hot compress, Tylenol, aleve, ibuprofen.

This living organism cannot handle this amount of pain.

I’m gonna go throw up now

    Be careful about the nasal sprays. I used to use Afrin. When it wears off, it causes the sinuses to swell, leading to a literal addiction to stay clear. I relied on that crap for years. Claritin D (from the pharmacy) works for me now.

      Afrin is a decongestant. Flonase is a steroid. Azelastine is a second generation antihistamine. They are all different nose sprays and work through different mechanisms. Follow the instructions on the box or ask a Dr for questions about ongoing use.

      I’ve been on flonase for a couple decades without incident.
