Sudafed Replay Contest For Sinusitis Sufferers

My mom told me that I got sick quite easily because I was a frail baby with sensitive immune system. I was in and out of hospitals because of that. Amazingly, I have learned to help improve my system by exercising and eating healthy foods. However, some things really don't change and go.

I have been plagued with sinusitis for as long as I can remember. It went to a very long hiatus that I thought I got cured already. And then one day, bam! I am suffering from sinusitis again. It became very prevalent around 2010 and I am still bothered by it upto now.

Having sinusitis is not a pleasant feeling. You feel like there is a pipe full of pressure that is about to explode in your nasal cavity. It gives me headaches, pain and the breathing is quite a challenge! It has caused me to miss a lot of activities where I could have enjoyed like hiking, trekking and even traveling. I have tried plenty of medications before. I have been in the doctors office one too many times and I have been prescribed anti-biotics to help me deal with the sinusitis problem because at one point, I kept having bleeding nose.

For once, I just want to be cured. It is an on and off thing and I hope  SUDAFED® can give me the relief I have been looking for.

SUDAFED® is hosting a fun giveaway/sweepstakes to sinus sufferers like myself! You will have a chance to win SUDAFED REPLAY™ to help them relive their regrettable and those missed out moments in their lives.

Sick, Sick, Sick

For 1 and 1/2 years, I have managed to steer clear of any bouts with cough, colds, sinusitis, fever, flu and other usual suspects in making my immune down. It is happening again. If someone sneezes near me and I will catch the flu. That's how frail my immune system has gotten these past few days.

I am trying my very best to eat well, exercise regularly, meditate to relax my mind, and keep myself warm when necessary. However, I just get sick easily unlike other people. I was so good for the past 1 and 1/2 years without any use of sick leave because I was fine but now, a month away from the end of the year and I have used 6 days already.

So, I am so sick of getting sick. I just hope I'll finish the year without anymore bouts with colds, cough, flu, sinusitis and whatever. I just want to be healthy like most people.

Bed Rest

I am on a 3-day bed rest while I recuperate from acute sinusitis and hypertension. I went to the doctor (finally!) yesterday because I couldn't stand the pressure on my nasal cavity and I was feeling feverish already. That could only mean one thing, I needed my antibiotics whether I liked it or not.

I waited for 45 minutes before being called in the doctor's office. Both myself and the doctor were surprised to see my blood pressure to read as 143/100. That was way too high.

So, I am back to my antibiotics, anti-allergy and hypertension meds again. I also have to wait for the result of my blood test for everything that could possibly causing my hypertension and inability to lose weight inspite of the exercise regimen and low-sodium diet.

Am I going through menopause?!? I am praying that my renal test is also okay. I drink a lot of water and certainly not a salty food junkie but I'm really scared.
