Sinus or allergy problems

[Lady D]

Is anyone else having problems with their sinuses or allergies acting up? For three days I have had a headache from the time I got up until late in the evening. Head and ears stopped up, ears and teeth hurting. Achiness in my legs and joints around the elbows. Does anyone else experience this? I have been miserable. A pressure type headache in the back of my head. Need some suggestions, and some relief.

If the pollen is what gets you and it is bad, shower before you go to bed- because all that pollen in your hair just goes on your pillow, and then on your face!

Wow - I'm having terrible, terrible joint pain!! Both shoulders, one hip, one knee, one ankle. Just started about 10 days ago, the same time everyone else is suffering from allergies (which I don't have). And it came on suddenly, like over night! I go to my physical therapist 2x/week for the past 3 mos. for my plantar flasciitis and they've been concentrating on my knee now instead. I had an ultrasound a week ago at the hosp. to rule out a blood clot, or baker's cyst, etc. They found nothing. Just swollen and warm to the touch. I can barely get up and down the stairs, sleeping thru the night is a joke. I have an ice pack around my knee almost 24/7. All the docs want me to see a rheumatologist. But I have been considering that this is some kind of an allergy or menopausal symptom. Lord, this is bad.

Sorry to hijack your thread, Ladyd, but maybe this is all linked somehow.

Feel better soon.

No, you haven't hijacked anything. Glad to have your input into this. I too never sleep through the night. Whatever this is has me feeling very run down. I had noticed my legs feeling achy all week but now my arms feel that way. I had always wondering if sinus and allergies could cause body ache type feelings like the flu. And also, I too am thinking like you with the menopausal thing. The other night I was pulling the cover up over me one minute and the next I was throwing it off because I was sweating and this was just under a sheet. Almost like a hot flash.

Sounds polynese.

Folks with allergies have been having a miserable season this year. If you want in on a well kept secret to sinus relief, go to any decent drugstore and pick up a Neilmed sinus flushing kit;it costs about $10 and consists of a plastic squeeze bottle and several packets of salts you dissolve in water and flush the sinuses with. Those who have used it are impressed with the results and (surprisingly) report it is comfortable to use.

I've heard of sinus flush kits but this sounds awful. But the comfortable to use part I am not so sure about. But it might be worth a try.
