Stolen from several people...
Cute.
GRR. HEADACHE. Why do I have a headache, do you ask?
I have what is commonly known as post-nasal drip. It's where mucus runs down the back of your throat and into your stomach on a permanent or semi-permanent basis. For me, it's a permanent basis, and it's worse than normal because I have an over-achieving mucus gland.
I also have a bone obstructing the air-ways in my nose, so they're about 1/4 and 1/8 their normal size respectively.
I also get sinus problems, because I have allergies, which is also linked to the over-achieving mucus gland.
To top it all off, several months ago, I started getting blood noses on a fairly regular basis - once or twice a day, usually. Before this, I'd had about 3 blood noses in my entire life. So I see the Dr, and she tells me I have very thin skin around the blood vessels in my nose, and I would have to see an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) specialist. Ouch. Doesn't happen that often now, because I try not to blow my nose too hard or too often, but it still happens.
Add all that together, and you get severe sinus headaches, as well as the blood noses. You also get the combination of the blood-down-the-back-of-the-throat thing, which is just TOO GROSS. I can taste it, too, which just adds to it's INTENSE GROSSNESS.
So yes. Pressure from over-full sinuses gives me a rather hideous headache.
And, just to round the whole thing out, I have messed-up neck muscles, which are sore on a constant basis. YAY ME.
Neurofen (Ibuprofen) works, panadol doesn't really, and if it gets really bad, I have to take Neurofen Plus. It's frustrating at the moment because we're changing seasons and so my allergies are playing up, despite the injections. WOE.
I deal with this on a daily basis, so you can imagine I get irritated.
So yes. More than you ever wanted to know.

*huggles* Are you going to an ENT?

I would, but it's frustratingly expensive. Woe.
