Sinusitis is evil
So ever since I came to Jamaica my allergies have bothered me. Usually I take some medication and it's fine (or at least at a level I can deal with), but it seems like at least once a month it gets worse and I end up with sinusitis (at least for the past few months it seems like it is once a month). While I wasn't feeling stellar the past few days I didn't think much of it. Took my Allegra and got on with my life. However this morning I woke up feeling achy, stuffy, and generally miserable. So rather than go to a one of the outlying health clinics and give a presentation like I was supposed to to, I ended up at the doctors office. After confirming my suspicions that I once again have sinusitis, he wrote me a prescription for a different sinus medicine and some cough syrup. So now I'm back at home after picking up a few groceries (juice, jello, soup, all those nice comforting foods that feel good against a sore throat). Hopefully I won't need anything for a few days since most of the shops will only be open for limited hours (if at all) this weekend. Apparently *everything* closes for Easter around here. I'm off to rest for a bit.
