Ughhh... Girls. Are any of you having bad allergies or a cold or something? The past few days I have started to feel congested, and just not too good. It wasn't bad and I thought it was probably just from pregnancy, since I've been congested a lot. Then yesterday it got worse. My throat hurt, my head hurt, and I felt like crap! Then as the day went on, it kept getting worse. I feel like I have a sinus infection, my throat feels like its swelling shut. Basically my whole head and face feel like someone just hit me with a bat or something!! I couldn't sleep all night cause I was in too much pain. I took a tylenol at about 5am, and it helped a little but not much. UGH... I need to go get allergy medicine, but honestly dont want to move.

I have finally, since the past 8 months, experienced a pain that takes my mind off of pregnancy pains!

Sorry for the rant... Are any of you girls having this? California girls, (if you have allergies) are they worse right now? I heard that they are bad right now, but mine usually dont get like this. I've only had a sinus infection one other time, and I already had the flu when I got it.

Eek. Sounds like I'm in the same boat as you. I'm pretty certain I've got a sinus infection and it SUCKS!

I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks! I cant stand these! I'm hoping my mom will come by and give me an allergy pill, I really dont think I can move to go get anything. Off to take a bubble bath...

That's how I felt last week and then I started with a headache again last night. It's been 14 hours with it now. My congestion is worse today than it was the last couple of days too. I think mine now is allergies, it's really bad right now and supposed to get worse until Monday!

Ugh Guess I'm not the only one in the bay area with bad allergies. I just feel so miserable, even a hott bubble bath didn't help. My ob said it was fine to take Zyrtec, so I'm waiting for my mom to bring me some since she has plenty at home. I think I'll try taking a nap, since I almost fell asleep in the bath anyway. Hope you feel better Holly!

Hope you feel better soon! I just get horrible eye allergies where my eyes burn =/

BB do you have peppermint oil? If not, you can get it at Whole Foods or a health food store, get some and put ONE DROP, no more or you'll burn your mouth, on your tongue, it will clear up your sinuses. I also put 3-4 drops in my bath, it takes care of the congestion and the muscle aches.

Ooh Holly I'll have to try that. I dont have peppermint oil, I'll have to go get some today. For now tho, I do have Candy Cane bubble bath from Philosophy, and it smells quite strong lol. Maybe that will help a little, and its an excuse to go take another bubble bath! I cant sleep like this, I've been up since 4am!

That candy cane stuff will probably help some. The peppermint oil is VERY strong though, so it will really help. Like I said, don't use more than one drop if taking it orally. I usually put the drop on the back of my hand and lick it so I make sure not to get too much.

Hope you feel better soon! That's exactly how I felt last week!

I hope you start feeling better soon!
