Ow!

I woke up at 5am with a headache from hell and it hasn't gone away. I'm trying to work out if it's my sinuses or not. The headache seems to be worse if I bend down and it hurts when I sneeze too.

Might need to pick up some Sinutab on the way home. I've taken some Ibuprofen and that doesn't seem to have done a great deal

Of course this would happen right before the weekend

You need some salt and boiling water - a mug full will do. Sniff the salted water vapour up each nostril separately by pinching the other on closed. You should eventually feel a shift in your sinuses. Repeat for both nostrils.

I gave this tip to my friend who woke with a sinus headache yesterday and it worked for her a treat. Good luck!

OOH! I'll give that a go! I'm at work at the moment but I'll try it when I get home

Thanks!

Did you get my e mail about the hotel btw?

Maybe at lunchtime you'll be able to rustle up a salt sachet from somewhere.

Nope, haven't had an email from you. Is a bit confused about reference to a hotel.

Oh! Maybe I sent it to the wrong addy. Are you justsue2005@yahoo.co.uk?

Anyway, here is what it said to save messing around

Hi Sue

I'm not sure how far the planning for next years writerconuk has gone but if you haven't already got a venue I've got a potential one here

http://www.village-hotels.co.uk/hotels/coventry/

I stayed here a couple of days ago. It's reasonably priced, has free wi-fi in all the rooms and in the conference rooms, has a pool and a gym and is in the midlands

Let me know what you think. If you've already booked somewhere then just ignore me. LOL

How odd! The addy is correct but I didn't get.

Thanks for that, Hils. Location not yet decided (we'll be having a poll shortly) but good to have a personal rec for a possible venue. Cheers!

No probs!

I'd better re-join the comm for the polls and stuff. Hehe!

That sucks!!! Are you feeling better?

[identity profile] hils.livejournal.com 2008-11-07 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Sadly not. I'm thinking now it might be a mild migraine. Painful but not bad enough to go home from work

That sucks! I hope it does away!

[identity profile] hils.livejournal.com 2008-11-07 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm hoping I'll be ok tomorrow :)
