Your friendly neighborhood Vinyl Ape’s recent dance with the hideous bitch goddess of illness continues.

Turns out, for the past 5 days, I’ve had a brutal case of pneumonia, with the extra bonus caveat of a sinus infection.

And as an added bonus, both my wife and son have started to take on some of my symptoms.

Lucky for them, we’ve gotten ahead of it and they are now on the proper medication, as am I.

Doctor: “Push! Push! You’re almost there, I see the head! One last big push! Here we go!”

The being then starts to cough, hack phlegm and snot everywhere, vomit, shake…

Doctor: “Congratulations! It’s a pneumonia!”

Kill me now.

Thank you to everyone who answered my Mac word processor questions, and to the tech wiz WhatsApp group for being so helpful. I’ve decided on Pages. It is accessible, easy to use, and works well with my Word documents. Motivation was hard today. I am still sick with this sinus infection that refuses to let go. Lack of sleep and feeling unwell have made it tough. #Blind #VoiceOver #Mac #AccessibleTech #SinusInfection

I had a fairly quiet day today. Still recovering from this sinus infection, so I mostly rested. Managed a little study, which felt good. Spent some time pondering things I won’t go into here. Ended the day listening to The Mushroom Case daily podcast.

Sitting here in this chair, contemplating that empty space on the floor.

All I can think about is how much I want to pitch forward, out of the chair, and into fetal ball on the floor.

Science: "Let's inject robot swarms into people's noses!" Also Science: "Then they blow them into tissues!" 🤖

These dust-sized magnetic bots could revolutionize sinus infection treatment - guided by electromagnets, heated by light, and designed to reduce our antibiotic dependence. The future is wonderfully weird! ✨

Imagine this: you’re relaxing at home, maybe reading a book, and suddenly… a whiff of something burning. Like toast left too long in the toaster. You jump up, check the kitchen. Nothing. #COVID19smellloss #nasalpolyps #NeurologicalDisorders #olfactoryhallucinations #phantomsmells #phantosmia #SinusInfection

Ever wonder why your stuffy nose won’t clear up, even after weeks? That nagging pressure around your eyes or cheeks might not be a simple cold. #NasalCongestion #SinusInfection #SinusInfectionTreatment #SinusPressure #sinusitis #SinusitisCauses #SinusitisSymptoms

Been under the weather with this sinus infection. Can’t sleep at night… it’s like I’m fine during day, then my body knows it’s time to sleep and say, “oh fatboy wants to sleep? We don’t think so. Let’s make sure he’s coughing & fuck with this air supply’. Doctor Aapt Monday 1230p 👽 #sinusinfection

Back from vacation. Got a souvenir sinus infection with a side of hives. ⛰️ ☀️

When I catch a cold, I will most likely also end up with a raging, painful sinus infection that only a 10-day course of antibiotics will kick. Even then, I might relapse & end up sick for a total of 6 weeks.

It's a BUMMER.

#DeviatedSeptum doesn't help.

So I'm always curious about preventatives, hence my question about #ProvidoneIodine #NasalSpray.

Anybody know anything about povidone iodine nasal spray as a treatment for #ChronicSinustitis?
Asking for a me. 😁

My chronic sinusitis mainly manifests as constant slight congestion & post-nasal drip. 9 times out of 10 when I catch a cold, the increased fluid build-up makes me susceptible to a bacterial infection....

1. My sinus headache is finally gone after four days and two days of prescription meds plus three days off work.

2. I binge watched 6 seasons of #Station19 and can't wait for more.

#3. May have mentioned this before, but my doggo is finally settled on a (good) DRY dog food only. No more wet food.

Treatments vary depending on whether it’s viral or bacterial; for viruses, antibiotics are not effective but medications to reduce inflammation might be used whereas if bacterial then antibiotics would need to be prescribed.

Well, good news. I just took a Covid at home test, and it came back negative! This upper respiratory infection is just a cold or bronchitis, with a probable secondary sinus infection. I'll take that any day over another bout with Covid. 🎉

Guess it's a sinus infection. Yes, mucus color means something. So, let's see. This started originally around August 25. That's 12 days ago. But green mucus made its appearance today. So do I give it another week or two?

"Green mucus
Your immune system is really fighting back and your mucus is thick with dead white blood cells. If you’re still sick after about 10-12 days, you may want to see a doctor."

Treatment may include antibiotics to fight off bacterial infections or topical decongestants to reduce inflammation in the affected area.

Took some #Mucinex after a hot shower. Feeling awful still. Drove the partner to pick up some prescriptions and then to get some items from Walmart. I'm really snippy and mean lately, he says... It's actually true. 😥

Maybe it's the #withdrawal, maybe it's the #COVID / #sinusinfection / #cough / #fever. Maybe it's the lack of financial security and savings. I worry I might just be a #mean person to people I live with, and he is too timid to stand up for himself or realize he deserves better. 😮‍💨 Hoping I can fall asleep before the #depression establishes itself. 😖

Having a week+ cold, sinus infection, and bronchitis is not cool, man. NOT COOL!!! I demand a refund on the last week. COME ON! #sick #cold #sinus #sinusinfection #sinuses #bronchitis #coughing
