After 2 Claritin D's (doctor approved) a little Tylenol and my first 2 pill dose on a Z-pak, I can finally lift my head long enough to say hello.
I was slammed with a sinus infection this week, the likes of which I have never experienced in my life. My concern for the baby's well being as far as avoiding OTC or other drugs flew out of the window this morning when I literally sat in my car with my son sitting next to me and just bawled my eyes out over the sickness and misery of it.
I haven't experienced illness like this in probably a decade. It was absolutely unbearable. While I know that the Z-pak hasn't worked that quickly, I'm pretty sure that it's the Claritin D that is allowing me a short reprieve from drowning in my own snot.
I've lost a total of 4 pounds so far from just not being able to taste or stomach hardly anything. My stomach has remained full and satiated on my own dripping mucus and I still keep having to force myself to remember, oh shit, I'm pregnant, perhaps I should eat something.
And of course it happens in the week that the house is being painted, the a/c went on the fritz and my husband is working until 9:00pm every night for his company's end of fiscal year...of course, I mean, why not, right?
So it was a shit week to say the least. I've vowed to obey doctor's orders and remain in bed, or in the vicinity of bed for the entire weekend so that hopefully I can return to normal by Monday. Luke is a bit tired of Lunchables and pizza rolls here.
Good health to you, sorry I've been negative nelly lately and hopefully next week will bring better things to write about.

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time of it. Chin up! Soon you'll be holding your baby in your arms, and this will all be a faint memory. :-)
