Spring has sprung, since the change in the weather I once again am sick. It hurts to breathe. My body aches worse, My head is so congested I feel as if it's in a vice. Breathing is almost impossible.And the fun part is sinus drainage The only thing that helps is hot bathes. But you can't sit in a hot tub all day. Although it would be nice.

Alright that's enough don't want to bore anyone.

I am so sorry that you're not feeling well The 'head in a vice' feeling is something I can definitely identify with.

I hope you are feeling better soon!

Unfortunately, it is definely the season for it. Are you on any allergy medications? Sorry if that sounds stupid, but it was the only thing I could think of that could help you other than respiratory medications. Maybe, you could see a Respiratory Doctor. With the difficulty of fibro factored in it probably wouldn't hurt to have some respiratory meds like inhalers to decrease the work of breathing if you don't already have them. You could even get them from your regular doctor, if you ask. Do you have Asthma. My daughter has asthma and she has trouble every April and October. Just a thought ---trying to help. Hope you feel better soon.

Yes, allergy season is upon us. I do hope you get some relief soon. I use stuff like Nasonex, get samples from the doctor. I'm afraid to take the decongestants with all the other pills I take.

Can your doctor maybe give you some samples or suggest something over the counter in generic version that you could take. I only say generic because they cost so much less.

Feel better soon.
