I either needed to 1) just complain about it or 2) take antibiotics even though they arent supposed to work. They worked and I am back to being myself. 14 months ago

So Ive been sick for two weeks now, when, I awoke with a really bad sinus headache. My nose started running a few hours after I awoke and didn’t stop for days. I went through the last 6 rolls of tp we had in 4 days blowing and blowing my nose. Then I went through a 12 pack. I tried benedryl, sudafed, mucinex, NyQuil, dayquil, saline spray, sinus wash (homemeade neti pot). Nothing. Went through another 6 rolls, had to change to softer paper, and since Monday Ive gone through 4 more. Ive gone from having a horrible headache, to a runny nose, to another headache. It seems that if I use meds then I can fall asleep, but then wake-up with a hell of a sinus headache or if I don’t take anything I cant sleep because my nose wont stop running. It isnt an allergy, it doesnt seem to be moving into my chest. They have put me on antibiotics just in case. This morning I awoke with the most swollen, sore throat I have had in a long, long time. It was so swollen it was hard to breathe. Then my nose went from stuffy to running and didn’t stop. I went through 2 rolls of tp today. Ive been drinking as much broth as I possible can. Ive missed almost 2 weeks of work because I am so stuffy I get short of breath. The doctor has no idea what is causing it or what else I can do to make it go away, other than rest. I’m supposed to be looking for a job, I’m supposed to be writing my dissertation, I’m supposed to be finishing experiments at work. All I want to do is sleep. And now my skin is so raw that it stings when I wash my face. 14 months ago
