In the interests of complete transparency, I bring you..... *drumroll please*...............
A Neti Pot!
I have been absolutely miserable lately with my sinuses. Claritin? check
NO it did not help
Advil and Tylenol?
check
Sort of. It barely touched the head pain.
Rest?
check
It at least put me out of my misery for a while.
Knitting and spinning?
check
But it just wasn't the same, you know? When you are in a light green h**l
So, I was whining about it to a friend of mine. (She is in her 60's and has kids my age who are far away. Couple her with a gal whose mom is absent, and you have a GREAT combo. She, needing a kid and grandkids, and me.... need a local type mom.) She told me of her secret weapon, the neti pot. She explained the mechanics and I was promptly disgusted. HOWEVER! I am desperate enough to try anything!
Folks. I won't lie to you. Nasty. BUT!!!! What a relief. Temporary yes. But, after I applied the simple physics, my headache was IMMEDIATELY gone.
I felt well enough to jump back into The Bee Fields shawl. It has been 4 months since I last knit that. Handspun alpaca (mine, of course). I got so sick of spinning it that when it came to knitting, I couldn't take it anymore. Hence, it was snoozing. Now, I AM LOVING IT! It is like a fresh new project. (No, pic as camera is in Costa Rica with DH, AND, I have recently had to wipe my harddrive and lost all my pictures)

Is this really necessary?

Hmmm....I was looking at one the other night and wondering if I were that desperate?
Haven't been desperate enough to use a Neti yet. Just the thought of water in my nose brings me to tears. I have many friends who swear by them so I hope that it works its magic on you.
