Apparently, my migraines, which have lasted 2.5 weeks were caused by sinusitis (when your sinuses are filled with pus). According to my doc, because of the symptoms I exhibited (blurred vision, altered consciousness, extreme headaches, a seizure, and extreme nausea), I was real close to probably contracting meningitis or going into a coma or death.

I'm now on a mix of nasal sprays, glucosteroids, antibiotics, and vicodin for the head pain. The vicodin makes me fill loopy. Remember kids, when you feel you need to go to the hospital, just go. With that said, heres a widebody R35

glad you're on the mend . I've been in the hospital with my son for the past week , so I feel for ya . In addition , my father died of meningitis at a young age , so I think you dodged a big bullet there.

Glad to hear they caught it in time. I learned the hard way as well. If it seems broke, go get it fixed.

Glad you caught it early enough. I had viral meningitis right after my son was born. Pain you can't describe and nothing dulls it. I was lucky and only spent 3 days in ICU. Sucks ass...

Ouch I feel for you. I grew with numerous bouts of sinusitis every year as a kid. Between my sinus and cat/dust/grass allergies I was a perpetual bag of snot up into my 30s when I discovered the neti pot. If you have sinus/allergy issues, I cannot recommend one enough. After a few years of using it on and off when I need to, I've finally gotten them under control. Highly recommend getting one.

almost every comment in this thread has 'Glad' in it.

Glad to know you're all good now though.
