I don't puke, I just get queasy and lose my appetite. I don't drink milk
either, but I eat yogurt sometimes and cheese.

All of these posts are making me feel even queasier! yuck!

BTW, I am down 2 more lbs (thanks to the appetite suppressant in snot!) I
only took a week off from gym and started working out again last night.

Since the 162 I have lost about 15 pounds, but I'm sure the oatmeal
helped, as well as reducing red meat intake. I don't eat much of it
anyway.

Yeah, the Biactin is prescription. Probably helps to explain my
fatigue lately too.

I put brown sugar, a little cinnamon and sometimes a handful of raisins
in mine.

Ahhhhh the 2nd benefit (next to loss of appetite) of having sinus issues!

Not to outdo anybody, but I've had sinuses from hell since I was 8.
I still have trouble with 8's and 9's in multiplication tables
because I missed those two weeks in school.

There was a show on TLC a while back where some explorers went into
these caves and discover a slimy gel-like bacteria that hung from
the cave walls. They named them "Snot-tites." I'm not making this
up.

Probably also reducing your sense of smell. Usually after I flush my
sinuses, the first thing I realize that the cat-box needs changing.

That's is wild because I had the exact same thing happen to me. I missed so
much school because of my sinus infections. I still have such drainage
that accumulates in my stomach and nothing will stop it. You can't outdo
me!

Oh yeah... I can tell you that's not far off the mark.

My sister and I had to stay out of school for 2-3 weeks at a
time when we were sick, because we had to "recover" for a
week after we felt well.

Those were the days when penicillin was given via a huge
needle in the butt - the polio vaccine was brand new (& it
left a scar on your arm) and the Hong Kong flu was something
to beware of because there was no vaccine to date.
Tuberculosis and small pox hadn't been contained at that
point either and of course we still feared leprosy. It's
hard to believe what a short time ago it was in the whole
scheme of things!

To put it all into perspective, my grandparents were born
before automobiles were invented and died after they sent a
man to the moon.

IMO: That's REALLY witnessing progress in your lifetime!
