Well, that was weird.
I was having a solid sinus headache. Took a couple of daytime cold tablets, and after half an hour or so, could function again.
Next afternoon, same thing. Took a couple of tablets, and it went away.
It came back that night, so, being careful, I took one nighttime cold tablet, and could sleep.
Next morning, however, there was no pain, but my head was all buzzy, and I was feeling a bit dizzy. There is obviously something in the nighttime tablets that my head doesn't like.
Anyway, all is well now.

Step 1: Turn on watch, if it's not on
Step 2: Open watch app on iPhone and choose pair
Step 3: Point camera at watch face when advised and let it pair.
If all that fails, look on Apple's support for help with a reset.
It's 25C in my room, 77F, and it's a bit too warm for my liking. However, it is what it is.
What's on my mind? Randomly?
What will I say tomorrow in therapy? Do I need to follow up with my doctor regarding having Covid? Why isn't my SO really talking to me, is he upset? Should I go to bed?
What do I want to be doing? Have that inspirational energy to make a PoC App... well 2 of them. One like Penly for Android, and the other a CMS-esque system
watch works great~
I just can't find a message board to anything on MacRumors® pertaining to watches
this is why you rule and are a moderator!
Here you go.
I had the forum block, keep things simple!
since I just purchased an watch 2 weeks ago
thank you very much!
Congrats! When I used to date, I noticed it was the second that was a pain. I think there was always at least a third if there was a second.Crazy looking back on this post from July 2020, I'm still with her and we are talking about marriage.
Hope everyone on MR is doing well
I've had serious sinus issues on and off since I was a teenager; however, in recent years, (i.e. over the past twenty years), I have discovered that keeping well hydrated (plenty of water) works well on helping to alleviate those symptoms.
A couple of years ago we had a series of bushfires in the area that went on for over a month. We were breathing smoke for all that time. Many people, including me, ended up having long term consequences. We had a couple of hazard-reduction burns nearby a few days ago, and that's what woke it up.
I am going to have to move to either a rainforest or a desert to get away from fires.
I think we forget to hydrate, well I do, sufficiently during the winter because of the temperature. Easy to feel the need to drink during the summer but when it's cold out not so much. No need to drink cold water but there are lots of warm drinks or even warm flavoured water if you wish to help. Not hot chocolate or mulled wine though much as I love those two drinks. In my case I suffer from dry skin and eczema which is exacerbated in cold weather and also makes me feel the cold more.
I do too. In recent years I've started using a cream called Epaderm (by Mölnlycke). Comes in two sorts - a pump with a more liquid formula and a tub the contents of which are more like Vaseline in texture. I use the pump stuff in summer and the tub in winter which really helps. The tub stuff seems more like a barrier cream. It's the best cream I've come across for eczema and isn't expensive - a bit more than a tenner for a big pot that lasts for ages. Might be worth a try if you come across some.
Oh my I am pissed. Pissed. Very pissed. Not because of one side, but because of the other side getting back something like that. Enough said.
Better go drink some coffee.

Cryptic, but if it is political or personal perhaps that's best. I hope you feel better after the coffee. I usually do!
0 to –7 °C here and snowy too. But wait there's a thread for cold weather, but it seems to be mostly Alaskans who post there. We other who experience cold at much lesser degrees can post our dismays here too 🥶
WATER; lots of water - I prefer my water a bit lower in cold than room temperature, but not too much, are best drinking degree. I wary between 2 and 4 liter, always at least 2, plus espresso, kombucha and other warmer teas occasionally. Spice tea is great in winters.
Enjoying a wonderful Espresso here, before yoga ☕ 🧘🏼♀️ 😅
Agreed.
In fact, I only learned this during my second EOM (Election Observation Mission) in Bosnia, in November, 1997, when my superior (who was a highly decorated ex-paratrooper), stressed the importance of consuming sufficient quantities (volumes?) of water - he recommended two litres a day, - especially during winter when you might not feel the need to keep hydrated.
I was astonished, but have (to a large extent) heeded his advice ever since.
And - and I doubt that this is a coincidence - my sinuses have rarely troubled me to quite the same extent, since. In fact, whenever I get a bout of sinus troubles, I realise that I have (inadvertently) cut back on water, and simply consume more water, preferably mineral water.
A glass of water nearby while I am working on the computer; a glass while I am sipping coffee; a glass - always - beside my bed.
Now, this doesn't cure sensitive or troublesome sinuses, but it does alleviate and ameliorate the agony they can cause; another recommendation of mine is to (always) have some Olbas Oil to hand; a few drops on a pillow, or on a tissue (and inhale) also ease symptoms.

I rarely drink water. Even in summer. Maybe 4-5 glasses a year. Tea on the other hand……
I love water. Other than coffee (black, no sugar), that’s basically the only thing I drink. Sometimes I make tea (herbal or earl gray) and very rarely I have a soda. I do drink beer, but it’s a rare treat, usually once a month and it’s usually a good and expensive one (Westmalle, Chimay, Fin du Monde).
I love carbonated water but 75% of the times I just drink it still. One surprising thing is that in the morning I can’t drink cold or room temperature water. It just makes me gag. I recently found a solution to combat night dehydration: boiling hot water with a squirt of lemon juice.

Room temperature water (preferably sparkling mineral water), is fine for me (above all, naturally enough, in summer), but this does depend very much on what the temperature in a given room actually is, which makes (and yes, I have noticed that this has happened this very week, with the precipitate drop in temperatures) sipping water at "room temperature" in winter (especially first thing in the morning when you stretch a hand out, hoping to reach for a glass of water from the depths of a warm bed to a cold room) something of a disagreeable challenge.
One can address this by heating the glass first; I already do that to my cup/mug when preparing tea or coffee.
yep, after reading years ago that you do this (possibly our first conversation on this forum?) I started doing this and found it a brilliant habit. That is, you changed the universe.
My pleasure.
Anyway, - especially in winter - heating the cup/mug in advance ensures that the coffee/tea you drink - yes, even the first sip - is actually hot, rather than lukewarm or tepid, which is what would otherwise occur (the cold cup cooling the warm liquid).
In truth, it doesn't matter quite as much in summer, but I have become used to heating my cup/mug automatically in advance of coffee or tea preparation, so now - irrespective of the season - I do it all of the time.
I grew up on rainwater tank water. It rained, the water ran off the tin roof, down the gutters, into large rainwater tanks. It was 'filtered' through fly wire mesh, so it kept out the larger pieces of dead leaves, dead frogs, etc.
It resulted in developing a robust intestinal system.
