Feel kinda frustrated and guilty lately as not been able to do many things such as protesting and demonstrating especially as things are hotting up politically. I have missed a couple of demos including the student protests, visiting occupations and anti-war one. Missed so many photo opportunities and ability to protest, being part of the resistance and showing solidarity. The reason is for the past month I have been experiencing severe sinus infection in the left side of my face, my face literally hurts due to this. It’s not improved instead it has got worse.
Have suffered sinus in the past and after a couple of days goes but this time unbelievably it is lurking around and taking residence in my sinus. So I feel guilty and frustrated feeling left behind and not being able to get out there to demonstrate, visit occupations and so on. I take each day as it comes as I can’t plan. I have tried everything from steam, Olbas Oil, over-the-counter meds and the GP has prescribed me with different kinds of antibiotics (if none work he is going to send me to an ear, nose and throat specialist), the latest ones are kinda strong as I feel washed out and drained, want to sleep all the time, combined with the depression it’s horrible.
So I hope to get back into the swing of activism soon (am very frustrated at the moment) as I do want to be back to normal (whatever that means…..)
get well soon!
Thanks comrade!!
Coming to the conclusion it is never going to go and will always have blocked sinuses on the left side of my face. Be nice to breathe again through my nose again as well!!
I wouldn’t worry; I haven’t seen any sign of the movement losing momentum. Could be a few years yet.
Get well soon.
Jon
Thanks Jon
Get well soon!!
I think Jon is right… this is just the start. The problem is everyone needs to make sure when pressure is applied, that it doesn’t ease off. So far the protests have been brilliant. Some isolated trouble but just adds to the effect I think. The best tool other than solidarity by the large protests themselves is people following Dave and Clegg around so they can’t escape the pressure. It will only be a matter of time…
Some unions and groups have given it 6 months… I would like them defeated in 3 months.
Get well soon, Harpy Marx. Better just rest and try not to do anything, no matter how tempting!
Cheers comrade, I know esp. with this cold snap!!
Might have a protest for you… will keep you updated.
Be interested…..
Just wanted to add my best wishes for a quick recovery to those above! Hope you’re back in time to help with the barricades ;o)
BTW, various concoctions made by Potters for cattarh, coughs, colds etc. tend to be pretty effective (usually sold in Holland & Barrett shops). And there are pastilles you can buy in a little red box (not sure of the make) which include creosote (really!) in the ingredients – they’ll shift most things. I took them at work once and they’re so powerful that a co-worker actually complained to management about the toxic smell!!!
