It that case, it could definitely be sinus. In addition to Teppy's remedies, try breathing steam and lying down with a hot washcloth on your face.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I'm such a schmoop. I had TLC on in the background and Perfect Proposal was on. The guy was an animator who made a cartoon proposing to his GF.
So. Damn. Cute.

K, it wasn't double-post schmoopy.

Yup, and you can do this without consulting your doctor (i.e., if it's something else, like a migraine, a hot washcloth won't cause any adverse effects, but sinus meds can constrict your blood vessels and might make a migraine worse).

Hmm. I've never had a migraine in my life.
I'm eating a banana and a carton of yogurt, and drinking a big glass of water, just to feel like I'm doing something.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
it seems more concentrated around my forehead, cheekbones, and nose--could it be sinuses even if I'm not experiencing any congestion?
That def. sounds like sinus. Teppy is wise. Follow her directions.
With calcium, the numbness/tingling typically happens around your mouth. (I am hypoparathyroid and I take 2000mg of calcium every day because of my whacked calcium, that's why I know the signs. I can tell if I've skipped some pills because my face starts tingling. If I take a couple of calcium pills, it goes away.)

Susan, read this Q&A -- though you don't have all the symptoms this woman has (she has facial numbness as well as an earache and a tingling tongue), it sounds like your symptoms: [link]

Thanks, Teppy.
Off to take a quick shower, 'cuz unless my doctor wants me to rush in right away, I have physical therapy for my back at 10:30. Kinda hard to even think about that anymore.

Mostly lurking...
Ok...we've gotta work out something for me to be able to go to the bathroom. Once again, there is no one in the office...there hasn't been for about a half hour. And, of course, my boss is out running errands, so I can't call and ask her to come down. Craziness!
ETA: Oh, Trudy...I'm sorry this isn't working out the way you had hoped.
