We're using a humidifier, saline solution for the nose, meds, and he does prop his head up. I think this issue is just starting to get worse--up till now, it's always been pretty managable.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

YAY, now that I have a new computer, I can get the pictures out of my camera! And onto Teh Intarwebs!!
Like this one, which some of y'all might appreciate: Ladies in Corsets (sadly a little dark, as it was taken backstage, but...three of us from DC all fans of the corset, much like some buffistas. What you can't see because of the dark is that my corset is PINSTRIPED!)

Well, I'm glad he is seeing a doctor soon. Sounds like you are doing every thing that can keep him going until then.

I have a question! For west-coast-y/overnight/tomorrow discussion:
Who has an IUD and would like to talk about it? I have an appointment to get one installed (I know that's not the right verb, but it makes me laugh) tomorrow afternoon. Should I expect it to hurt like hell? I'm not going back to work afterwards, so I can curl up with a heating pad if need be. But -- what should I expect? In terms of having it put in, as well as after (both short-term and down the road -- like, side effect, particuarly weight gain)? It's the Mirena, for the record. (Also, I've never had a kid, just in case anyone thought I was hiding a shady past. I know that not having had a child can make it more painful when the IUD is installed.)
The society for responsible recreational sex thanks you.
(Christ, the things I'll talk about online. Hi, mom.)

He's been taking various sinus meds. That with steam seems to help in the short term.
Fwiw, make sure he's taking the behind-the-counter meds with pseudoephedrine. That new stuff they're using in the sinus meds on the shelf does nothing for me.
I should make my list of first impressions, too. So many good first impressions of you all. Mostly, though, "HOME! ONE OF US!"

Teppy, I have a Mirena and I love it. I won't lie--there was definitely pain when it was being placed. But it wasn't any worse than my regular monthly cramps and the usual stuff (Motrin, heat) took care of it. I was doing activities as usual later that day.
And I don't get my period anymore! At all! It's been three years! It's the best thing ever! I can't stop using exclamation points!

Cool -- that's the kind of pain I'm expecting. Would it help, do you think, if I took ibuprofen about an hour before the procedure?

Really? Damn, that's good to know!

I've had a kid, and it hurt like a motherfucker for the first 30 minutes or so, but was down to mildly crampy by the time I got home, and even that pretty much vanished within 48 hours. I had some spotting for a bit, but since then, close to nothing.
Take the ibuprofen first. I think I forgot to.
