Hi guys im having a moan again. Last week 8 days ago i came down with a dreadful cold, that put me on the sofa. I had to take two weeks off college and four sessions off karate!

But it seems as though i may need more time to recover. Recently i have noticed i can't bend down without getting awful pain in the back of my head, eyes and nose. It's getting the point that i cant even get up out of a chair without the pain. I can't cough or sneeze or sniffle without it coming. I am also bringing up bright green phlem eewww

I feel horrible! So anyway i am going to see my gp today at the emergency doctors because i have been told i may have sinusitus brought on by the cold i had. I hate being ill, i sat a history exam the other day and did really rubbish because i couldn't concentrate and now it looks like i will have to take next week off karate too!

Poor you! I know what it's like to be out of training. Due to moving for university I haven't been able to formally train since July! I think I'm going crazy!

I hope you feel better!

Wow that sucks. Must be real fustrating. I hope you get well soon.

Cheers guys. Well it turns out i do have sinusitus but the doc said they don't treat it, we just have to let it run its course! I wasn't very impressed because the doctors surgery is miles from where i live and i had to go on the bus even though i was feeling so lousy....only to be told to take paracetamol! They could have told me this over the phone rather than asking me to go in.

Yeah, but advice over the phone doesn't pay the bills! I hate getting the "clinical" treatment, which goes something like this:

"Oh, your sick?"

"Yes"

"Well, take this antibiotic and that'll clear everything up. Next, please!"

I feel ya- I was out all this week first due to pulling my quads- followed by my tonsils getting infected....dark times

I hope you get better soon, Kerry. I have a hamstring issue that is putting the hurt on me and my training. Tough it out, and you'll be back in no time.

Get Sudofed its good stuff fixed me when i had sinusitus

gets it all out

Have been told that if "its" bright green then the only way it can be treated is by anti-biotics. I've had this in the past and I insisted that my doctor did something to get rid of it!

If all else fails you need a good decongestant like Sudafed.

Hope it clears up quickly!

I know what you mean about the doctors - I waited 2 hrs earlier today (despite having an appointment) because the dr was overrunning, only to be told I was fine and they don't need to see me!!! Now that they they could have told me over the phone!
