Wednesday, April 13th

 8:00 AM -  Took 12-hour Sudafed and nasal steroids.   Did a saline nasal rinse.
 9:00 AM - One fried egg, one (6 oz.) strawberry yogurt, and one slice of Friendship bread (BAD.  REALLY BAD!!  That was bread that was loaded with sugar!!)
 1:00 PM - a few bites of cottage cheese, a few pieces of grilled chicken dipped in hummus, and 2 fudgesicles   (I didn't feel really hungry.)
 2:15 PM -  fudgesicle (sugar free)

By 2:30, I felt completely EXHAUSTED!!!!!  I was thinking about going home, but then realized it was because of my sinus issues because I felt a bit dizzy and felt pressure in my head behind my eyes.   I knew I needed to look up doctors' names and find out if they were covered by my insurance.    Around 4:30 I began to feel drainage down the back of my throat (well behind my nose, not yet to my throat) on the left side.   I called Mom and she said maybe the Sudafed is working to unplug my sinuses and that's a good thing.   I will still pursue an ENT since I've been dealing with this since October and I always get better temporarily, but when I stop the meds, the bad headaches and dizziness (vertigo) return.    I also want to know if the polyps I had in December on my left side (found by X-ray) have gone away or not.

8:30 PM - 2 dill pickles, some cheese (not lowfat, tasted like cottage chz, but not as moist), and 6 oz. of yogurt

Went to bed around 11PM.
