Childhood cancer survivor. That's the good news. Bad news? Chemo and radiation zapped my eggs leaving me infertile. Egg donors were found, several attempts were made and finally we were blessed with beautiful twin girls - born too early (21 wks, 5 days on Dec. 5, 2008). Hang out with me while we savor life with Big Baby Boy, who arrived via gestational surrogate on March 25, 2013.

Figures
Doesn't it just figure. Just days after the "now don't take any meds without asking, especially antihistamines" talk with Nurse, my nose starts running like a faucet, my face swells and my teeth ache. Sinus infection? Great.
I've spent the day walking around with a roll of TP in hand, pieces of it shoved up my nostrils like some hideous face tampons because seriously, its that bad. The minute I stop blowing, drips of snot litter my path. Gross. I know.
I know I can take advil or tylenol or aleve, but I can't remember which one. I have an email into Nurse. In the meantime, any advice?
Update: a steaming hot shower helps. Definitely helps.

I just had that same conversation with my RE. You can take Tylenol. That's the only one of the 3 you can have. I'm betting you can get confirmation on that from Dr. Google. :)
Tylenol is the one to take. They don't like you taking anti-inflammatories (Advil, Aleve, etc.) because it can mess with your lining.
I saw your comment at Millie's and followed you over here. My DH is a childhood cancer survivor- my blog is password-protected, but if you email me, I'm happy to give you access. Sounds like we may have a lot in common.
I woke up at 4:00 this morning with the mucus factory cranked on high. By 6:00, the floor was littered with used Kleenex. Gross? Yeah, you and me both, lady! Just love allergy season! Hang in there!
