Last year I got a bad one during a weekend when we flew to Syracuse for my wife's grandmother's 90th birthday. If you think sinus infections are bad on the ground, try one in a fucking airplane with pressure changes. I felt like ass all weekend, and the only thing that made the pain go away was standing in the shower with the water as hot as I could stand it blasting me right in the forehead. No getting comfortable, no getting sleep, just burning, painful pressure. It was bad enough that the over-the-counter stuff barely even put a dent in it. At least my wife's family was cool about it and didn't give me any grief about skipping all the festivities - I just hid in the hotel. I have a reasonably high pain threshold, but bad sinus infections just knock my dick in the dirt.
Then, on the way back, the flight was delayed because of shitty weather in Chicago. We sat on the tarmak for 3 1/2 hours before taking off, and there was a screaming brat two rows behind me. THEN the plane had to return to the gate to refuel. THEN the joy of the flight itself. God, what a horrible weekend that was. ![]() |

Sorry to hear that... but as a pilot, I would advise not flying with a sinus infection.... The Cabin is only pressurized to 8000 ft... IF there was a rapid decompression, you would of probably, no actually your inner ears would of ruptured.... Any problem with the pressurazation system and you could of experienced some extreme pain... Damn Pilots, they were probably at the bar trying to pay their bar tab before the flight... |

Delays for good reasons like maintenance problems are understandable but this just seems like an orgy of stupidity. |

Which is why I always try and keep a narcotic pill or two stashed away for rainy days like this one....when I had my stones they loaded me up with Oxycodone and Hydromorphone you bet you sweet nipple ring I put a few of those suckers away for "pain emergencies" |
