Could you do a sneezy/sick Mingi from Ateez where he tries to hide his illness cause he 'doesn't want to be a burden' to his members but eventually after some tension at dance practice he falls apart and the members comfort their emotional, feverish and sneezy princess mingi🤣🥰

Acting weird— er than normal

Sickie: Mingi

Caretakers: Hongjoong and Jongho

Relationships: Platonic

Hongjoong’s pov:

When I woke Mingi up, he sounded slightly congested. It was a bit odd I had to wake him in the first place, but it wasn’t the weirdest thing I’d witnessed in the dorms.

“Mingi-ssi!” He rubbed his eyes and stared up at me. “Schedules soon, bud,” I said while I opened the blinds.

“Morning, hyung.” He sat up and sniffled before bringing his blanket up to cover his face.

“heATCHUuh! huESHUu!” Mingi jerked forward and bent at the waist with each sneeze before clearing his throat and getting out of bed.

“Oh, bless you.” I couldn’t help but cringe a little at how harsh the outbursts had sounded.

He prodded his nose with a knuckle. “Thank you,” he yawned.

I didn’t worry too much, thinking his room was probably a bit dusty. Jongho had complained earlier about dust and his nose feeling itchy so perhaps the dorm just needed a quick clean.

Mingi’s pov:

I woke up with a stuffy nose and a sinus headache. My body ached and I felt cold. It was not a good day to catch a cold and I mentally scolded myself for overexerting myself for the past few days. I got up and started washing up despite the pounding pain from the pressure in my head.

We had dance practice which I was not excited for. I felt like crap. The first day of a sickness was always the worst. A t-shirt and sweatpants would have to do.

I started walking down the hall when I had to stop. “haESHH! ESHHuuh!”

I shook my head to try and clear the feeling, regretting it when the pounding in my head returned.

Downstairs, the rest of the members were already dressed and wide awake. I sat down and put my head on the kitchen table. Wooyoung put down a mug of hot coffee for me and scratched my head.

“You okay?” San asked after draping his body over my back in some sort of weird hug.

“Yeah,” I lied. “Just tired.”

He nodded and left me alone shortly before Jongho called for me.

“I put the rest of the food in the fridge because I didn’t know when you’d come down,” he said. “I’ll take it out. How much do you want?”

I shook my head. “I’m not all that hungry.” I got up and opened the fridge myself. “I’ll just have some fruit.”

Jongho gave me a questioning look but accepted and I grabbed some melon when he quickly turned away and covered his face.

“hurRESHHuu!”

“Bless you, Jongie!” San yelled from the other room.

Jongho rubbed at his nose. “Ugh, thanks.”

I stood there in slight shock, surprised I wasn’t the only one sneezing. Hongjoong scolding me to close the fridge snapped me back to reality.

I obeyed and turned to the maknae. “Bless you,” I mumbled. “You alright?”

He looked at me as if he was offended I asked. “I’m fine it’s just dusty,” he sighed. “I’m starting to get annoyed.”

This was my perfect opportunity. “Same, it’s making me all sniffly.” The members wouldn’t bat an eye if they thought it was only dust bothering me.

Jongho went on a rant about the dorm not being cleaned as everyone made their way outside to the cars to head to practice.

********time skip********

Jongho’s pov:

I was worried about Mingi. He was acting weird… er than normal. Usually once he wakes up all the way he shows his goofy personality, but today he seemed unhappy.

We had been away from the dusty dorm for long enough that my nose wasn’t being bothered anymore, but I couldn’t say the same for Mingi. He sounded super stuffed up and his eyes were glossy. Maybe he was even a little pale? No. It had to have been the lighting.

I was staring at Mingi, trying to figure him out, when he stopped in his tracks. He suddenly sneezed, twice as usual, but they looked and sounded harsh and painful. There was definitely something wrong.

Mingi’s pov:

Jongho kept looking over at me for all of practice. He appeared to be suspicious of something I was doing, but I was too sluggish to be able to tell or care. I was so tired. My head hurt. I couldn’t breathe through my nose. My body was so sore. I was a disaster.

I was trying so hard to act like everything was okay that I bumped into Hongjoong. I nearly fell to the ground. Someone paused the music but I didn’t know who. I felt like I was losing my mind.

“Mianhae,” I managed.

Hongjoong reached out to steady me. “Mingi, what’s wrong?”

I shrugged. “Just having an off day I guess.”

Out of nowhere, Jongho approached me and placed a hand on my forehead. The cool touch made me shiver.

“Hyung,” he groaned. “You have a fever.”

That was all it took. The floodgates opened and tears streamed down my face.

“Aish, come here.” Hongjoong wrapped his arms around me. “Let’s go, I’ll drive you home.”

I cried harder, not wanting to leave his embrace and kept a tight grip on his shirt.

“It’s okay, let hyung drive.” Jongho rubbed my back. “I got you.”

I couldn’t resist that offer. Our maknae, who hated physical touch, was willing to let me hang on him just so I could get better.

********time skip********

Jongho’s pov:

By the time we got home. Mingi was asleep with his head on my lap. I could feel the heat radiating off his scalp.

We walked inside together, his eyes barely open, and Hongjoong took over as Mingi’s cuddler on the couch while I went to find medicine and a thermometer.

I frowned when the numbers came back. 38.8ºC (101.8ºF). Fever reducers should do the trick.

“Do you need anything else?” Mingi shook his head. I stroked his hair and he grabbed a tissue to blow his nose.

When he was done, he didn’t lift his head back up. “huTCHH! hehTCHH!”

“Bless you, Mings,” Hongjoong cooed.

I sighed. “Bless you.”

He nodded in acknowledgement and sniffled. Hongjoong and I brought him to bed and he all but forced me to lie down with him. I fell asleep with him not long after making sure he was comfortable.

Hongjoong checked in on us frequently through the night and I checked his temperature every few hours as well as giving him more meds. Mingi’s fever broke by morning and he was back to his goofy self a few days later.

it's official. I have fucking COVID. I hate customers. my sinus pressure is through the roof. I can literally feel it through my whole face and my ears. i'm pretty much cycling between restless sleep, and trying desperately to entertain myself through a persistent headache and earache.

nurse call line said she's worried my symptoms could easily promote a sinus infection, but we determined that based on the amount of time I've had symptoms, I might qualify for Paxlovid and my PCP's care team will discuss that with me tomorrow, but for the time being I should utilize Tylenol if my fever spikes or 'if I have body aches' (haha funny one, they're worse than normal but i'm resting so...) and take, and I quote, "Sudafed from behind the pharmacy counter, none of that off the shelf stuff", or Afrin.

I was once again advised to use a Neti pot, though it was in a different term I currently cannot recall due to Headache and Tired and Brain Fog. I don't know what about them specifically bugs me as a concept so much, but I gotta admit, they just freak me out. I don't find much in terms of science that does more than shrug and say "just keep 'em clean and use distilled or boiled water!" to support that ick. And yet.

It's irritating to catch COVID a second time as someone who never stopped masking, wears appropriate masks, keeps fully up to date on vaccines and boosters, and isn't particularly social. The first time was family exposure, and fairly "The risk I took was calculated, but man am I bad at math". I didn't do my best, though I did what I could for the situation (complicated!). This time... all I can say is either I caught it from an asymptomatic coworker, from a symptomatic coworker but with an unusually long incubation period, or a customer. My coworkers aren't great about masking, but if they're symptomatic they usually will at least use a baggy blue + stick away from me.

Customers, on the other hand. Bro stop digging hair out of your mouth and then handing me your cash. Stop licking your fingers to separate your cash. Stop covering your child's sneeze with a hand and then using the same hand to hand me cash. Stop sneezing and coughing in my face. I primarily work register because I make us damn good tips due to my fawning nature, but I only have so much time to wash my hands between cash orders.

Present Day; 26/06/24 | Present Time; 11:45pm ... but whose counting, anyways?

My Plague Week

I had a prom on Saturday, the second one I've ever went to and the last for this year. I spent near the entire time crying in the bathroom. I'm not sure why it all caught up to me then, I wasn't even particularly overwhelmed, but I just couldn't stop crying. I cried and cried and cried. In the bathroom and at our dinner table. I felt like a terrible date to my friend who I had gone with.

To try and get me out of my skin, I downed a cup of dark roast coffee and went to go dance. It was alright, but I was overwhelmed, and crying, and dizzy. Eventually I left. My dad picked me up an hour early, I had been texting him and my mom all night how stressed I was, and how much I missed them. I felt like an even worse friend, and I cried the whole way home. I cried when I got home, I cried while I went to bed, and I'm sure I cried the next morning.

I felt fine, aside from being sore. Assuming this was just my overworked, tired, achy body, I took it easy all day. Watched Paddington, finished The Big Lebowski with my dad. Towards the evening I started getting a terrible headache. Honestly though, I wouldn't even call it that. It was more of a disorientation? Like every time I moved my head the room would spin and I'd get an achy pressure all across my face and feel faint. My dad wanted to go driving that night to practice my parking despite my protests, him and my mom said it would be good to learn how to drive when I wasn't feeling the best so that I would be able to when I got my license. They were right, so I went anyways. It was mostly okay, but I quickly started feeling worse and worse and worse. Eventually I just asked to go home, and when my dad gave me the OK, I drove us back. I can't quite remember the rest of my evening. I felt like a bad daughter. We hadn't really been hanging out recently, and then I made him pick me up after my dance

The next day I woke up with a scratchy, sore throat. I don't remember much else about the day, but I started feeling worse and worse. My sinuses were insanely clogged, I was having full body shakes, I was feverish, and so so sore. I decided to take a really hot bath to try and beat the fever out, thinking maybe I had just gotten run down and let a small bug get to me. I called my friend I went to prom with to make sure I wouldn't pass out in the hot both, but after a while it just wasn't helping. I was still squirming and sore and uncomfortable, even if the bath helped my joints. I went to bed and had a terrible sleep. I just could not get comfortable no matter what.

The next morning, I was up at 5am. I just could not go down for bed. I finally took a Covid test. The first was invalid, and the next positive. I took some medicine which helped the shakiness and sinus pressure and pain and I finally went to bed. I woke up in a massive puddle of my own sweat, I had started running an insane temperature, but I went back to sleep and slept it off for the most part. After my nap I took a shower, and then went and laid down again. The rest of the day I spent unable to sleep or actively drifting in and out of consciousness for hours, switching between too hot to too cold. I don't remember most of that day. I spent it delirious and sleeping.

I finally slept okay-ish last night, and I woke up today feeling much better. There was little to no sinus pressure, but I could barely hear out of my left ear. I was now coughing, but the fever and aches had subsided for the most part. Despite feeling better I just couldn't pull myself out of bed. I spent almost all of it rotting. Come late evening (say, an hour ago?) I did do some cleaning, putting away a load of washing and doing a general tidy of my room as well as cleaning up all my dirty tissues, but I felt mostly useless all day. I was feeling better but I just didn't have the energy to do anything, so I relapsed. I wasn't even particularly emotional about any sort of situation, I was just bored and it gave me something to do and think about for the next few hours and days. I finished tidying what I wanted of my room and changed my pajama pants and got back into bed. Now I'm thinking of sleeping. I'm tired of today. I want it to be tomorrow so I can feel even more better and actually get something done.

In reference to the relapse, I guess it was a build up of a few weeks. I'd been telling myself for weeks to "just get past prom season, then you can do whatever". It's been on my to-do list for ages. My last prom was Saturday. I think putting away my washing made me go through my list of chores and I eventually subconsciously got to the total accrued cuts I wanted to self inflict. I only did seven, which I suppose is my lucky number, and a star shape, leaving tons to be done in the future to make up for time lost. It didn't even really hurt, and I didn't particularly care, it was just another thing to do to get done the same way cleaning my room was, and I was trying my hardest to procrastinate on cleaning my room while still being at least a little productive. I just feel bored, near constantly. Bored with everything in my life, but at least I had a momentary distraction from how much of a loser I've been the past week.

I've been making loose plans with a guy I kind of have a thing for for when I'm better, but I'm just not sure he's into me. I'm not sure if I'm that into him, I know I've been attracted to him for a while, even used the word 'crush' weeks ago, and we've been talking a while, but I'm worried my feelings are just those of desperation. Or that I'm so bored by being cooped up in my room so much that I'm reading too much into every little text. I hope we do get to hang out soon though, even if he's not into me, he's a really nice dude, and I'd love to get to know him better. He's a mutual friend of me and the friend I went to prom to, so I'm sure if I wanted to learn more about him I could, but I don't want to make my 'feelings' too known before I even know if they're feelings or not. I don't think I'd deserve him, even if he was interested in me. I find myself so boring compared to him. And compared to plenty of people. Everyone around me seems to lead much more interesting lives, and I don't. Their summers all seem so fun so far. All I do is lay in bed and doomscroll. I don't do anything meaningful with my life but relapsing is one thing I can control, and one thing I can do. Getting bad again feels better to me than being 'boring'. Regardless, and as that was incredibly off topic, I've been trying to text him less. I don't want him to think I'm clingy or force him to be around me if he has things he'd rather be doing. We texted a lot while I was super sick and he showed me a lot of support, but I think he was just being a good friend, and I feel like a bad one for making him help me, so I was trying to distance myself just a little. That backfired in my face. I crave conversation with him so often, sometimes I open my phone and click onto our messages, and I desperately want to text him and get him to respond, but I don't want to be annoying. He has a life, and I'm not that big a part in it, and that is okay with me, but I want to take up more space. Hes such a genuinely kind person, and exactly someone I want in my life, romantic or otherwise. Hopefully soon I'll take up more space in his life and him in mine! And hopefully my feelings are genuine. I really pray they are. If I had to trust anyone with my heart, I'd trust him. I just hope he lets me.

Tomorrow will be better, I'm sure, and hopefully I'll feel much healthier. Maybe the day after that I'll be able to leave the house. Heres to hoping my plague week will end before it reaches a week or I might go crazy.

SINUS AND SNIFFERS

Whether it’s a sinus infection, cold, flu or hayfever, sinus congestion can really take its toll on your physical and mental wellbeing. You may feel stuffy with intense pressure in your upper respiratory areas, which can leave you feeling miserable, frustrated and tired. Whilst there are many over-the-counter medicines to take for sinus relief, there is also a way you can help ease symptoms naturally. Whatever the cause of your sinus congestion, here we discover the best essential oils to help you achieve a clear head and a good night’s rest.

Sinus infection symptoms

A sinus infection is a swelling of the sinuses which can lead to discomfort. Symptoms include:

Swelling and pain around your cheeks, eyes and forehead

A blocked nasal passage

Lack of or reduced sense of smell

Mucus from your nose

A headache

Raised temperature

Toothache and sometimes bad breath

A sinus infection will usually clear up within three weeks, however, many seek quick relief due to the debilitating symptoms it presents.

Essential oils for sinus infection

Peppermint Essential Oil – a popular choice when it comes to helping clear your sinuses. With its main compound being menthol, this essential oil is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory, a triple threat to sinus infections!

Tea Tree Essential Oil – with antibacterial and antiseptic properties, Tea Tree is excellent at eliminating germs, helping create a clear airway and relieving congestion.

Eucalyptus Essential Oil – with its minty and woody aroma and excellent anti-inflammatory properties, eucalyptus oil can help open up your blocked airways. It is also believed to help the easing of sinus infection-related headaches.

Flu can appear very quickly without a moment’s notice and present unpleasant symptoms. You may find yourself experiencing:

A sudden high temperature

Chills and aches

Tiredness and exhaustion

A dry cough and sore throat

A headache

Trouble sleeping

Stomach upset and loss of appetite

Upper respiratory congestion

Plenty of rest and lots of water are recommended for those experiencing the flu. You can also help ease symptoms naturally with essential oils. As the flu is highly contagious, you may find yourself alone and fed up until it runs its course. Having some essential oils to hand will not only help with your medical ailments but support your overall mental wellbeing when you are sick of being sick.

Essential oils for flu

Ginger Essential Oil – with its warming quality, ginger can help bring the heat back into the body and its decongestant properties make it perfect for loosening up mucus.

Lemon Essential Oil – a commonly used essential oil and an excellent choice for battling the flu. Lemon essential oil is disinfecting and energising properties that can help with everything from a blocked nose to a temperature, to low energy.

Essential oils for colds

Catching a common cold is inevitable; whether it’s children bringing germs home from school or workmates mingling in the office, it is no huge surprise when the symptoms of cold creep in. On top of the coughing, sneezing and generally feeling unwell, congestion from a cold can be frustrating. Not to mention having to constantly blow your nose in a bid to breathe more freely. Essential oils can help relieve some cold symptoms but also help keep you calm and alleviate the stresses of feeling unwell. The best essential oils for colds are

Roman Chamomile Essential Oil – known to help boost your immune system and help you relax. Chamomile tea is often used for the common cold, so it stands to reason that oil is a great choice. Roman Chamomile essential oil is also used for hayfever relief and is known to help with congestion.

Lavender Essential Oil – often used in aromatherapy, lavender essential oil is also a great choice if you suffer from a cold. Lavender will help ease congestion, promote a better night’s sleep and help you to relax.

Essential oils for hayfever

If, like many people at this time of year, you are suffering from hayfever, essential oils can play a significant role in helping to ease the classic symptoms of hayfever-related sinus headaches, fatigue and grogginess. For a complete guide to treating the main symptoms, check out our article on the best essential oils for hayfever.

How to use essential oils to clear sinuses

There are many ways to use essential oils for sinus infections and congestion-related illnesses. Some of the most popular methods include:

Inhaling directly – add some drops of essential oil to a tissue, hold it near your airways and breathe in slowly.

Steam inhalation – fill a bowl with steaming hot water, add a few drops of essential oil and inhale. Pop a towel over your head to trap the steam in for better results, but always be careful not to spill the hot water and take regular breaks to avoid getting too hot.

Diffuser – use a diffuser to disperse your chosen essential oils into the air for a more gentle way of inhaling.

In a bottle – add essential oils to a roller ball bottle and add some to your wrists and feet every so often.

In the bath – add a few drops of essential oil to your hot bath, climb in and relax.

In your homemade products – everyday products like soaps, wax melts and linen sprays are a brilliant way to enjoy the benefits of essential oils. Use them in candles, lotions, shampoos, bath salts and household cleaning products for sinus-clearing benefits all day long!

Important!

Some essential oils are stronger than others, and depending on how you use them, they may need to be combined with a carrier oil before use; this is particularly important if you use them directly on your skin. Always check the instructions before using and consult your GP beforehand if unsure. If you are a pet owner, please take extra care. If in doubt, find out more in our guide to which essential oils are safe for pets.

Although blocked sinuses can really get you down, with plenty of rest, hydration, sleep and a little extra help from essential oils, you will soon feel much better

Hi love! How are you today? Also, I have a request for you. What do you think about, Platonic!Tommy x Reader, where they are bestfriends, and Tommy catches a cold, and gets all clingy with the reader, and ends up falling asleep in their arms. While he is asleep, reader goes live on insta, or tiktok, you choose, and “makes fun if him” for “not being clingy”. Just two best friends cuddling, ya know? 😅 (but nothing sexual)

Hello, hello dearest! I am doing pretty well, I hope you’re doing well! And I genuinely love everything about this request - it’s too adorable! Sick!Tommy definitely needs all the bestie cuddles he can get :D So I hope I do this request justice and thank you so much for the request !! <3

Platonic!Tommy x reader (I wasn't sure if you wanted C!Tommy or CC!Tommy, so I went with CC!Tommy since the Content Creators are who I've been writing for, however I can rewrite this! ) *Especially if against boundaries*

~~~~

You knew! You absolutely knew when Tommy told you about going to the water course, on a partially frigid day, something was going to happen, now look where he was… Acting like a whiny, snot-nosed toddler.

“Y/nnnnn,” Tommy’s voice trailed from your bed, making you shift in your seat to see the tall blond sprawled out against your covers, groaning and sniffling. “Tom, if you get as one drip of snot on my sheets,” your warning - of course - fell to deaf ears as he sat up, groaning from what you could tell was the sinus pressure and headache. “Would you like me to turn off the lights?” You murmured, hoping to not agitate his ache more than it already was, however, he gently shook his head.

“No, but forget your stupid editing for two seconds and come ‘ere,” he all but coughed as you winced, hearing the rawness in his throat and with the soft lights you could see his eyes were slightly red and teary, as well as nose blushed red from blowing it. You couldn’t help the roll of your eyes as you pushed your chair back, shaking your head at your ill best friend with a tut. You flopped onto the bed, causing him to jump with the impact with an annoyed huff - glancing at you with a frown. “That ‘stupid editing’ I’m doing is actually for your stupid channel, so watch it or I’ll corrupt all your files,” you bit, wiggling your fingers towards him, attempting to possible irritate him, but he just pushed your hand away and scooted back against your mountain of pillows with a groan. You laid next to him, pressing your shoulders together as you both stared at the dinghy ceiling.

“You wouldn’t dare,”

“Try me, big man,” you both broke into grins at the nickname as Tommy broke out into a fit of coughs, making you frown. Scooting closer, you wrapped him into a hug, not minding the warmth from his hoodie. He slumped into you, sighing as you both laid peacefully. It didn’t take long for Tommy’s snores to rattle you, blinking as you glanced at him - his mouth parted and a bit of drool sliding down his chin.

“Gross,” you rolled your eyes, grabbing your phone from it’s charging port with a wicked grin. Opening your phone, you maneuvered yourself to be comfortable with the weight of the lanky blonde boy in your arms as you clicked onto TikTok, grinning as you clicked the Go Live.

Viewers began to pour in as you glanced between the “hello” and “hi’s.” Since becoming one of Tommy’s few editors, and even jumping onto the bandwagon of streaming - you gained a following quickly.

“Hey, guys!” You whispered, keeping your voice a low hum as Tommy moved, somehow cuddling closer as you snickered, attempting to keep the phone steady on the two of you. “I’m a bit pinned down at the moment, so Tommy’s new video may take a bit to go out! But, how’re you all today?” You watched chat - catching a few ‘good!’ and ‘better now.’ You were thankful for the community you gained - yes, it may’ve been because your best friend was a well-known streamer, but you could care less! You were proud to be by Tommy’s side as he accomplished his biggest dreams, and you couldn’t be happier for him.

“Yes, Tommy is with me, chat - I know! Look at this absolute teddy bear! He’s like a child with a death grip on their mother’s arm!” You snickered, as the chat agreed adding a few ‘haha’s’ and laughing emojis as a few questions came in, leaving you to answer a few while adding a few jabs at Tommy for clinging to you when he always mentions how ‘big man’ and ‘macho’ he is. It was the perfect opportunity!

“I’ve known Tommy for awhile - we knew each other from when we were younger and sort of became inseparable,” you giggled, remembering how Tommy used to ask you for help to reach his juice cup or the cookie jar, but now you’re always asking for help from your tree-height best friend. “Plus, he’s the one that pushed me to get into editing and streaming - so we all have him to thank for pushing me out of my comfort zone.” You smiled as an annoyed groan came from beside you, making you freeze as chat began to spam ‘HE’S WAKING UP’ and ‘RUN Y/N RUN!!!’

Tommy moved to sit up carefully, his yawn even sounding scratchy as he coughed some, mindful to keep it away from you. He blinked, his eyes switching between your slightly widened eyes and the TikTok live stream, as well as chat still spamming for you to quickly book it while you still could.

“Y/n…” Tommy hummed with his hoarse voice, the scratch in it as you slowly began to sit up, moving to try and give yourself at least a small chance to run. “Why’re you live… On the TikTok community… Hm?” Each word came out a bit breathless as you could barely contain your grin, sitting up on one of your knees while your foot grazed the floor.

“Tommy, Tomathy, Tom Simons, Big Man, come on,” you giggled, moving your hands up to keep him back if he tried to grab you. “It’s nothing!”

Your persuasive argument - you really tried to get out of that one - didn’t work as he reached for you, only to be pulled off the bed as you leaned back to get away from him. A shout came from both of you as you landed on your thankfully carpeted floor - chat was spamming as you and Tommy groaned, laying in defeat beside one another as he reached over, ending your little live as you turned towards him, grinning.

“A TikTok live? Seriously?” Tommy groaned, dropping his head back against the plush carpet as you broke into a fit of giggles. “What?” He huffed as you wiped at a fake tear, gesturing towards his face as he frowned, reaching up and wiping away a thick line of drool that had clung to his chin.

Your soft laughter caused him to break out into a smile, joining in on the laughter as he rolled his eyes as you both held your sides, still laughing before you both settled into the soft flooring, your shoulders touching as you sighed, glancing outside. The sun had begun to set, leaving the room in a soft light - you knew Tommy had another vlog to do tomorrow with Jack, Tubbo and Ranboo. You turned towards him, smiling softly as Tommy glanced at you, still holding a bit of a frown.

“You’ve got a busy day tomorrow,”

“At least I’m not stuck editing,” he snickered as you punched his shoulder, making him cry out and rub at the wound.

“What the fuck!”

“I should make you edit your own vlogs, dickhead,” you groaned, moving to sit up as he followed your lead, huffing as he began to massage his temples. The reason why he came over suddenly came back to you.

“Shit, what’re you going to do about tomorrows’ vlog? You’re still sick,”

“I’m a big man, Y/n, I think I can handle a head cold-”

“Yeah, okay, not even half an hour ago you were whining and grumbling about your much your head hurt and how much you needed your best friend,”

“Aye! Don’t make me sound like a pussy!” He grumbled as you rolled your eyes, snatching your phone and flopping back onto your bed, going onto Twitter to see all of the screen records and clips your fans had gotten from your small live. Tommy sat on the floor glaring at you before standing, still glaring before attempting to climb over your comforted body.

“Tomathy!” You growled as he flopped back into his previous spot, snuggling into the comforting feel of your pillows and even your own warmth. It felt comforting for him to feel your precious, but he’s not a pussy so he’ll never admit it.

“Are you done?”

He side-eyed you, pursing his lips with a huff. Not answering as you rolled your eyes before returning to your hunt on Twitter. Tommy side-eyed you again, before scooting closer and watching a few of the clips with you. Tommy couldn’t hold back the scoff as there was a picture of him practically on top of you as you tried to speak to your chat.

“I am so sick of you,” he suddenly grunted as you glanced at him, rolling your own eyes while closing your phone and staring at the ceiling, once more that evening.

“I know you’re not, you can’t lie to your best friend, TommyInnit,” you scoffed as he sighed, closing his eyes as you felt your own body slowly become warm and comfy on your comforter, sighing as you and Tommy both began to drift asleep.

“You’re right.. But, I don’t see Tubbo here,” he mocked, his eyes still closed as you snapped open your eyes, frowning. You moved around some before snatching one of your smaller pillows and smacking it against his chest, causing him to yell out again.

“Now, I’M sick of you,” you huffed, settling in and closing your eyes as Tommy scoffed, as you two settled in, too tired for any more bickering and allowing you both to find comfort in your best friends arms once again - this time no lives, no chats, and no more annoying sniffles.

Here i am again

Today was a whole lot of nothing, as per usual. Not a lot to report.

E3 carried on, Squeenix did their conference and there were some things i was glad to see - FF8, FF7, Oninaki, Dragon Quest Builders 2. i think there was something else but i can’t remember. It’s not that important, none of it is out yet, and none of it will be playable because i cannot have it as it stands yet. Once Sir starts getting paid to take care of me, i will be able to start getting things to do and have. That will be nice.

Breakfast was had, bagel with PB and a cup of coffee. Dinner was rice and beans, with a second cup of coffee. i’ve snacked on some pretzel sticks. That’s about it for my calorie intake today. 

Duckie was out a few times today, most notably to watch Sir play FF7. She enjoyed that immensely, asking numerous questions - about words, about things, about goings on, etc.  But Sir took it in stride and answered everything patiently and fully. Duckie sponged it all up, as she does. She’s a good girl, i hope she will warm to at last meeting the rest of us soon, but no pressure. The other Littles, Belle and Tabs, have made a nice little room for her in the headspace, filled with lots and lots of things - all in pink, which she’s said is her favorite color. That was apparently my favorite color at that age.

i apparently had a shirt of that color, soft bubblegum pink, that was ruined by one of my Monday cleanings. Bleach will ruin clothes if you’re not careful, and for a 4 year old, well, it’s hard to be careful when you’re tiny and scrubbing a bathtub.

As for body: Woke up with a headache, left temple area, but not quite the temple itself, more a bit forward and up. Any time i do anything that would exert pressure, it aches and sometimes shoots some acheypain down to my left sinus, or up into the top of my head. Cluster headaches, yay. Back aches, wrists ache, hands hurt, fingers hurt, neck aches, right hip hurts. Feeling tired, all day tired, thus the second cup of coffee, which did help some, but it’s already wearing off. The weakness in my left side is easing some, Sir gave me a squeezy ball to help try to keep the nerve connections flowing, keep the muscle memory active, try to help with it, and it does seem to be working. i squeeze it when i’m not doing anything that would require my left hand. 50 times, then rest for a while. Then again, repeat ad infinitum.

Currently reading Storm Siren by Mary Weber, 68% through it. Interesting so far, the MC is an interesting girl and the other characters are intriguing and i’m interested to see where the story goes from here.

ASMR & Blogging

Done.

Very strong energetic influxes coming through at this time, some related effects through my experience are sinus pressure, feeling tired or sleepy, loss of apatite, ringing in the ears, body/muscle aches, headaches, tooth ache. Our physical body is clearing and upgrading!! These changes can be intense at times but remember to nurture and honor yourself as we acclimate to these higher frequencies.⚡ Get as much rest as you can, ground to stabilize and allow the energy to anchor to the crystalline core.💎🌎💎❤️

Symptoms of Sinus Infection to Look For

You might not know that you are dealing with sinus infection as it has cold and flu as the common symptoms. If your nasal canals become infected, bloated, or inflamed, it can be a sign that you have a sinus infection. A sinus infection can be caused by a buildup of fluid in the sinuses, which allows germs to flourish. It can get worse with the time if not treated at the right time.

Sinus pain and pressure 

 The fluid trapped in the sinuses fills the sinuses and can cause severe pain and pressure. The sinuses are soft to the touch. One may have an urge to sneeze, but one cannot. 

 Pain can be on the cheeks, around the eyes and nose, or on the forehead. This is because these areas have sinuses. Bending down may exacerbate the pain. 

 Sometimes pressure and pain are so severe that they interfere with sleep. 

 Sinusitis can also cause swelling of the tissue of the nose. 

Headache 

The pressure and pain of sinus can cause head ache due to trapped fluid. Some people find that the pain spreads elsewhere, causing more common problems and even neck pain. 

Post-nasal drip 

 Post-nasal drip is mucus that drips from the nose to the throat. It can cause hoarseness, constipation, and tightness in the throat and mouth. 

Traffic jam 

 Sinusitis usually occurs when fluids that may contain viruses, bacteria, or fungi are trapped in the sinuses. Due to fluid retention and inflammation, a person may experience constipation. 

Cough 

 Sinus infections can cause mucus and water to build up in the throat, causing itching and satiety in the throat. Some people cough repeatedly to clean their throat, while others cough out of control. 

Fever 

 Fever is the most common sign that you may have sinus infection. Other symptoms associated with fever include chills, malaise, and muscle aches. Colorful slime, Viruses, bacteria, or fungi in the mucus can change their color. People with sinus infections often suffers from green or yellow mucus in coughing. Sinusitis causes a lot of mucus production and you may find that you cannot clean your sinuses regardless of how often you blow your nose. 

Fatigue 

 It is common to feel tired because it takes energy from the body to fight sinusitis. Some people feel tired because they have trouble breathing or feel pain. 

Bad breath 

 The mucus associated with sinusitis gives off a foul odor and can cause a breathy odor and a bad mouth taste. 

Toothache 

 Excessive sinus compression can cause toothache, which can lead to toothache, toothache, or common mouth pain.

put your lighter in the air (and lead me back home)

Did someone order an angsty Teomitl sickfic?? Because that’s what I’m putting out! In which Teomitl has a bad cold and worse self-worth issues feeding off each other, but Acatl appears to make at least one of them better.

Also on AO3!

-

It starts with a nightmare, and that’s why it takes him so long to realize something’s wrong. Since the very first time he met his sister in Zoquipan—since the first time he nodded at her smile and agreed that yes, he deserved the crown and he deserved it now—he’s had too many nightmares.

This time, he’s in the courtyard in the woman’s quarters. There’s a bit of relief in that; at least he won’t be seeing Chalchiuhnenetl’s cold smile in his mind’s eye tonight. As he shifts his weight, there’s enough resistance against the movement that he looks down to see lake water sloshing over the tops of his sandals. It’s red and salty, and he knows why. He can feel the crack of bone and the horrible bursting liquid of some internal organ in his own mouth as his ahuitzotls feast. They are so, so hungry. His own stomach roils. In the edges of his awareness, the palace is crumbling.

Acatl stands within arm’s reach. He’s pleading with him—he can see his mouth moving, read the anguish in his face like an open codex—but no sound reaches Teomitl’s ears. His head is full of blood and poison and his sister’s creaky, singsong voice telling him just what he has to do.

Instead of spinning on his heel and adding kinslaying to his crimes, he takes that one step forward.

Acatl’s head falls like a stalk of young corn. So, a moment later, does his body.

“No!”

Mihmatini’s voice, screaming. Where did she come from? It doesn’t matter, because she’s here now, just in time to see her brother die and know who killed him. And she is furious.

He can’t stop her. He doesn’t even want to. He’s just killed Acatl with his own hands, and he knows what he deserves. When he lifts his chin Mihmatini’s blade slides under his jaw like a kiss, and the last thing he sees is his own blood spraying across her face.

He jolts awake so abruptly that there’s still a sob caught in his throat. His breath hitches, hard and painful, and comes out in a raw gasp that turns into a cough. The brightly painted walls of his sleeping chambers are shadows in the moonlight; it must be after midnight, but everything still feels sticky from the earlier rains. Just a dream. Just a dream. I set my sword down that day, I did, it was a dream...

Movement by his side, and a voice he knows. It’s less frantic now. “Teomitl!?”

Ah. He’s woken Mihmatini. It makes him feel even more terrible, remembering all that blood, and for a moment he thinks he’s going to be sick. She’d hated him so much. He swallows it down and curls himself into a fetal position, squeezing his eyes closed. Something cold slithers through his gut; when he tries to talk, he almost chokes on another half-swallowed cough. “’M awake.”

“You were having a nightmare.” She lays a cool hand on his brow, and he exhales. That’s right. They are friends again. She doesn’t hate him anymore, if she ever did in the first place; that she’s here by his side instead of sleeping at the other end of the Duality House proves that. Her voice is soft, and the way she pets his forehead is softer still. “Gods, you’re warm.”

“Mhm.” It’s not me, he wants to say; it’s the room. Now that he’s conscious, his head feels stuffy and he can’t quite get the words out.

She pats him. He feels a little like a puppy, but not in a bad way; it reminds him again that she loves him, no matter that he doesn’t deserve it at all. “How do you feel?”

“Ngh.” Oh, right, she’ll want words. “Tired,” he mumbles.

He can’t see her face in the dark, but he can hear the comforting smile in her voice. “...Go back to sleep. You’ll feel better in the morning.”

He does not feel better in the morning. If anything, he feels worse; the pressure in his head makes his sinus cavities feel like they’ve been packed with mortar, and his limbs feel as though they aren’t properly connected to his body. Everything feels slow and floaty in a horribly disorienting way. When he makes his devotions to the gods, it takes real effort to keep his hands steady and not cut too deeply. Food is out of the question. He picks at his fruit and barely touches his porridge, and he normally likes porridge. Now, it’s sitting too heavily in his stomach.

Mihmatini notices, of course. “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing.” It’s a lie, and he’d promised himself he’d never lie to her again, never keep secrets from her—but really, it is nothing. He’s felt so much worse than this before. It’s certain to be just a cold, nothing like the knife-edge pain of when the plague nearly took him. He can sit upright, and his vision is barely blurry at all. He makes himself eat a few more pieces of fruit to prove it.

His wife looks singularly unconvinced. “If you say so.”

The rest of the day is somewhat of a blur. He has meetings with the rest of the war council to discuss the tribute they’re due from far-flung provinces. He sees Quenami from a distance and is too exhausted to even muster up his usual seething fury. He spends a lot of time sitting down. His skin feels like it’s stretched too tightly over his skull when he blinks, and once or twice he misjudges the width of a doorway or the angle of a corner hard enough to raise bruises. Somewhere in the middle of that comes lunch, but he can’t say what he’s actually putting into his mouth. It all tastes like mud, anyway.

By the time he gets home, he has a screaming headache and wants nothing more than to collapse. He’s never been so aware of the inside of his own skull. Sleep, he thinks fuzzily. I need sleep. But as he steps into his own courtyard, he finds it already occupied.

Acatl is grave and sharp-edged, but those edges soften when their eyes meet. The man he loves is almost smiling, and at any other time it would lighten his heart. “Hello.”

“What are you doing here?” His voice sounds strange in his ears, as though he’s speaking underwater. He clears his throat until something shifts and he can add almost normally, “I thought you were busy with a funeral.”

That smile fades, replaced by the faintly wrinkled brow that is Acatl’s base expression. At least it doesn’t bear the particular scrunch that means he’s annoyed, merely faintly puzzled. “Mihmatini invited me for dinner. Don’t you remember?”

Teomitl feels his face grow warm. Well, warmer. That conversation was last week, and it’s slipped his mind entirely. “Right. Let me just...wash up.”

Cold water helps, though perhaps it’s too cold; he’s still shivering when he sits down with Mihmatini and Acatl to a meal of grilled frogs and amaranth dough. At any other time, he would have devoured it; now, though his stomach growls, he finds it doesn’t appeal to him. His wife and her brother are talking more or less around him—about their jobs, about their family, about how Ollin is running now and Necalli is sure to become a fine warrior if he continues to apply himself—and where he’d normally direct the conversation, he finds himself drifting. He wants to close his eyes. Acatl’s shoulder looks so wonderfully solid, a perfect place to rest his head...

He snaps himself out of it with a jerk. No. He is fine.

“Teo?” Mihmatini sets her skewer down, frowning at him.

He shakes his head. “It’s nothing,” he mutters. “I’m tired. I’m going to bed early.”

As he gets up and trudges off to his quarters, he misses the look Acatl and Mihmatini share.

He’s asleep before his head even hits the mat, but his sleep is not restful. His dreams are shattered, disjointed things—beasts of shadow, Tizoc with blood on his hands, his men screaming and dying in the valleys of Meztitlan while he sounds a treasonous retreat. He jolts awake, trembling, only for exhaustion to pull him back under. He drifts in darkness, semi-aware for a moment—are those footsteps he hears?—but he can only resist for so long.

When he opens his eyes, he’s back in the courtyard. If he was lucid he’d be downright bored of it; since he’s not, he feels like paper-thin skin wrapped around a core of ice and sick horror. Again he’s too late to help, too late to do anything but make it so much worse. An ahuitzotl’s corpse lies gutted on top of Moquihuix-Coatl’s withered body, and Mihmatini is holding her own bleeding hand. There is blood at his feet and on his hands and spilling across the floor in a veritable lake, and he can’t move. He can’t move. He can only watch, frozen, as his mouth moves and words come out.

He can’t hear the words. They don’t matter, anyway. What does matter is that he’s saying them to Mihmatini and Acatl, and as he speaks Mihmatini’s face twists into a snarl of rage. She’s the one to charge him first.

No. It hammers against his ribs like a heartbeat. No, no, no—

As his mind screams denial, his sword sinks into her ribs. It’s a brutal hacking motion, the sort of thing they train you out of doing in real battle because it’s nearly useless on a man with armor and a shield, but his wife is all softness and fluttering fabric and there is already blood on her clothes. It cleaves through her arm and into her body with as much resistance as the air, and she crumbles around it with a horrible wrenching cry.

“Good,” says his sister from behind him. She is smiling. “Now for the other one.”

That’s right, there’s one foe left. His body obeys. He takes one step forward—over his wife’s corpse—and another, and another.

Acatl does not move. He doesn’t have to. His eyes are voids and his skin black glass stretched over bones like silver, and as the magic flows out of him Teomitl knows his death is coming. Knows it and welcomes it. It’s all he deserves now.

Pain—pain—he can’t breathe, his throat is too tight, he can’t—

He wakes coughing so hard that he thinks his throat is going to tear its way free from his body. His chest aches and his lungs are a mass of agony, but he can’t even focus himself long enough to dedicate it to the gods. He reels into a more or less upright seat, still hacking up what feels like an entire lung, and retches for air until finally an indrawn breath comes cleanly. His heart is racing; dizzy and shaken, he has to collapse back on the mat again.

“Teomitl!”

“Acatl?” He didn’t even hear the man come in. He rolls over towards the direction of his voice, wedging one eye open. The sun’s long since gone down completely, but in the light thrown by the moon and a single guttering torch he can make out Acatl’s bone-white sandals and the rippling fall of his gray cloak.

“I knew you weren’t feeling well,” Acatl mutters, and takes the few steps into the room necessary to kneel by his side. The movement is more careful and precise than his usual wont, and it takes Teomitl by surprise until he realizes the man is carrying something in both hands. He can’t make out what it is, and in any case he isn’t really looking; most of his attention is taken up by Acatl’s face, which is tight with worry. “How long have you been coughing like that?”

He makes a face. “Mngh.”

Clearly, that’s not a good enough answer. Acatl’s frown deepens. “Mihmatini’s gone for a healer.”

Oh. That’s not good. He works his jaw for a moment, takes a breath—it tickles, but he doesn’t cough—and mutters, “She didn’t have to...”

Acatl scoffs. “Of course she did. You look awful, and you barely ate at dinner.” He sets down what he’s holding, which proves to be a bowl of the vegetable-and-maize based soup Teomitl usually avoids as too hot for his liking. Right now he suspects it’s the only thing he can taste. Acatl’s a wonderful and considerate man; though he deserves him even less than he does Mihmatini, remembering that he’s cared for warms his heart.

But that doesn’t mean he can eat the soup. “It doesn’t matter. I’m not hungry.”

Acatl’s eyes narrow. “...Eat something anyway.” Then he hesitates, looks Teomitl over again, and asks, “Please?”

It’s the please that does it. Sitting up again is the hardest thing he’s ever had to do in his life, but he manages it somehow and picks up the bowl of soup without fumbling. The heat of it soaks into his skin through the clay, and as he holds it he feels more...real. Solid. Present in the world. Since it also makes him aware that his head and chest are both throbbing, he doesn’t especially like it. He stares down at the pale maize kernels, the swollen red-orange tomatoes, the chopped pieces of chili, and tries to imagine putting any of it in his actual mouth. He knows it will please Acatl if he does, but he can’t bring himself to lift it to his lips.

Acatl doesn’t push him, at least not yet, but what actually comes out of his mouth is so much worse. “You sounded like you were having a nightmare earlier.”

He closes his eyes. It doesn’t help; he can see horrors painted on the insides of each lid. I promised myself I wouldn’t lie to you. I promised. Still, speaking of it makes his gut twist, and it takes a long moment before he can find any words. “...I’m used to it,” he mutters. “It’s only the courtyard again, anyway.”

Acatl stiffens immediately. “...The courtyard?...Again?”

He’s said too much. “It’s—”

“Don’t tell me it’s nothing.”

He drops his gaze to his hands and his untouched bowl. “...Truly, it’s nothing.” It has to be nothing. It has to be. They are only dreams, after all, no matter how badly he’s starting to shake. “I know there’s no need for apologies between us. But—” He sucks in a harsh breath and coughs again, grimacing as he clears his throat. It would have been so easy. So easy. “I guess it’s hard for me to remember that.”

Acatl makes a sound. Teomitl doesn’t look up; he can’t bear to see the pity he knows must be in the man’s gaze. “Oh, Teomitl.”

“I—” He’s breathing too fast, and now it’s sent him into another fit of racking coughs. His fingers tighten on the bowl, hot broth slapping at his skin, but he barely notices the sting. The more important part is that he can hardly breathe. Finally he gets his breath back and snarls, “I am fine.” Or tries to snarl, at any rate—it comes out more like a whine. He hates it.

The rustle suggests Acatl’s folded his arms across his chest. There’s an edge to his voice. “You don’t sound fine. Perhaps you’ll feel better if you eat something—”

His head snaps up. In the shadows, Acatl’s eyes are voids like they were in his nightmares, but the frisson of fear is drowned out by a hot spike of anger. He will not be pitied. It’s only a cold. Acatl has better things, more important things, to waste his valuable time on. “I don’t need you to look after me!”

“Someone has to!” Acatl snaps, gesturing furiously. His hands are trembling.

Teomitl shakes his head, grimacing when the motion makes him dizzy. “It’s just a cold—”

“What if it isn’t? Do you think I’ve forgotten the plague?!”

No, he doesn’t think that. Nobody could possibly forget the plague; there are mornings he wakes trembling like a beaten dog, mind still full of cobwebby nightmares all featuring Acatl’s face slack in death. In the worst ones, it is Mihmatini’s weeping that tells him before he even rouses from the grip of that vile pestilence. But that’s passed—that has passed, it is over, they are both perfectly well again—and so in his waking life he normally refuses to dwell upon it. Normally. But Acatl’s voice is full of anguish, and his heart cracks to hear it. “Gnh—”

“I love you, I—” Acatl abruptly shuts his mouth, turning a shade of red Teomitl has never seen on him.

“...You what.” It comes out flat and hard and sharp as obsidian with his own shock, but he can’t control the tone of his voice when it’s a miracle he can speak at all. It’s a miracle he can even think. He wonders for a moment if he might actually pass out; Acatl’s words are humming through his veins until there surely can’t be any room for blood.

For a moment he thinks Acatl won’t answer, but then the man takes a deep breath, squares his shoulders, and meets his gaze. “I don’t believe I stuttered.”

“You.” He feels like his stomach’s been ripped out. “You really...no. You can’t. Not after all I—” Not after the courtyard and the blood. Not after my sister. Not after the way I treated you, and you even gave me maize cakes as though I—as though I didn’t almost—

The nightmares—the memories—are all too fresh in his mind. Tears sting his eyes and blur his vision; he has to fight to keep his breathing even. Something in his lungs is making a rasping noise and he forces himself to take shallow breaths, because he knows that if he starts hyperventilating he’ll have another coughing fit. His skin feels like it’s on fire, and he can’t tell if it’s from sickness or shame.

And then hands cover his own, cool in comparison. “I do.” Acatl shifts closer, voice turning into something tender that nevertheless stabs Teomitl in the heart. “I told you already, haven’t I? I forgave you for all that long ago. And even then, I loved you.”

“I—” He’s not going to cry into his soup. He is not. He refuses. But when he squeezes his eyes shut, tears leak out anyway.

Lips press themselves gently to his forehead, his eyelids, both cheeks. When Acatl speaks, his voice melts the lump in Teomitl’s throat until he can breathe again; as he sucks in a noisy breath, Acatl murmurs, “I love you. I do. You don’t have to hide from me.”

He can’t speak. Words are entirely beyond him. He knows he has blood now, because it’s roaring in his ears until he can’t hear anything else but the echo of Acatl’s voice. I love you. I love you.

Acatl grips his hands a little tighter. “Eat your soup. You’ll feel better afterwards.”

He takes a breath; he can still do that, though his throat aches in a way that reminds him Acatl is right about him being ill. Perhaps—since Acatl loves him—he can take the man’s advice. It’s never led him wrong before. “Kiss me properly, and I will.”

Eventually, he does get around to eating his soup.

What Does That Headache Mean?

Headache is one of the very most common medical complaints. Just about everyone experiences a frustration from time to time. In the large majority of cases, it is really a completely benign condition which really is a nuisance and doesn't represent any significant or long-term medical problems. However, many people bother about a frustration and are concerned so it could imply something a lot more serious. Most of us know the old "It's not really a too-mah!" line and joke about any of it, but what do headaches really mean? Would they mean something more severe?

The solution is a specified yes. Some very serious medical conditions could be connected with headache. However, I must state again that the very large majority of headaches don't imply anything serious. While millions, if not billions, of men and women with this planet experience headache within their lifetime, just a small percentage will every have a more severe, related condition diagnosed.

Just how are you aware? What does that headache mean? That is not an easy question to answer. Actually, you can find physicians who spend their whole career specializing specifically in headache, its causes and its treatments. While there's no easy answer that covers all possibilities, this short article will supply you with a handful of the very most common causes and kinds of headaches, from the absolute most harmless and benign to the medical emergencies. It will explain a number of the differences that help to distinguish one form of headache from another buy modalert 100mg online. This isn't a thorough list of every possible reason for headache, you can find certainly others. It starts with a number of the more common causes and moves on to more rare causes.

This short article isn't intended to offer medical advice. Every patient and headache is different. Only your individual physician will help counsel you about what's best for the particular situation. If you should be concerned with a frustration or headaches you are having, consult your doctor.

Stress/Tension Headache

By far the greatest majority of headaches that many people experience are what is called a Tension Headache, or some similar variant. While the precise reason for these headaches is not known and probably varies from patient to patient, this benign form of headache is generally connected with stress and muscle tension or spasm of the neck, facial or head muscles. While their severity, location and characteristics may vary, they're almost always harmless and don't represent any more severe underlying problem. This is actually the typical headache the majority of us have experienced when you are over-tired, over-worked, or stressed. Tension headaches don't cause other neurological symptoms. If other symptoms can be found, it should improve the question of another diagnosis.

Sinus Headache

The paranasal sinuses are mucosa-lined chambers in the bone of the skull and face. There are numerous of these surrounding the nasal passages. Normally, mucous secretions which can be manufactured in the sinuses flow out of openings in to the nasal passage. However, if your sinus is obstructed so that its contents cannot exit, the pressure within the sinuses can build up. This could occur with mucosal swelling connected with allergy (allergic rhinitis or hay fever) or with infection such as a cold or sinus infection. When pressure builds in the sinus, it can cause pain. While some sinuses (such whilst the large maxillary sinuses) come in the face area, most are connected with the root of the skull. This pain could be interpreted and called headache. While these sinus headaches can occur in anyone with a "stuffed nose" of any cause, patients who've chronic sinus problems with recurrent sinus infections can usually have quite severe pain associated with this particular condition.

Migraine Headache

A migraine headache is really a specific form of headache that is regarded as of vascular or neurologic origin. They are more common in women and in certain patients can occur regularly, often following a particular area of the menstrual cycle. While they traditionally are called causing pain on only one side of the head, they can occasionally cause pain on both sides of the head as well. In addition to the headache, other neurological symptoms usually accompany the headache. As an example, many patients describe having an "aura" prior to the onset of the headache. These can vary but the individual generally has some symptom that lets them know a frustration is coming. They could even experience seemingly focal neurological symptoms such as a scatoma (a temporary blind spot within their field of vision) and other visual changes. Photophobia, avoiding bright lights, can occur as well. Finally, many patients experience nausea and even vomiting. All of these neurological effects don't occur in a typical tension headache and help to distinguish migraines. However, a number of the outward indications of migraine, specially the nausea and vomiting and photophobia, are much like outward indications of more severe factors behind headache such as subarachnoid hemorrhage or meningitis. Therefore, those more severe disorders should be eliminated before classifying a frustration as a migraine.

Cluster Headache

Cluster headaches really are a unique neurological kind of headache with a not known cause. These extremely painful attacks usually are only using one side and is frequently called a stabbing or boring pain that's located behind the eye. It always occurs suddenly and periodically, followed by periods of remission. In addition to pain, which is often extraordinarily severe and one of the very most painful conditions a human can endure, cluster headaches are characterized by symptoms that appear to come from the autonomic nervous system. These generally include ptosis (a drooping eyelid on a single side), tearing, runny nose, redness of the attention and even facial redness, swelling and/or sweating. These symptoms all occur only on a single side whilst the headache. Some patients describe certain triggers that set off attacks, such as ingestion of alcohol or exposure to heat.

Meningitis

Meningitis is an infection of the coverings of mental performance, the meninges, and the fluid surrounding mental performance and spinal cord, the cerebrospinal fluid. It can be brought on by viruses or by bacteria. While the bacterial form is significantly more dangerous and has the potential to result in severe neurological injury and death if not treated promptly, both have similar presentations. Both cause headache as one of many hallmark symptoms. Because of the infection and severe inflammation of the coverings of brain, any movement of the head and neck can be extremely painful. Generally it is a serious headache (with or with no back ache as well) that progresses rapidly and is along with a high fever. The patient generally includes a very stiff, painful neck as well, called nuchal rigidity. It's so painful they keep their neck very rigid to prevent any movement, even if they're lethargic or unconscious. Photophobia, just like migraines and subarachnoid hemorrhage, and seizures can occur as well. In case of bacterial meningitis, these symptoms can quickly escalate to a progressively deteriorating level of consciousness, coma and eventually death if not treated quickly. The mix of high fever, headache, stiff neck and/or lethargy should be thought about concerning for meningitis until proven otherwise. Untreated bacterial meningitis can progress quickly and could be life-threatening. Thankfully it is relatively rare.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Subarachnoid hemorrhage means bleeding into the area around mental performance in to the cerebrospinal fluid. While this will occur with trauma to the head, it can happen spontaneously due to the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. An intracranial aneurysm can be an abnormal bulging of the wall of an artery that feeds the brain. These weakened blood vessels are inclined to rupture and bleed. This type of bleeding typically causes a sudden-onset of severe headache. Most patients describe it whilst the "worst headache of my life." It comes on very suddenly and is generally of a stabbing quality. It can be associated with nausea, vomiting, seizures, stiff, painful neck and/or a depressed level of consciousness. In severe bleeds it will even result in coma or sudden death. In patients who've a history of chronic headaches, such as migraines or cluster headaches, they will generally say that the smoothness of this headache is different. Therefore, a sudden, intense, new headache, specially if connected with some of the other symptoms, should be thought about a ruptured aneurysm until proven otherwise. An aneurysm rupture, like bacterial meningitis above, is generally a medical emergency. An aneurysm that has ruptured are at increased danger of re-rupture. The second rupture is more severe and more devastating than the first. Again, this can be a rare reason for headache, but a potentially deadly one.

Brain Tumor

While the brain itself doesn't cause pain, increased pressure inside the head or irritation of the coverings of mental performance can cause headache. With a brain tumor that does either, one of many presenting outward indications of these tumors could be headache. Most kinds of brain tumor, whether primary or even a metastases from another tumor elsewhere in the body, can cause this symptom. A brand new headache in the setting of new neurological symptoms should raise red flags. Other symptoms that may accompany a brain tumor are seizures, changes in vision, or sensory or motor symptoms such as weakness of a area of the body. A variety of neurological symptoms are possible depending on the type and location of the tumor. Headache that's brought on by increased pressure in the head is frequently worse each morning or will wake the individual from sleep, improving when upright and awake. Again, this can be a rare reason for headache, but clearly the one that is potentially a very serious condition.
