Sick? Not Sick?

[tablesaw]

For a while now, the people around me, in the office and friends, have been falling to the flu, colds, and all manner of sicknesses. Through it all, I've stayed remarkably healthy.

Except.

For the past few days, I've been getting headaches forcing me into bed early, like 8 o'clock. It's a kind of sinus thing, but it doesn't demand anything but a glass of water and some sleep. And I feel good in the morning after sleeping for ten to twelve hours. And then I start to get a headache again . . .

So maybe I am sick? I certainly might as well be for my supervisor, since I had to call in sick to get more sleep on a day I was already leaving early, adding up to an entire day home because I wanted to keep my eyes closed.

I guess I'll know more in a few hours.

Is your glasses prescription current? Have they gotten mangled recently? I found when I was still in mostly-glasses mode that I occasionally had a run of end-of-day exhausted & headache from a slight but significant loss of visual acuity.

I didn't think so, but I am due for a check up. Maybe I'll stop in to the doctor's on Thursday to have the glasses adjusted just in case.

Couldn't hurt. (My usual other recommendation for people is to do a sinus rinse with the NeilMed system.)
