well, the doctor gave me eardrops and amoxycillin, as it's probably a sinus infection or something.

The dentist said that my teeth were OK, and sinus pain often feels like it's in the teeth. Especially when it gets that intense. That's good, because I don't have to go under the drill.

I'm a bit worried, because this is the third time this year I've taken a course of antibiotics.

I think I'll try to sleep in a chair tonight, as it seems pressure changes are what triggers it, however slowly. And I'll drink hot tea and cocoa, as it occurs to me that everything I've been drinking for months has been cold.

It's amazing how wide the variation is in the pain. One minute I'm thinking I'm all better, and the next I'm screaming "I'LL TALK!"

I miss sleep.

Have some yogurt to help replenish your gut microbes, `cause antibiotics do a number on them.

Actually, if it's your sinuses, you should avoid dairy (including hot cocoa and yogurt). But rone's right about the gut stuff -- taking acidophilus, bifidus, and other gut-happy flora is a good idea. You can get it at WholeFoods.

Green tea, esp. with rose hips in it, is good.
