...and the angels sang! I can breathe! Praise to the heavens! My nasal passages are 85% clear and I am finally receiving enough oxygen.
I have been sick since Sunday. Achy, stuffy, generally miserable. I watched TV, stayed in my jammies and wallowed in my illness for foggy days and sleepless nights. I saw the doctor yesterday and she gave me antibiotics which I took immediately, like a junkie getting a fix.
I woke this morning to the realization that I was breathing and my mouth was closed! Joyous, joyous occasion. Hey maybe you don't mind mouth-breathing but I find it very uncomfortable. I think I can thank my older cousins for that. I was told that if I had my mouth open during sleep, a virtual stampede of bugs would make a bee-line for my uvula. To this day I grind my teeth with the effort of keeping a tight mouth-seal while I otherwise peacefully slumber. Thanks for the TMJ, Danah!!
But anyways! I'm so grateful to feel clearheaded. It feels like spring in my sinuses, yay.

Glad to see you're feeling better! I hope you continue to breathe easy. Your bug story however, well, it now has me wondering about EVER sleeping with my mouth open lol.
