Over a week now. Feel shattered. Anyone else or is it due to lack of pudding or Cat aids?

overtraining

a mate has had sinus problems for a few months – just had a wisdom tooth removed and apparently they realised he had a cyst in his sinus?

You’ve got an infection due to training, it’s expected. Your breathing harder and longer and with more vigour, don’t back off riding but pace down.

Training makes you tired.

If it continues, see a Vet.

It’s an adverse reaction to steel. Specifically Ritchey Logic Triple Butted Steel.

You know what to do….

Is it just me or did anyone else read “pressurised anus?”
New saddle time 🙂

Side winds cause sinus problems. Well known fact.

You’ve got an infection due to training, it’s expected. Your breathing harder and longer and with more vigour, don’t back off riding but pace down.

I find regular cycling gets those cilia working overtime and flushes out the sinuses and lungs nicely, and I get fewer respiratory infections as a result.

Could be just wishful thinking on my part, but I didn’t get a single cold in a year of commuting thru sun and rain, but as soon as I stopped for two weeks I went down with a humdinger!

There is a gizmo for a sinus wash-out, will try and find a link. I sympathise, sinus pain is miserable. Every year I get an infection and the only way to clear it is antibiotics.

Here you go:

Another cheaper option is a Neti pot:

How’s that work then?

I had sinusitis a few weeks back something never had before, felt a bit shit with it and at it’s peak was a bit sore. Cocodamol helped for and then when the crap eventually started coming out felt a lot better after a few days.

I had a sinus pump thing which was interesting and expensive …sent it back..

You might have some allergy to something in season…..I’m allergic to tree pollen apparently and that hits me hard….

Or you’ve just got a dose of the manflu that’s going around 🙂

Or as said overtraining an ya need a little rest ….

I used to get sinusitis a lot when I was in my teens and twenties. See your GP for antibiotic and when you blow your nose, blow gently or you’ll just push stuff up into the cavities.

Yep, I’ve had similar getting back on the bike this coming week, been off it for 2 weeks. Currently coughing up lots of gunge

Not Sinus’thy’ting. Just blocked up and no head pains.

Utterly robbed of energy and generally achy allover and slowww .

I hope its not manflu 🙁

If it ain’t manflu, it’s girlflu

HTH

Sinutab isn’t the answer. I has misbehaving sinuses and sinutab works every time. not Sudafed, not anything else. Just sinutab.

Typo sinutab IS the answer.

Sportiveexcuseitis? 😉

I suffer with sinus pressure fairly regularly, tried quite a few things but the only thing that seems to work are the nasal sprays that contain xylometazoline. Even if I’m completely stuffed up so that I can’t breathe through my nose, I’ll have a few quick blasts and after ten minutes I’m right as rain.

Sudafed do one which I’ve found to be good, but all their other products seem to have absolutely zero effect on me.

Antibiotics from Doctors.

Drink plenty of water too.

I had it bad recently and my docs put me on antibiotics.

Really? Ears have been pressurised too.

Count yourself lucky – I’ve just spent a year with Silent Sinus Syndrome – one of my sinuses has collapsed, pulling in the cheekbone with it… queue nose op, potential surgery to stick some new bone in, and extra surgery to move eyeball up a touch.

Still, all clear now, though having a camera stuck into your sinus whilst you’re watching to check it out was fun last week 😯

Lots of it around – I woke in the middle of the night last week with earache I have never had as an adult – properly painful and the next day I had a weird double echo thing going on, it sounded like I had a mini transistor radio playing everything around me with a slight delay into my right ear. By the next day I was fine – my hearing has been down slightly but I am just putting up with it.

My wife’s had this for weeks. So have about half the people I know at some point this winter.

Mine too – she went to the quacks about it today as she is also suffering from dizzy spells (so much so she won’t drive the car any kind of distance over just nipping down the road to school with our kids).

They prescribed something for the dizziness but said the illness itself is a virus (so no point prescribing anti-biotics) so she just has to put up and wait it out.

Yep, another one here. Feeling drained last few weeks. Woke up Saturday feeling even more tired, with sinusitis, light-headed and dizzy with it too. Decided a bike ride may flush it out … lasted a very slow and surreal feeling half hour on bike . Had to pull out of Battle on the beach as a result.
I know lots of people who have had this virus since before Xmas.

Sunday on the easiest climbs I felt like an oldman spent. Hope it goes I dont like that feeling!

For the record, I was kidding 😳

Its coming and going in waves (right?). Last night at the sauna- ****. Yet on the walk home – fine.

Fine all morning suddenly this aft I feel old and tired again.

Ideas?!

I feel old and tired again

Ideas?!

Have you considered that you might be old and tired?

When I say old and tired I mean suddenly 80yr old. Limbs heavy/no strength/struggle to lift.

you have a viral/post viral thing going on.

rest and give it some time.

I got knocked out for a month earlier this year by a cold that actually lasted about 4 days but I was knackered for 3 weeks afterwards.

It sounds like you have a cold!
Welcome to the world.

This isn’t a cold! It feels like bone-flu-karate-chop. Feels like I’m walking through quick sand

Give my malady the appropriate grandiose dammit 8)

to be fair to DrP he could have said ‘a bit of a cold’ so he’s at least credited you with the full ‘a cold’ diagnosis (not that it is yer actual diagnosis, obviously, rules being rules).

Where’s that man-flu video when you need it!!

Heal well chap! – TBH, if I were a doctor (like Gillian McKeath is..)I’d suggest you rest up, let your body heal, and enjoy the sleep…

Best get some Night Nurse and Paracetamol, don’t forget to have a hissy fit when they refuse to sell you both.

Go for a ride, kill or cure and all that 😉
