Just a question about your remedy HDTVKSS, how exactly did you rinse your sinuses?? I went down with the flu last week courtesy of having kids at kindy so it's waaay too late for me, but maybe next time....
Sorry Odin, too busy riding to look on here everyday! umm 2 ways to do it depending on your budget / preferences. you can get a bottle of compressed saline from the chemist, im not sure if you need a prescription for it or not. bascily you put it in your nose, lean your head back and pull the trigger! then blow all the mess into a tissue. not my prefered method, i think the name of the one i had was phi - somthing.

other way to do it is get a largish bowl, some table salt and warm water. mix the water and a large portion of the salt cup it in your hand and inhale, then as above blow it out into a tissue. seems to work well for me, my old man gets sinus a lot and he swears by it....

the only time it didnt work too well was when my sinuses were infected and i was blowing out blood, not the most comfortable sensation....
