As bizarre as this may sound, I'm in some pretty impressive pain right now. Sinus headache kinda pain that stretches from severe toothache all the way up to the crown of my head through the right temple. It pounds at times and there is usually only a few ways to get some relief from that pain, like really cold water to numb the tooth nerves or laying in strange ways on the bed in order to drain the sinuses around away from where it hurts (if that makes any sense).
Yet, perhaps even despite all that, I'm in a good mood. I mean, I'm hurting, sure, and I'm slightly medicated and looking at a long night at work, but my mind is calm, I feel emotionally centered and, even more strange, physically relaxed. Can't explain it, but that's the way it is.
Now what I have to ask myself is this: Do I feel so at ease because the pain is there, distracting me from other problems, or am I so at peace because I'm so focused against the pain? Does anyone else have similar experiences? Or am I just discovering yet another weird trait of my own?
Just for the record, this sinus agony has been going on for about a week and I have been like in whimpering pain all weekend. Literally burying my head in pillows and moaning as I try to get the sinuses to drain out. So I haven't been like serenly enduring. It only happened recently that I can just relax through it.
What're your thoughts on this?
It's not the wolf you see you should fear, but all the ones he howls with. Don't be afraid of the song, but don't piss off the choir.

Sinus headaches and I are long time companions....
I know how you feel and can truly sympathisize with you. Sometimes when I get a long lasting sinus headache I tend to get like you say....kind of a druggy mellow funk. I think it is because of the focus on keeping the pain at bay that causes this inner glow. I have also gone through all sorts of pain managment courses, rituals, seminars and so on all of them helped to some degree or another.

Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

I get headaches a lot, both sinus and migranes. A week is an awful long time for something like this to last.....if it goes on much longer, you may want to see a doc. I hope it isn't, but it could be something more serious.
