How Did You Sleep Last Night?

I am sorry you feel horrible. Hope you feel better soon.

Oh, I'm sorry too to hear that you're another victim of this disease... Thank you very much for your get-well-wishes. It's already a little bit better. I started with antibiotics immediately on Wednesday. So I can stay out of bed one hour for a few times a day now.

I have been trying to use products like Hydrasense to drain my sinuses

I don't know what Hydrasense is, but I rinse my nose almost daily with a physiologic salt solution (9 gram table salt NaCl per 1 liter boiled water). You can use a nasal douche or put the solution (warm but not hot!) in a bowl, and... Sniff it fast through your nose, mouth closed. Spit it out. After doing this 4 or 5 times shake your head gently. You'll hear the water moving in your sinuses...

To drain your sinuses now, bow over the sink or the toilet (I prefer the sink ;)) and move your head slowly to the right, then to the left. If your sinuses are acute, you will drain lot of nasty stuff out of them, with this method. I practice that for about 23 years now, everyday... Though it doesn't replace a consultation.
 
After having been awake for over 36 hours straight, I finally slept last night (went to bed at about 4am) and slept soundly; so soundly that I slept through the entire day and didn't wake up until 8pm tonight. But the dreams I had: very anxiety-provoking dreams, verging on nightmares. They were relentless, vivid and cruel. :-(
