Relieve Sinus Pain with Sudafed's OPEN UP app and Win $5,000

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sudafed.

After returning from a wonderful mom-and-son blog getaway to Mexico last week, I was "lucky" to have my sinus take over and make me miserable - starting on my way home on the plane. 

Everything hurt; my head was pounding from the pressure on my sinus and my eyes just kept watering. Not to mention the total discomfort of having my ears pop on the plane. In reality I just really couldn't handle anything, much less traveling with my kiddo or not being able to get to my pharmacy to pick up some relief. 

It wasn't the way I wanted to end that trip at all, especially when it started so wonderfully for my birthday! But that is what sinus pain and colds do - especially here in Texas... they come over you when you least expect it and then like that you are down and out. And the feeling? That's the worst part. I couldn't put my fingers on enough pulse points to attempt to make my brain quit pounding. 

And let's not talk about the runny nose once that started. Indescribable.

While hindsight is 20/20, had I been able to take stock in tissues before I got sick, I would be a rich woman now. 

Bottom line: I just wanted to zip off this body to relieve the pressure. 



Thankfully, Sudafed is helping to relieve a little of the pressure that comes from sinus pain with the Sudafed OPEN UP™ Facebook app. This nifty app helps sufferers visualize their pain with a photo contest, share it with other suffers, get a coupon and best of all, be entered in for a chance to win $5,000. 

That alone is enough reason to feel better. 

Well, after you have taken a Sudafed. 

Sudafed knows that suffering from sinus pressure and pain can leave individuals feeling crushed, beat down, congested and even squeezed, desperately looking for a way to open up. Serious sinus sufferers are invited to creatively share how their sinus pain and pressure looks and feels to them by using Sudafed’s OPEN UP™ application on Facebook.

Then, beginning on December 2, the Sudafed Facebook community will vote for one of five finalist sketches that best illustrates the pains of sinus pressure. The winner will receive $5,000 and a chance to have their work included in a Sudafed advertising campaign. For more information, visit the Sudafed Facebook page.
