I don't now what to do anymore I have been sick with sinusitis for 4 weeks and this is the 3rd time since Feb last year. The facial pain and headaches around myy cheeks/jaw, pain in my wisdom teeth, extreme fatigue, dizzyness/blurry vision make it impossible to do anything normal. It is giving me immense anxiety as I am scared the infection will go to my brain or eyes or something. Four weeks ago I went to the gym 3x a week, 10000 steps daily. Now I feel like I am run over by a truck every morning and I am worried sick. Tried everything from sprays (avamys, flixonase, dymista), to antiobiotics (augmentin, amoxycillin, cephalaxin, rocithromycin), to oral steroids (dexamethasone). The AB makes me feel 10 times worse and the doc keeps prescribing it nonetheless. Been waiting on an ENT appointment since Feb 2019 in Australia and saw one overseas once who did a scan and saw major blockage of maxillary sinusus and concha bullosa. I get an episode every few months and it knocks me out for at least 6 weeks. I am trying acupuncture now but no relief yet after 4 sessions. I also do nasal rinse multiple times a day with saline solution, take probiotics, evening primrose oil, serrapeptase, vitamine D, and are on a dairy free diet (even though I love cheese). Nothing helps, and no doc has ever bothered to check my neck glands which burn like fire and I feel I am constantly super hot around my face/neck. I get these micro fevers (37.5-37.9) almost daily.... No doc has also bothered to take a sinus biopsy or done allergy test to check whether it is a bacteria, funghi, virus or allergy Any advice welcome!!

    hey anna,

    im relieved in a way to see that other people are going through this. i am also a very fit and active woman and it has stopped me in my tracks the past 3 months. ive been on antibiotics. they help but as soon as i finish them it all comes back. im currently using sudafed to help but its suggested not to use any longer then 7 days. Ive tried so many things and nothing is working. i feel like im only half in this world atm. Fatigue is the worst. body aches, night sweats, chills, headaches. i never get sick and its making me think horrible thoughts about there being more wrong with me. doctors dont seem too worried where im freaking out. im off to the ENT if this doesnt stop in the next couple of weeks. my neck glands also feel tight. not burning but tight. my osteo has started working on my sinuses so im hoping this will help in the next few sessions. i hope you find a way out of all this. good luck
