Sinus problems
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hello, this is my first time ever writing on one of these sites. I was reading and saw that I'm not the only one out there suffering from constant chronic sinus issues. It stated for me about 3 or 4 years ago where I would get sinus infections that wouldn't stay away. I would be on antibiotics and a steroid and things would be ok for a month but immediately come back. I have asthma and its usually under control but since my sinus problems its been out of control. Over the last 3 years I've had 4 sinus surgeries and after 3 months I'm right back to where I started. I've been tested for wegeners and cystic fibrosis all negative. I'm now seeing an allergist along with an ent. I'm so frustrated and at my wits end always feeling sick and having no taste or smell and tired to the point where all I want to do is be in bed and sleep. I feel like this is never going to end and I'm never going to get to the bottom of what's causing these problems. I just want to hear from anyone that's had these problems or has any advice at all. Thanks and I look forward to reading anyone's advice or story

I have had 4 sinus surgeries to, antibiotics and steroids and still have problems, I washout twice a day, since September 2017 as soon as I get off them with in six days its back, still working with it but its not going away, I to feel like there is no end to this, I've been to the ENT had scope done just come of the med's so I was clear six days later I got it again, I've saw a allergist nothing that would cause this showed up, I got tested for Sjogren's and I have it and I think that is one of my problems it has to do with dry eyes and throat from the lack of saliva which can effect any organ in the body, with dry eyes I have no tears, I believe hormones plays a role in all this because as you get older they change more for women, I hope the best for both of us any hope for a break soon, don't give up hang in there keep searching till you get to the right Doctor..I'm doing the same.

I believe I can help you with your problem, as you obviously have an allergy problem.
I suffered from severe hayfever as a child, and also from rhinitis and sinusitis when I turned 15 years old.
I was very allergic to pollens, kapok, hay, sawdust and cigarette smoke, to name just a few. I was also allergic to eggs and food nitrates, and very allergic to M.S.G. I had to move away from the coast, to avoid high humidity.
I was related by many specialists, and had my nose cortorised twice, I took allergy tablets constantly, to minimise the affect of the problem, but I obtained no lasting relief.

I continue my reply.
I needed analgesics analgesics regularly, but these only partially relieved the pain. I often needed steam inhalants such as Menthol crystals and Friars Balsam, to get further relief. At night I used Dencorub Heat Gel on my forehead and eyebrows to allow me to get to sleep. I developed a method of complete relaxation when I could not sleep for the pain.
At age 65 I found a complete cure for my chronic allergy problem. It was in fact a miracle cure for me.
Evening Primrose Oil works in about 4 hours, and it is effective for a further 24 hours, so one 1000 mg capsule daily is normally adequate.
It is not a drug, so it has no adverse side affects and it does not affect mental ability. Give it a trial and see if it is also a miracle cure for your problem.
Kind regards, Ray
