I have an sinus problems off and on since I was in high school so this really isn't anything new. The deviated septum dx is tho. I have been evaluated by ENT specialists several times and have never been told this so it was a complete surprise!

I am not one to volunteer for surgery. They are going to have to come up with a pretty darn good reason to convince me to have surgery. I don't do well with anesthesia and I have heard this is pretty nasty surgery - both sinus scraping and the septoplasty. Not going there unless it is the course of last resort!

I am doing the saline flush but cannot do any steroid inhalers due to the clinical trial I am in right now.

Yeah Chris, this has been going on since Thanksgiving. I am tired of being sick. This has never lasted this long before.

I am ready for it to be over...and my energy level to return.
