i wish i had some advice. the only thing i can think of is that because the infection isn't clearing up it's why you start to get better and then sick again.
make sure too that if you're using humidifiers that you clean them meticulously. the water in humidifiers is kind of pulverized and makes the molecules easier to be sniffed and inhaled. so if there's bacteria in the water...guess what.
sure hope they can finally deal with this and you will be better.

Hi Judy
I use a vick's steam inhaler and I do clean it very good inbetween uses.
I am also on nasonex, singular, mucinex, and a saline flush. DAILY.
I also had a chest x-ray that was clear so I don't have pneumonia! That was done last week.
My CT scan shows the sinus disease!
I just got a call this morning and the ENT referral has been approved! Yeah!!! I called the ENT specialist that I want to see (I am loving TriCare so far!), and his nurse is supposed to call me to set up an appt. I can't wait to find out what's going on...and what the next step is to get this sinus crapola under control.
I am tired of being sick. It is wreaking havoc on my MS...and I cannot deal with this much longer. My next Tovaxin appt is in 2 weeks and I need to be well enough to pass the neuro stuff so my EDSS doesn't decline...again...can't do steroids.
