Oh no, DM and FG are both sick with sinus problems! :( Mine are driving me crazy from pressure in my head too, I wonder if they're caused by the cold weather? My head hurts as we speak. I just had some Nasonex a bit ago.


I hope you'll both feel better soon. :grouphug:

AWWW~ Thanks Wiz! The Dr gave me some samples of Nasonex spray, but I haven't used them yet.

Cheryl's the carrier, she made me sick!! :Sick:

Yep blame me...I blew on my monitor and spread the virus! LOL!

I'm wondering if the trial you are in, is the trouble. If the Med you are on, could be lowering your resistance to infection.:eek: :confused:

Just a thought, Cheryl. I hope you don't have to jump into the operation either. :hug:

So, I've been doing some internet searching today on deviated septum...they don't just happen. I've either had this since birth or it is the result of a traumatic event. I am thinking I've had this and no one has ever mentioned it before and it has deteriorated over time b/c of the chronic sinus infections I've had.

Ok...so am I being a cyberchondriac? Or internet diagnosing myself? I don't usually do this, but it is bothering me. Maybe b/c I have been so sick since Thanksgiving and I honestly think I do have good medical care. Afterall, I have been seen by doctors every month for the last year (sometimes more often) and this has not been mentioned? Hmmm...gives one reason to question things.

Cheryl, I hope your feeling better soon. My son Nik had bronchitis back before xmas and it took him at least two months and two rounds of antibiotics to get over it. He also used a nasal spray. Jim and I also use nasal spray because of sinus problems. The doctor said he was a day away from pneumonia and also warned about breaking a rib from coughing.

We have great medical care too but I am thinking Nik needs to see a ENT since he's been suffering since he was a baby. I hope you don't have a deviated septum but it is something you should ask about.

I wish it was bronchitis. Doesn't seem to be as simple as that. It's a couple of things - chronic sinus disease and deviated septum. I have had a chronic sinus infection since Thanksgiving. The antibiotics are not clearing it up.

I am sick again (or yet!). Woke up this morning with a sore throat once again. I was just starting to feel better and bam!

I am waiting for the ENT referral approval. It should come through this week. In the meantime, nasonex and saline nasal flush! So much fun!

I guess all these years of sinus infections have finally caught up with me!

Just curious. Do you also have acid reflux? I read there is a connection with acid reflux and sinus issues. I often wonder because I have severe reflux.

Nope, no acid reflux.
