Here's an update on my visit with the ENT doc this morning!
I have a black right eye! He said that my right sinus is completely blocked, nothing to do with the deviated septum (which is inconsequential at this point) but from the infection! He has this really neat scope with these really neat glasses that you wear so you can watch what he's doing up your nose! I knew everyone would appreciate that! I cannot believe how swollen my nostril is...gross! But really cool looking up there! Anyway, bottom line is that I am going to do a double whammy of antibiotics for 10 days, repeat the CT Scan and then if this infection isn't cleared up...yep you guessed it, surgery. He's thinking surgery anyway but wants the infection cleared up. He will only do the right side b/c there isn't any sign of sinus disease on the left, at least at this point. So...now I get to try a new antibiotic, two new ones! Yeah. I don't do well with new drugs! This is one I have never tried before... *looking around house for benadryl* The rest of the story is that the study doc wants to see me on Wed, a week early about my new symptoms, unless of course, the antibiotics kick in and I feel better by Monday. Great...NOT!!!

No, just cold weather. I'll bet you've got your share of snow!

Oh man. Take all of 'em tonight! You need to feel better, it's been months!
You said you didn't want that surgery, so you changed your mind?

Wow, Cheryl. TMI, but ugh, that is just awful for you. I hope the new ABs work their magic and clear up your infection, so Doc can clean your cavities..
I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you..

I am on Avelox/oral and Mupirocin ointment with the saline flush (boy! is that fun!) Rushing into anything???? I guess in the big picture, you are right! I just so tired of being sick. This guy has several patients with MS and has a good grasp of the disease...thank goodness! A lot of insight into the infection issue. That was refreshing not to have to explain the infection aspect of MS...great guy!

No I haven't changed my mind...he's going to have to CONVINCE ME that it's necessary...right now I am doing everything to make it NOT necessary.
