Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / February 2005Had CT Yesterday
I go to get the results Monday, early. I have had 2 sinus surgeries before but now I have panic disorder. I am begging the doc to do anything but surgery. I don't know how possible that is. Anyone who prays, I am asking for th > I go to get the results Monday, early. I have had 2 sinus surgeries before > but now I have panic disorder. I am begging the doc to do anything but > surgery. I don't know how possible that is. You're in my thoughts. But I would like to suggest one thing: So many sinus sufferers find their symptoms are exacerbated by things in the environment. How about you relocating? Find an extended stay hotel like Residence Inn, and go live for a month in a healthy seacoast community away from pollution. Maybe with pure fresh air your sinuses would feel better.  SignatureSteven D. Litvintchouk Email: sdlitvin@earthlinkNOSPAM.net Remove the NOSPAM before replying to me. You are in my thoughts also. I have had five surgeries so far with more to come. Just had another CT Scan done last week. I know what you mean about the panic. Everytime I go see the ENT I get nervous, and right before surgery I get a full blown panic attack. I take xanax when that happens or they give me loads of vercid right after they start to prep me. Let us know what happened with your CT. Good luck. Trudy. > You are in my thoughts also. I have had five surgeries so far with more to > come. Just had another CT Scan done last week.

Trudy, I'll tell you one thing that might make you feel a little better: At my second surgery when they were prepping me, the woman in the bed next to me was being prepped for cancer surgery. And from what they said to her, I gathered this was either her second or third cancer surgery and that her cancer kept recurring. At least very few people die of sinusitis. SignatureSteven D. Litvintchouk Email: sdlitvin@earthlinkNOSPAM.net Remove the NOSPAM before replying to me. Thank goodness for that! I think my fear comes from my very first surgery. It was a pansinusostomy, ethmoidectomy, polypectomy and windows..done under a local by a military doc. They should have put me out for that I later found out. It was horrendous. I much prefer being out now. You are right, there are others that have it so much worse. I ended up with Churg-Strauss Vasculitis after 23 years of Samters Triad and that is way worse than the chronic sinusitis. I remind myself that even though it is pretty bad right now, I am not alone in my suffering. Trudy. Egad. This makes my surgeries seem like a hill of beans. |
