Has anyone here been successfully treated for fungal sinusitis? How?
I'm getting demoralized.

I'm being treated right now with Amphotercin B mixed in
a sterile salt water solution. I spray 10cc into each
nostril three times a day using a syringe with an
atomizer on the end. Obviously a lot runs out but my
ENT wanted the spray to get everywhere inside. I'm better
but I just had surgery a month or so ago also. I don't
know when/if I'll be able to call myself totally cured.

Hello Jane ...I have done everything this last 4 years including 4 surgeries
using all the sprays and antibiotics mentioned here on the group which only
seemed to simmer down the infection which by then was bouncing between my
lungs and sinus so I added a lung specialist to my appointments ..The lung
Doc additional tests and gave me a nebulizer machine but said the sinus
infection was the source of my recurring problems and prescribed the sameo
sameo meds that never quite cleared me up...10 months ago I was given
Amphotercin B as a 1% solution to irrigate the nose twice a day after what I
swore was the last surgery I will ever have ..the Amphotercin B wash seemed
to control what i call the lower area..I never felt clear in the sinus
....about 6 weeks ago I used the nebulizer (mist machine) with the
Amphotercin B solution which you breath in as a mist and within 5 days my
lungs were absolutly clear and feeling the best I had in over a year
...sooooo last week I started to inhale through my nose the Amphotercin B
mist which i find reaches my sinus area and I'm almost cleared up this
morning I awoke and could smell the coffee roaster from the neighbors
,,first time since last surgery I could smell , what a blessing the sence of
smell is.......Talk with your doc about a nebulizer and Amphotercin B
solution Michael

2. What tests did the lung doctor do?

hello Joe .....I lost breathing capacity to the point I got winded going up
1 flight of stairs ..the amoxicilin 2000 mg daily loosened it up a bit but
not gone,,, the doc did a breathing study ..along with ultrasound exam and
x-rays and cat scan , he said there was nothing bad showing but I have
"dirty lungs " ...I wouldn't go for a lung tissue sample unless I worsened
... after I started the Amphotercin B by nebulizer the second day I started
coughing up lots of yellowish green stuff which lasted the next 4 days less
each day..Michael
