Hi folks,

Gee, quite a stir over my initial Amphotericin B post, eh?  Well, I've
been irrigating (or trying to) for the last few days, and I'm still
alive. ;-)

Anyhow, I am a stranger to irrigation techniques.  And I feel I've got
to be doing this wrong.  I've looked on the FAQ under irrigation and
such, but this isn't exactly addressed (more into saline irrigation),
so here goes:

First of all, I'm using an ear syringe they sent along with the
medicine.  The instructions say to stand over a sink, tilt your head
slightly  to the left, insert the tip (which has drawn up 20 ml) of
the syringe as far as it can comfortably go, aiming for the back of
the left eye.  Then spray the bulb fully until empty.  Afterward, keep
the head tilted to the left for about 30 seconds.

Problems:  not all of the solution goes in my nose, some, no a lot,
splashes out on my shirt, or goes down my throat.  Frustrating.  Also,
everywhere else I've read to tilt your head in the *opposite* (in the
case above to the right) so it drains out the other nostril.  

Should I have my head almost face down facing the sink in the bowl to
do this?  Should I tilt my head to the opposite side?  Also, for those
who know of this, it suggests warming the stuff to room temperature.
In the morning, I don't have time, and since it has to be refrigerated
in the meantime, what's the best fastest way of warming it?

I'm going to call the lab pharmacy tomorrow and ask these questions,
but I consider the ones who have used this medicine correctly and have
helped folks like me the *experts*, really.  Thanks.

Rick
