Thanks, it was helpful reading the previous posts. Paul, I wish you
the best with your surgery.
I have had chronic sinusitis for some time and last October after a
long walk, there was  a rush of fluid on the right side down my throat
and significant ear pain. I was told it was a virus, then spent three
months on antibiotics. After that I tried fungal medication. I am very
tired and have pain on the right side of my ear, nose, neck and
throat. A CT showed sinusitis and I had an MRI last Friday. I have a
deviated septum and was offered surgery for that, but am not convinced
that's the answer. The cyst in my throat is 3mm now and the ENT wants
to remove it and I am going forward with that surgery. However, since
he believes the cyst is part of an underlying infection, I'm wondering
why the doctor isn't trying IV antibiotics first. I mentioned the IV
antibiotics a while ago, but it was dismissed because I'd "have to be
in the hospital for that."

Since the infection--or whatever this is developed--the doctors also
discovered adrenal tumors and I am being tested for this now. But I
wonder if my adrenals could simply be infected and how one could test
for this? My social life is winding down to zilch, my kids and family
and friends are tired of me being tired and I see no end in sight. Any
and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
