It started 2+ years ago on my birthday in a hotel in Austin TX. I
collapsed and had no idea what had hit me.

My Dr said I had a sinus infection gave me 5 days of Ketek and it
seemed that all was well.

A few weeks later it was back, with a vengence, did about 10 days of
Levaquinn, and it went away.

For the past 2 years and change now I have had a sinus infection every
3-6 weeks, I take antbiotics, it goes away for a while then comes back
twice as strong.

Ketek, Levaquinn, Cipro, Augmentin, Bactrim... had them all!

Had both a CT scan and MRI neither showed anything operable.

Went to infectious disease, they found nothing.
Went to a Dentist, he found  a few cavities, but nothing that should
be a factor in my sinus condition.
Went to a Chiropractor, again, straightened out my spine and neck, but
infection still present and causing illness.

Where do I turn now?

It would be useful to get your nasal cilia measured to see if inactive nasal
cilia is the cuase of your problem.

Way too short of antibiotic courses. Keep reading this site , you will
learn.The first thing you will learn is finding a doctor ( ENT or
otherwise) that has a clue how to  treat  you is near impossible. THey
use the textbook. 10 days of antibiotics. Helps you develop resistence
with multiple courses and superbugs.THat is barely long enough for the
Rx to begin penetration.  There are world class ENTs out there writing
in the journals ....but the rank and file docs you will run into are
20 years behind the curve. Keep hunting for one that will go along
with things you learn on this site.

Yes but, it is also important to communicate to the doctor. Often a patient
tells  me his individual unique experience and this helps me plan his
therapy. Most doctors can learn from their patients but patients must
communicate.
