Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / September 2007whining about the change in seasons
hi all, hope you are finishing a celebratory weekend. here in michigan we are enjoying our wide temp/barometric swings that mark our change of seasons. i am predictably miserable & just wondering for yucks - why do people who are prone to sinus/bronchial/other inflammatory conditions get so slammed by these changes? mine just seem to get worse as i age. just curious; resigned to having no control whatsoever. ellen Ellen, my sinus and allergies change when seasons change. My allergies are worse when the pollen, mold is high in our area. My sinus are the worst in the Fall and Winter and as I get older too. A Flu shot helps me a lot if I can get it in October. I had fewer sinus infections then if I wait until December, which is our Flu season. shirleyann > Ellen, my sinus and allergies change when seasons change. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > shirleyann Here in England the changes autumn brings do exactly the same things to me. I think the little buggers move house to somewhere warmer, deeper into our respiratory and sinus passages and cause irritation/ inflammation.

I also live in Michigan (mid-Michigan) and this is a miserable time Mel >> Ellen, my sinus and allergies change when seasons change. >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > ellen > Ellen: > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > > ellen i guess that we can at least be miserable in michigan together... ellen Ellen, I just keep taking my allergy meds and useing Aleve for sinus headaches which I seem to get when the heat goes on in our house. This year my doctor prescribed Rhinacort nasal spray too. It says I have allergy rhinitis, The heat causes me to have a dry nose at night, I have been useing Ayr at the tip of my nostril so I do not smell it. The heat in our car affects me the same way. shirleyann > Ellen, I just keep taking my allergy meds and useing Aleve for sinus > headaches which I seem to get when the heat goes on in our house.

I got some Simply Saline gel and it has the ciliary friendly preservatives.

I guess it works much like a filter as I cannot smell fumes like at the gas station. I do not know why but those fumes make me feel nasuea. shirleyann The spray has bzk in it (as do most nasal sprays), not the gel. > Doesn't Ayr have benzykonanium chloride in it as a preservative?
