Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / February 2008Is this sinusitis and could it be from allergy.
Hi. I have chronic sinusitis for 3 months now. Symptoms that I experience are congested (stuffed) nose, headache and slight fever. All blood and nose tests are normal except IgE test where it says that I have 305,00 ng/ml (normal is up to 100 ng/ml). I now wait for the allergies tests. My doctor doesn't want to send me to ENT specialist because this an allergy mater.Since I have congested (stuffed) nose, headache and sometimes slight fever and this symptoms last for 3 months.My doctor says that slightly higher body temperature (99.14) can't be from allergy. Also, I am 21 years old and this is the first time I experience this symptoms for such a long time(almost 3 months) Is it really possible that all these symptoms come from some kind of allergy? What kind of allergy could it be that lasts for 3 months? Can allergy raise my body temperature because no matter how well I dress, I always feel cold? I somewhere heard that there is an allergy to cold weather. Does this exist? Maybe I have that because symptoms I have are in this last 3 winter months. > Hi.

What has your doctor tried? any inhalers ? i use nasonex and have been a recent convert to nasal irrigation with a neti pot. I could kick myself for not trying it sooner! > Hi.

Use Afrin sparingly plus some Pseudophed or Actifed. That should get the membranes to dry up.

But after weeks of allergy, the cilia become exhaused and then infection takes place. The infection is a factor of cilia immobility. Answer: get the cilia moving. If you use a product that contains benzalkonium that may impair cilia further. > Hi. I have chronic sinusitis for 3 months now.

If it is a thick clear, springy mucus, then you have a biofilm infection. Bacteria have within their suite of toxins and enzymes the ability to modulate the immune system and cause inflammation that looks like allergy. Try this experiment. Get some pecans. Shell them and save the center membranes from between the nutmeats. Either hold the center membrane in your mouth or grind it and the shells in a blender and then sive out the fine red powder and hold it in your mouth. If you feel the the pecan tannins start to pull goo out of your sinuses, then you have an infection by a bacteria that creates a fibrin mucus. Look at the previous posts on tannin tea wash. > > Hi.

[quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > - Show quoted text - I find this fascinating and will not fail this weekend ( as I did last ) to procure pecans in their shells. I have done some tea rinsing. Also, another remedy , mega dosing Vit D3 gel caps, 10,000 per day. I cannot say I noticed much since the very first rinse. That seemed to unlock some strange gunk. I am trying again. I am the one doing the infusions for semi low IgG 1, 3 and I am actually still on Omnicef from last infection from before getting back on infusions. I have rinsed for years with alkolol and salt/baking soda. And, I do as Judy, low dose Biaxin per day. And,...sadly, I have felt awful the last 4 days. I think it is these biofilms. My whole head feels flush. Like an allergy type thing ( which to some degree I know there is a systemic annoyance there) but yes, that sludge/glue that wont budge in there. As always, right side stuffs up, turbinate swollen, will not abate. This round has me a bit worried. I thought the infusing was going to be the answer again. I think I have the worst sinuses period! I only infuse with 250ml of Gammunex. I asked the doc if I should up it, he said no. I did not push. I wonder if it is enough ( Judy, you out there, any opinion....? Wont hold you to it...I weigh 205lbs.) . Then again, I wonder if it is just incurable. Period. Although with infusions I can al least improve. Lord, I could be bed ridden my sinusitis gets so bad. Theonly thing I have not tried that now and again I see folks advocate is a complete gluten free diet ( and cut out sugar too). Might have to give that a go. truehawk <truehawk2@yahoo.com> wrote in news:29acb283-b870-4514-a150- b9089b629e30@62g2000hsn.googlegroups.com: > Try this experiment. Get some pecans.

I am trying this now, but I was under the impression that the membrane bit was the skin between the but and the exterior shell, though someone said the piths (my term) would be next best thing. so I am trying the piths, as the shop didnt have the pcans in the shell. so is it the skins or the pith that's best? and how long would I hold these in the mouth for.... all day (like in the novel "catch22" - "Then Orr found two horse chestnuts somewhere and slipped those in until Yossarian detected them and snapped at him again to take the crap [sic] apples out of his mouth. Orr grinned and replied they were not crab apples but horse chestnuts and that they were not in his mouth but in his hands [...]. (300)" etc ta > truehawk <truehawk2@yahoo.com> wrote in news:29acb283-b870-4514-a150- > b9089b629e30@62g2000hsn.googlegroups.com: [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > ta replying to my own post. I think now the highly sought for membrane is the but inbetween the two halves that traverses both of them (at right angles). Such said membrane is missing from these shelled, havled, membrane-removed pieces that I have.
