I know that I hold my head all the way back when I irrigate.  My
sinuses take on a full load of saline solution and then I clean
everything out.  I know that when I was younger, you could really see
the line on my face where just below was the duct that went between my
eyes and my nose.  That duct use to become so inflammed..........
Sometimes, my eyes would just blurr because my lower orbitals were so
inflammed and I was in so much discomfort.  This was in the early
80s.  There was no internet then and I just ketp on going from doctor
to doctor to doctor.  I became older and learned a lot through trial
and error.  The sinuses now work.  I compare the discomfort that I had
to a Chinese water torture.  It just slowly drives you mad.  I read an
article about the anxiety/stress problems of people who have empty
nose syndrome.  I guess there is anxiety/stress with anyone who has
severe sinus problems.  Years of sleep apnea conditions and waking up
with an entire nostril closed.   I guess now the main thing I have to
live with is a lot of Post Nasal Drip.  I can live with that as long
as my sinuses  keep running and my passages are mostly open.
