Since a sinus surgery a few years back I have never had a summer sinus
infection. Last winter a Z Pak fixed me up. This time, no way. Working
my way now through 7 days of cephelexin 500 4 times a day and things are
not much better. I rely on sugar and caffeine to have enough energy to
function. I get so sleepy I fall asleep watching tv yet I can't get to
sleep at night and when I do I sleep 5-6 hours. Normally I like 9-10
hours a day. I've tried the Grossan nasal water pik and it is NO help
with the lethargy or headaches.

My doctor has been on vacation so the nurse practitioner has been
handling this. I thought it would be routine as all of my infections
have been since the surgery. Now I am wondering. Come Friday do I call
for aa 3rd Rx or make an appt.. with the ent who did the surgery and
maybe get the sinuses vacuumed out or see what Rx he can offer. Having
wasted 3 weeks of summer is adversely affecting my moods too. And the
sugar aint helping the weight.

OTOH, my wife works with a lady who is experiencing the same thing.
We've had less than 1 inch on rain in July and I wonder if the dryness
is a factor. Any thoughts or insights? BTW, don't think I eat only sugar
and coffee. I eat much fruit and vegetables and whole wheat bread and
almonds growned into a butter and other healthy foods. And I drink
green tea also. I've tried Sudafed but it's not good for my blood
pressure.

Hello,

Antibiotics make fungus worse:

"Blood pressure"? "Weight"?

Sounds as if they have had you on steroids, which also
shorten your life.

The Mayo Clinic has just found that most "sinus" trouble is
fungus. They have a new treatment. It is:
Amphotericin B deoxycholate, nasal lavage wash. Go geet em.

After suffering with multiple sinus infections, year after year, for
decades, I experimented with flooding my nasal passages with a mixture of
diluted 3% hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and kosher salt. In order to flood
my nasal passages and keep them flooded, I keep my forehead pointed
downward. I keep my forehead down for quite a while, hoping that the
anti-infective mixture can get to the infected area(s) within my sinuses and
nasal passages.
.
It works! I have been sinus infection free for about 3 years. I think that I
had chronic infection problems with my turbinates, so flooding my nasal
passages with the anti-infective mixture worked very well, for me, since the
infected areas were fairly easy to reach.
.
I have fully documented my experience and how I did it at Healthboards.com.
There are posts there by people who have tried my "upside down sinus
flooding" and have received either partial relief or total relief. There are
also posts there from those who it hasn't helped, and by those who don't
think that it is a good idea. I have no connection at all with Healthboards.
I use it because I consider it to be the best facility for discussing health
problems on the Internet.
