Irrigators

Hello all,
I've been using the Grossan irrigator for about one week with breathe
eze.
One side (sinus) seems to respond well, now I can at least get some
sleep.
The other side however, is completely "stuffed". It seems when I use
the
device the flow simply shunts straight to my other nostril.
I have a little more pressure on the stuffed side sinus, re: headache.
Which I've had forever, treated with ibuprofin
I have read on this group that a number of users retain the solution
for a period of time often discharging at an inopportune moment. I
have none of this.
I blow my nose lightly after and that's it. This implies, that maybe
the solution is not even getting to the sinus cavity.
I'm using the prescribed amount of fluid per side three times per day,
with the pressure a little higher than recommended. Still to no
effect.
Anyone with any insights as to how I can loosen this stuff and get a
full flush?

Thank for any input,
Charles

If one side of your head is completely stuffed, but the other side is
not, that could be a sinus problem that requires medical attention.  See
a physician.

Unfortunately with sinusitis, one week of irrigation is just getting
started. For me - when I began irrigating with warm water my worst sinus
swelling on the totally blocked left side would never improve or clear. It
was only after I switched to room temperature water (cooler than my body)
that the irrigation slowly began to shrink the sinus that was totally
blocked. This process took 2 months at 2-3 irrigations daily. Eventually
using Flonase helped ease the swelling somewhat but I still have to irrigate
daily or the swelling comes right back and my nose blocks back up. Be
patient and keep irrigating.

Hello, "augustwestern" ,
I feel you are running out of times, because it sounds
as if you have large polyps on one side. If you have
polyps, get them out before they get any larger, because
they willnot stop growning - no, not ever, until they
start hanging out of your nose . . . You are appeasing
the symptoms and doing nothing at all about the cause.
I feel you are a ticking time-bomb of eventual, real
misery and medical need.
