About a year ago, out of nowhere, I started experiencing serious nasal
congestion whenever I went to lie down, making sleep difficult, even

stop altogether, only to come back, stop, ad return. Steroid-based

I had FESS x 2 in '96 & '98, battled encroaching infections & congestion since

Hi.  Not sure what I have, but have had it for years now.   Possibly

Ordered a Hydro Pulse today , I will let you all know what I think of it
when it arrives. I just wish that it didn't take so long to get as I am
having problems as I type. The people who have ordered them, did it take
7-10 days to get it like they said ?

I have chronic sinus problem and I live in southern CA where the climate is
very dry (and smoggy) which is a deadly combination for my sinus and I'm
