Can I buy this unit at a pharmacy, Walgreens, or other store ? Or do I have
to order it online ? It says 10-14 days on their website, I hate to have to

Just wondering if the Water Pick from like Wal-Mart would have all the
attachments that I need for irrigation ? Or what else would I need ? I think

kind do I need to buy ?

I have a deviated septum and am considering surgery.  I would like
to get a second opinion before proceeding.  Can anyone recommend
an ENT around Columbus, Ohio for my second opinion?  Otherwise, are

Used about 10 times. Not using it anymore, sinus issues seem to be solved, not
sure how, but this appliance is no longer being used and I could use the

   After doing many tests including  a CAT of my sinuses, he recommends

How long does it take to recover from 2 years of heavy BZK exposure
through OTC saline, Nasonex, and Afrin?  Could there be irreversible

I am switching to Rhinocort, Breathe Ease XL, and much reduced Afrin

Ok,
Here is my problem, I have been fighting sinus problems for the past year or
so. To start off, I had Hay fever as a child and after the age of 16 it has
gone away.

I am scheduled to have my 2nd sinus surgery on 5/5/04--right antral window
and subcutaneous turbinate resection.  I had sinus surgery in March 2000 on
all my sinuses and had a crooked septum fixed.  Since then I've had

I wonder if somebody has had any experience with this problem. My 78
year old mother feels fine during the day, but gets some terrible
coughing spells at night. Her nose and mouth get very dry while she is
sleeping which causes her to cough when she wakes up. But if she

I've had pretty bad allergies for years.  I thought Allegra was working  
OK, but then I switched to Zyrtec last week.  It has worked really great
