OK, surgery two weeks away....
I got a cold this past week, and for the FIRST time in several years
it DID NOT develop into a sinus infection. I thought that it had

I just ordered a Hydro Pulse Irrigator in the hope, based on
testimonials I've read, that it might be the hayfever cure I've been
looking for in vain for forty years (apologies if hayfever is seen as

tsp baking soda in my Hydro Pulse.  Regular salt I am fine with isotonic,
but *hypertonic* this burns BAD.
What kind of salt can I use that doesn't burn as bad before I get more

How often can i use Neo-Synehrine, the short acting stuff without getting
hooked? Once a day, once a week?
It's the only thing that helps ... while waiting to see the new
allergest/evaluate other surgery ...

Hello.... A number of years back, I had some minor pain problems around
my one eye, particularly if I applied pressure to the eyeball, or
strained to look upwards and inwards. (I'm plagued with ethmoid
infections) ...My eyes are fine (according to the eye Doc.), so it's

does anyone use a humidifier in their bedroom to help with their congestion?
How long will it take the grossan irrigator to help my swollen turbinates?
I have swollen turbinates and after undergone 3 surgeries, there's also no
allergies. I'm now looking for an alternative. I am ...

Does anyone have an idea if you are more likely to get sinusitis
problem in anextremely dry geographically location or in a more humid
one?

Anybody try these for chronic rhinitis?  I use Breathe-Right strips for my
bad valves but my turbinates are swollen all the time too, so I am out of
luck there.
