would help to hydrate mucous membranes in the lining of the nose? mine
are bone dry and just won't moisten up. it's miserable. i use saline
spray all day long - seems like every 1/2 hour i'm hitting the bottle.

I am thinking of trying the hydrogen peroxide solution for irrigation
- anyone know where I can buy it over the counter in the UK? I've done
a search of this group to find out but to no avail!

occastionally. I feel a little weak.
Is it more often recommended to stay home and rest or, if you are
someone who worksout (aerobics and free weights), to go to the gym

I am scheduled for surgery on the 30th of this month.  I have severe
sinus polyps and they tell me that the surgery will take about 4
hours.  I am terrified at this point!
I am a single Mom and have no idea what to expect in regards to

and tasting.  This has been going on for almost 2 years now and I'm pretty

I finally made an appointment to see Dr. Freedman at the Mayo Clinic
next month. Its probably going to cost me well over 1500.00 but I've
had it. I hate having my sinuses dictate my days and if they can help,
