In January ('05), I had two procedures; septoplasty and ESS
(specifically, maxillary  antrostomy).  During recovery, I developed a
hole in my septum.  I could hear whistling which prompted me to do a
little more research and found that a hole can cause this.  I can

The bottle of Breathe-Ease I have says to use 1 tsp per pint (473 cc) of
water for irrigation.
The packets of Breathe-Ease I have say to use 1 tsp per 500 cc of water.
The manual for my HydroPulse says to add one tsp to "one pint (500cc)" of

I go to get the results Monday, early.  I have had 2 sinus surgeries before
but now I have panic disorder.  I am begging the doc to do anything but
surgery.  I don't know how possible that is.
Anyone who prays, I am asking for th

Ever feel congssted in your larynx and trachea due to thick phlegm?
When I feel that way, I find that doing a *lot* of nasal irrigation is
helpful.  The reason is that during and after irrigation, enough of the
saline fluid leaks down into my airway to moisten the airway and ...

I've had year-round post nasal drip now for the past 2 years
ever since a case of very bad sinusitis.
It chokes me at night and I cannot sleep.
I have had several laser turbinate reductions done but the post

Got my nose opened up after a 1.5 year infection. Still putting
antibiotics up my nose.
Unfortunately we are starting back into a summer pollution pattern

I've been experiencing really bad lightheadedness recently, and I
wanted to see if anyone else has ever shared my symptoms...I'd feel
better if I knew they were common for sinus infections or general
sinusitis.

I'm interested to know if anyone else has had any sort of leg weaknesses
whilst having a bad sinus spell.
A week ago I played football (soccer) for an hour or so with no problems at
all.  A couple of days later I started to have sinus problems (the usual

I've been taking 20mg per day in four separate does of 5mg at 8 hour
intervals for a little over two months now. Already experiencing signs
of 'moon face' and have a fat pad forming on my neck at the top of my
spine. The side effects are starting to frighten me.

Ok I have been bouncing in and out of here for about a year now or so
reading about stuff. I finally got a ct scan and it came out horrible. I
have tryed baxin, zithromax and few times, ciffender or how ever you spell
it, and now that new one tequin or something like that? Nothing ...

My name is paminifarm.
I apologise to all of you that I have offended.  - this means EVERYONE.
I can't help it, I am an offensive, obnoxious old bitch.
I am a forging whore, who lies in the name of my god.

Chinese say rhinitis and sinusitis are caused by the Cold in the body,
and beef can insert some Heat to cure this Cold. :P
Is that true? How does western medical theory have a say?
Thank you.

While I am seeking opinions regarding a surgical options for my right

a remedy for the cause of the swelling, that surgury alone will
probably not be the cure.
