I've read stories about sinus conditions clearing up when the
individual moved to the beach(where the air is relatively salty).
Has anyone developed a good breathing device that produces a "salty
mist" that you can inhale?

I was doing well and last Friday started feeling bad, lethargic, very
congested and a horrible headache.  My doctor wasn't in so I couldn't see
him until today.  Sure enough, I have a really bad infection on the side the
surgery was done.  I was so disheartened but he gave me an ...

Hello fellow Sinus Sufferers!
I just found this newsgroup and glad you are here. If you live in the Dallas
area, you know that the past 2 weeks have been really bad for allergy/sinus
problem prone people. The temperature goes from 50 to 90 like a yo-yo. That

I am a chronic sinusitis sufferer (since 1996), I've had over 5
surgeries, and I'm only 15. I also have Cystic Fibrosis, which is the
main reason I have the sinus problems. Anyway, it's been so bad that
I've been on antibiotics pretty much since 2000. Problem is now, I'm

Personally, my sinusitis always causes bronchitis. I'm just wondering
though, can sinusitis lead to pneumonia?

I've been to every doctor in town. Now I've even been to Mayo and still
they say my sinuses look normal and there is nothing that can be done.

closed up so I can't breath at all and sometimes both if you can

I posted the following in a previous post, but wanted to post it again
for those who may not have seen it and keep having chronic problems.

In February I had my deviated septum corrected.  It did improve my
breathing over the summer, but I still felt a "presence" in my sinuses
deep inside my head and going down my throat.  When I blew, nothing
came out, and if it did, it was hard and dry.

I feel no pain in the mouth, after I drink some tea, and go out to rinse my
mouth with water, then spit, and it is red, and feel the metallic taste of
bleeding in the mouth.
