I have read the FAQ, and read many posts, but I wanted to talk about my
specific example, I couldn't find anything concrete..
I have been living with what I guess may be chronic sinusits for a few
years now.. I talked to a MD every year about it, with really not much

Dammit it's been hanging on for 3 weeks now. I almost wish I could rip my
nose off and get a Michael Jackson implant...

I know it is probably the healing process.  I can't remember how long it
took me to feel "normal" again after the last surgery.  I see my surgeon on
Friday morning and plan to ask him about this dull ache on the left side of
my face, where they did the surgery.  I guess I had hoped ...

I used a otc nose spray and it opened me right up. (I only use it 1-2
times a month) But this time a weird looking tan/flesh/meaty thing came
out. Yuk.. It was like a rubberband when I pulled it apart.. I had this
a year ago when I got mad and blew my nose very hard in and out about ...

This is partly related to my other post, and is something I am confused
about..
Whenever I get a bad cold virus these days, even if I have no evident
sinus infection afterwards (as used to happen a few years ago), it

For What It's Worth:
I don't mean to scare anyone but this was in the Obituaries of the
Atlanta Journal-Constitution Tuesday, March 1, 2005 so you can verify
it. It is on the Internet at www.ajc.com page B5.

Can anyone give me an idea of what sinus infections may spread to the
lungs, causing shortness of breath when doing anything more than normal
activities, and bouts of coughing 20 minutes after physical exertion?
Thanks a lot.

I'm curious if anyone has had endoscopic surgery on their sinuses and
how it all went? I have been having sinus problems for some years now,
about 3 years ago a CT Scan found polyps or cysts in my maxillary
sinuses. Coincidentally this was about the same time I started having

I've been lurking for awhile but haven't posted.  I would love to hear
from someone who has been treated with IVIG for chronic sinusitis.  I
have had my first treatment, went off Avelox about two weeks later, and
am now waiting with great anxiety to see what happens.  I haven't been

Whenever my `sinus problem' is bothering me and I have headaches and
feel pressure I also hear a crunchy sound when I turn my head from
left to right or the other way around. It also feels as if `there is
something hard' in the back of my nasal pathway (nasopharynx). Does

I go in for endoscopic sinus surgery on Thursday.  I did all of my
pre-surgery stuff today at the doctor's office, which was basically
discussing the surgery and recovery and what to expect.  Even though this
will be my 3rd sinus surgery (all on the left side) I am a bit anxious ...

After gargling last night it looked like a blood clot came up with some
clear flem.
This morning I feel congested with itchy eyes.
What can it be??

I have a history of sinus infections, though much less problematic
recently. I had a virus recently which I thought I was over, but now I
have symptoms which I think point to sinus infection, but because
there's not much discharge (just congestion, relieved by

I thought that others in this group might find this Yoga exercise as
beneficial as I do for helping to keep the nasal passages clear. I've found
it also helps to prevent the vertigo problem that I can experience on
occasion. (I also occasionally use the Upside Down Method, but I use ...

I have suffered from sinus problems for 30 years and have recently tried
"colloidal silver"(available at health food stores approx $17.00) sprayed in
th enostrils once daily accompanied by an teaspoon taken orally twice
daily -- it works  -there are some websites that can give you ...
