Well, I had an interesting visit at the doctor's the other day and
wanted to relay what happened. He said something, dropped it, and now I
am really scared. First, I am 34, female, and generally in great
health. I had been taking Flonase for over a year. I quit taking it in

Here are my symptoms.  There are small bumps on the side of my nose,
just above where the nostril flares out.  One on each side.  It appears
as though there're growths on the inside of the nostrils that manifest
on the outside.  When I pinch the nostils gently at the tip of my nose

This is an update to previous posts.  I had posted previously that
largely out of desperation I experimented on myself by using the
antibiotic Cephalexin in my Hydropulse.  I had tried irrigation for
lengthy periods using both isotonic and hypertonic solution, with

Hi I was here a couple of months ago with lots of questions as I was
struggling with a sore throat, bad breath and PND.  I was being treated
with antibiotics for what my ENT thought was a sinus infection.  The
treatment didn't resolve the issue and my catscan was fine save for a

I was hoping some of the experts on this group could help me decipher
what my sinus problem is.  So in advance I would like to thank all
people who respond to this post.  Also I'll try and write my problem
down in point form to make it easier to understand.  So here goes

how substantiated is the above theory? Is it common for this to happen
with chronic sinusitis?
what are the best ways to avoid this?
I keep reading the praise for irrigation but find it very difficult, I

Today the wind is blowing.  My sunuses are also running like crazy.
The run so fast that I cannot get a tissue quick enough to prevent the
run to drip from my lip onto the floor.  This has been a long standing
issue with me.  I took a Claritin about 20 minutes ago.  It will start

In case Dr. Grossan is interested in suggestions for improvement to the

HydroPulse and attachments in when we go traveling.  Probably available

I've had severe head/sinus problems for several years now.  7 years ago
I had a very severe episode that totally reduced my brain power and
gave me head pain for several weeks.  I couldn't do simple 2+2 math
during that time, and the symptoms got worse when I tried to

I just irrigated with my homemade mixture for the first time.  I found
the cost of premixed stuff way too high for frequent use, especially
when I had everything in the house to make my own for pennies.

Got such cough lately though here is tropical, since my nose is allergetic
to cold weather and dust, so I am concerned that every minute I may
get asthma. What are the early signs of sinusitis's conversion into asthma?

Does anyone else have a cycle of sinus problems...mine goes something
like this...good day and then wake up next morning with sticky clear
mucous and then it gets worse throughout the day.  By evening totally
