Okay...now I'm confused.

The Health board is for health related topics, yes?

So if we are feeling lousy can't we come here to see what others have done about similar issues in the past?

Or just complain about feeling lousy?

Why would you search her posts to find out if this is the first time she mentioned Sinusitis? Chat Icon

Sorry if it hits too close to home, Deb, but it seems like you are unfairly jumping on Racheee here.

did the curry work???

I just got rid of a 2 week bout of it, but I expect it will be back. I usually resort to chinese mustard in my soup, but I'd like to try something new.

it works better than any sinus clearer I've ever tried. gotta love "natural" remedies.


ETA: yeah, that got really weird...

The curry did help, it was lovely and spicy and it cleared my head up a bit. I do suggest spicy food if you have a cold.

I hate curry with a firey passion. Maybe I'll go find some jalepenos.

But seriously, my head is THROBBING.

And every time I blow my nose it makes a high pitched squeak that only I can hear...and maybe my dog.

do you like chinese mustart? wonton soup with chinese mustard. give it a go.

it's one of those things where you just gotta wait until it runs it's course.

it's a battle I face at least twice a winter...and it's left me with permanent vision damage (turned in to pink eye which damaged my corneas)

I do like Chinese Mustard, but I prefer Wasabi. Thats quite the sinus clearer. What about (whats it called....) thats stuff you drink with hot water...THERAFLU? That works good also. I didn't know you could get vision damage from sinusitis....

neither did I Chat Icon

the infection traveled from my sinuses to my chest to my eyes, and the doctors think there may still be live (but dormant) cells in my eyes, which flair up every time I have a sinus infection, further effecting my vision.

it's awesome.

Excellent. I will try all three.

I used a saline spray (like Ocean).

It helps to loosen up all of the stuff in there--I also saw on Oprah once a Neti Pot, Google it, they are supposed to help!

Feel better fellow sinus sufferers!

Definitely do the NeilMed sinus rinse. This is what Deb is also referring to. It literally hoses the junk out of your sinuses. It's awesome.

My DH suffers from extreme sinusitis as well, the ENT suggested surgery, but he doesn't want it. Have any of you gotten really bad clogged ears from it?

Yes. Has he tried the Sinus Rinse?

The surgery is rough because it might not work and either way I think it only lasts 5 years. I have honestly been able to keep my sinus symptoms well controlled by taking my allergy medicines religiously and using the Sinus Rinse. Sinus rinsing is amazing! I'm a believer!

No he hasn't tried it yet, I wiill go get it for him today
