Question:
why does having had root canal rule out the possibility of gum and tooth as a symptomatic reaction to condition?

Just because the tooth had a root canal doesn’t mean it can’t be infected again. Root canals can fail. I know that from experience. It’s possible for infection to spread from an upper tooth to the sinuses. I would have an endodontist check it out.
Response:
Hi Mike…..I should add, The dentist x-rayed and found no problems with the tooth. Additionally, I’ve had many abcessed teeth and know the usual symptons quite well. I did have acute sinusitis on that side below my eye (on the outer cheek) 15 years ago. It’s funny…. I’ve had root canals done, gum surgery(due to a suspected infection at the root of the root-canaled tooth….turned out neg.), and even a couple of implants put in, where the tooth was just in front of the tooth that is now bothering me………Has me wondering now, if what I and my dentist thought was tooth problems, was in fact my sinus acting up…. Regards….Jon
Response:
I had a sort of a salty chemical small for maybe the first three weeks. It has gone away since but that may be due to the fact that I lowered the salt content slightle. Are you using canning salt (i.e. with no additives)? Table salt has iodine and other undesirable stuff. <Johnny1…@webtv.net> wrote in message

Fatigue can have 101 causes including taking an antibiotic. Pulsatile irrigation ( Hydro Pulse ) does enter the sinuses. But that is not the primary function . It is to restore the cilia so that the cilia will remove the sinus material. Yes, you need to avoid romance for 20 minutes after pulsatile irrigation.

Read the FAQ on the "whale blow". Not something you want to do regularly, but for those occasions when you don’t want to drip all over everything in public ….
Response:
I’ve found if I just bend over and turn my head in different directions after the irrigation it all drains out. I think it can go into the maxillaries alongside the nose and needs to get "tipped over" to drain them out. Dr G says whale blow is bad for the ears. Mike Murray mikemur…@despammed.com wrote:

Yes, that’s essentially what I do — exhaling lightly through the nose while doing it — I think that’s what they call the "whale blow" — my understanding is it’s bad if you blow too hard, and Dr. G mentions the saline is therapeutic anyhow, so why go to all that effort to get rid of it? But there are *those* times when you really want to, for social reasons. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->Mike Murray mikemur…@despammed.com wrote: ><< On Wed, 7 May 2003 16:00:16 -0400, "Preesi" <pre…@comcast.net> >wrote: >>Well, I bent over to pick something up and water drizzled out of my nose >>onto the carpet! >>This was 1 hour after Id irrigated!

The fatigue can last a long time, and if you try to ignore it by coming back too soon, can lead to a relapse. Make sure you get plenty of sleep, even after the overt symptoms have vanished. >2// Does irrigation actually go into the sinuses themselves, or just wash >away the mucus in the "hallway" of the nose?
It can do either. My experience is that the better my sinus health, the more solution seems to be temporarily retained and drains out later (usually within a few minutes). I’m assuming much it is actually in the sinuses, but, obviously, it’s hard to know.

Okay, sound advice! > >2// Does irrigation actually go into the sinuses themselves, or just wash > >away the mucus in the "hallway" of the nose? > It can do either.

Well, I bent over to pick something up and water drizzled out of my nose onto the carpet! This was 1 hour after Id irrigated! So Im making sure to tip over and let the rest come out so its not stagnating! I also wore a mask to the grocery store yesterday. I walked around the supermarket with a mask on…People clutched their children and recoiled at my presence…I started getting a complex….and profusely explained to them "IM NOT CONTAGIOUS!, IM NOT, IM NOT, IM NOT!!!" LMAO! Im the least self conscious person I know! Ill wear that mask for a year if it means NO sinus/ear infections! — My Personal Site http://mywebpages.comcast.net/preesi/Begin.html (Hear me Bitch, Moan and Complain, Cook One of My Recipes, Play One of My Games, Peruse My Links THEN, Sign My Guestbook Dagnammit!

Im sure no one will answer me but here goes. 1// Today Im wide open, yet I feel super tired.. Does the fatigue happen even when you have no sinus symptoms? 2// Does irrigation actually go into the sinuses themselves, or just wash away the mucus in the "hallway" of the nose?
