You’re in my thoughts. But I would like to suggest one thing: So many sinus sufferers find their symptoms are exacerbated by things in the environment. How about you relocating? Find an extended stay hotel like Residence Inn, and go live for a month in a healthy seacoast community away from pollution. Maybe with pure fresh air your sinuses would feel better. — Steven D.

You are in my thoughts also. I have had five surgeries so far with more to come. Just had another CT Scan done last week. I know what you mean about the panic. Everytime I go see the ENT I get nervous, and right before surgery I get a full blown panic attack. I take xanax when that happens or they give me loads of vercid right after they start to prep me. Let us know what happened with your CT. Good luck. Trudy.

Trudy, I’ll tell you one thing that might make you feel a little better: At my second surgery when they were prepping me, the woman in the bed next to me was being prepped for cancer surgery. And from what they said to her, I gathered this was either her second or third cancer surgery and that her cancer kept recurring. At least very few people die of sinusitis. — Steven D.

Egad. This makes my surgeries seem like a hill of beans.
Response:
Thank goodness for that! I think my fear comes from my very first surgery. It was a pansinusostomy, ethmoidectomy, polypectomy and windows..done under a local by a military doc. They should have put me out for that I later found out. It was horrendous. I much prefer being out now. You are right, there are others that have it so much worse. I ended up with Churg-Strauss Vasculitis after 23 years of Samters Triad and that is way worse than the chronic sinusitis. I remind myself that even though it is pretty bad right now, I am not alone in my suffering. Trudy.
