Sinusitis FAQ

The #$#%#% Bug is Back !!!!

Question:

I’m sick again !!!! Achy, tense/nervous feeling, tired, with only a slight, runny nose. I had this same thing 2 weeks ago. Maybe it never left.  It was just asleep for a week in my sinuses. This sucks !!!!! Looks like I’ll be sleeping alot to try to get rid of this $%^$^ germ. Tony

Response:

Oh no, Tony, not again!  This sounds like what I had 2 weekends ago and I have noticed it always comes with a change in the outside temps.  Do you think possibly the dampness in the weather could be causing it? I was supposed to go to an outdoor  candle service tonight but the weather is cold and snowy so I am opting to try to stay healthy and not go. I do hope you are feeling much better soon… smiles, Elise

Tony, have you tried any of those zinc products for colds?  I swear they work great for me.  The best one seemed to be Zicam.  Hope you feel better soon. Tono

Thanks, Elise. I’m feeling better tonight after taking a Sudafed, Motrin, and 0.5 mg clonazepam. Hopefully I’ll sleep well tonight and my body will surround this germ and make it surrender :  ) It’s damp and cool here also but it’s supposed to start warming up each day this week. Thanks, Tony

Thanks, Deb. I’m feeling a little better tonight. I’ll just have to rest and give my body time to heal. Not much else I can do. Thanks, Tony

This is some kind of germ.  My whole body has that "sick" feeling. It’s similar to the feeling of anxiety which is why I absolutely hate being sick. I’ll just have to rest and let my immune system perform its magic :  ) Thanks, Tony

I think I might go on a Zinc hunt tomorrow if I feel like crap when I wake up. Thanks for the tip. Tony

I’m sick again !!!!

sinus infections tend to be chronic and require months of antibiotic therapy. An ent would also recommend surgery to drain the sinus cavity to allow release of the negative pressure-I don’t advocate it, as I have seen too many failures of this invasive procedure-but do get back on the antibiotic and stay on it for at the very least two months LM

I saw an ENT for my chronic sinusitis many moons ago. He told me to use Rhinocort for a month and to come back for surgery if it did not work. I knew at that moment that it WOULD work love Meryl

Response:

Tony Didn’t the temps drop considerably in your area?  Sometimes the sudden air pressure change can mess up your sinuses for a couple of days.  I can always tell when we have low barometric pressure by my headaches.   Hope you feel better soon! {{Tony}} Missy

Depending on the type of germ. If it is a bacterial infection, you do need antibiotics. If it is a viral, then bed rest, liquids and blankets. Don’t forget that our lovely germs tend to hang on longer than 3-5 days. It is possible to be the same germ, then it could be one of a thousand more. Take care and keep warm. Julie

Oh, Tony, I am so sorry!!!!!  That really sucks.  Believe it or not, I haven’t been sick this winter.  The first time ever. So sorry you are sick again!! (((((Tony)))))

My sinuses feel pretty good. I just feel tired, achy and have a constant, tense/nervous feeling. I felt pretty good when I woke up this morning but it’s back again. Time for a nap. Thanks, Tony

I think it’s viral.  My nephew had the same symptoms. I thought I beat this virus about 2 weeks ago.  Maybe my immune system became weakened and the virus started spreading in my body again. Who knows ?  Maybe it mutated and I have a new strain that my body hasn’t learned to defend against yet. I’ll have to clean all of the cups in my bathrooms and stuff like that :  ) Tony

I’ll live.  I just hate being sick. You lucked out this Winter.  Everyone I know caught one bug or another. Thanks, Tony

The most important thing is to start it as soon as you feel the very first symptoms.  At this point it may or may not help?  BTW, the lozenges make me feel nauseous. Tono
