Hey guys, You will not be happy to know that i am new to this group. { A deviation from the other groups i am part of. In all those groups a new member always brings happiness to the group }. I have only one problem. either of my nostrils is blocked most of the times. I thought this was due to cold and kept postponing my visit to the doctor for couple of years !!  i  finally visited the doctor { after being bombarded by my mother, with emotional pleas } couple of days back  and i am diagnosed to have bilateral frontal and maxillary sinusitis. Ok … what now ? Just like most of you guys out there i guess. My quesiton is…. 1) is this disease curable… or will it keep recurring again and again.. 2) what is this "irrigation", that other people in this group are talking about ? bye, nagendra

      Hi!     I can’t recall any one of us having been       cured of sinusitis.  It’s an ongoing affliction which       can be very painful at times when one of your sinuses       really comes under attack from infection.  So!       Come join the happy band! > 2) what is this "irrigation", that other people in > this group are talking about ? > bye, > nagendra

         Irrigation is rinsing your nasal cavities with an          isotonic or hypertonic solution of  additive-free          ordinary salt.  It keeps the yellow stuff moving          and helps you avoid congestion, swelling, the          build-up of pressure and gets you into the good          practice of nasal hygiene.  If you can raise the          folding money, you can rinse with Breath-ease,          SinuSal, and Sinusal XL.  It’s your choice.          For a good method, see – - – - – http://www.allergyasthmaimm.com/library/saline.htm          > – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –

Actually a number of people in this newsgroup have reported being cured, including the FAQ author.

And many of us not "cured" (in the sense that we never get another recurrence)  have reported shortening the duration of the flareup and severity of the symptoms.
