Sinusitis FAQ

Desperate for some encouraging advice after 3 surgeries!!!!!

Question:

This is my first time to this newsgroup, as I have sought it out in desperation. I have had three endoscopic surgeries over the last 6 years, each in a different sinus area.  The most recent one was two weeks ago for scope out the ethnoids.  I have had one debridement but am still experiencing the same symptons I had before surgery: excessive post-nasal drip, bad breath, swelling/pressure near the top of my nose between the eyes.  I have also experienced a light-headed sensation each time I physically exert myself doing things like working out.  I have also found myself feeling tired more often.  I am trying to continue what I consider to me a normal routine because I don’t want to fall into a cycle of laziness. The only advice my ENT has given me is to use a saline spray every 3-4 hours. Is there an end of the road to this?  Can anyone tell me what I should expect over the next month or so?  Is there anything I can do to help myself in addition to the advice my ENT has provided?  I’ve heard about a recipe for a "sinus-wash" involving baking soda and pickling salt.  (Where can I find pickling salt?)  Does anyone have this recipe and advice on how to apply it? Any advice and encourage would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
