Feeling Bad Again LONG

Question:

I have had a 3 month battle with sinusitis.  It’s something I haven’t dealt with for 15 years until now.  I have been on antibiotics.  Augmentin seemed to help a great deal, along with ginger root tea with honey and a positive attitude.  I am now back to square one.  I cannot see my doctor until Tuesday, due to the holiday on Monday.  I finished up all of my meds this week and thought it was finally over.  It’s not.  I am getting very frustrated, as I did when I became sick initially around 20 something years ago (I was a teen).  I felt better for a couple of days and now it is back. I feel like crying but I can’t do that because it makes my sinuses hurt worse.  I told my doc that we had a good 15 year run after the last sinus surgery, although I had to lose two teeth eventually, due to the surgery. He will probably order a CT scan, and at this point, GREAT!  I just want this over but I do not want another surgery.  Who does?  I understand it is less complicated now.  The packing and being put to sleep are the two things I absolutely hated the two times before. I am sorry, just venting.  I am drinking my ginger root tea now.  It seems to help.  Could just be a warm comfort. Vicki

Believe me, I know how you feel. Aren’t you the one who said that she lives on a farm? Maybe you should start to think about relocating.  If you’re having bad allergies from the farm, getting away from there may be the only solution. Of all the self-treatments, relocation was what helped me the most. — Steven D. Litvintchouk Email:  sdlit…@earthlinkNOSPAM.net Remove the NOSPAM before replying to me.

I had a sinus infection, it started before Thanksgiving. Bloody nose and headaches. I went to my MD and she gave me nose spray, Allegra D and an antibiotic. I saw her in December again and she gave me more of the same. It is just clearing up now. I have never had one this bad before. shirley
