Sinusitis FAQ

OT The Headache Saga Continues

Question:

It was better for a few days but now I am convinced it is sinusitis again. My ENT, bless his soul, wouldn’t make me come back in since I will be having the CT scan next Friday and since I have only so many referrals he didn’t want me to waste one since I have to see him the week after the CT scan.  I had called his nurse early, and he was in surgery.  She said she could call me in an antibiotic but nothing for the pain.  I hate taking pain meds anyway, even though I have tried the 800mg Ibuprofen with no relief.  Anyway when he got in his office he told her to call me in an antibiotic called Omnicef and some Darvocet for my pain.  I finally took one of the Darvocet and gradually my head eased off, not totally, but better than it was.  I’ve known this doctor for 20 years or more and there is one thing about him, he is not going to let you be in pain.  He knows me and if I ask for somethng he knows I must be hurting. He has problems with his sinuses too and knows how it feels.  Anyway, I got some help and I did ask the pharmacist how these meds mix with the other meds I am taking.  She said I would just probably be really sleepy, but I was no more sleepy than I had been.  Just glad I have gotten some relief. Thanks for listening.  Anyone who has ever had a bad headache knows how crippling it can be. Vicki — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

And I’m one of those people, Vicki.  I feel so bad for you!  {{{{{Vicki}}}}} I hope the meds help you and that they find something they can fix easily. Let us know what happens after the CT scan.  Thinking of you. Love, Di

Sorry you’re feeling rotten Vicki. Do changes in the weather affect your sinuses? Humidity? My sinuses have always given me problems. — Doug

Sounds like vasomotor rhinitis. Changes in the humidity or air temperature can result in nasal obstuction/congestion or runny (watery) nasal discharge. Chip — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

Yes the weather changes do bother me at times.  Plus, after Katrina, there is all kinds of stuff in the air.  My ENT said he has seen more people in the last months than he has ever seen in the same amount of months. Vicki — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm
