Oh no Storm that is awful, I use the SinuCleanse system and it helps some for regular sinus problems. https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/chronic-sinus-problems.63655/ A few other PS''ers find it helps them too.
I am sorry, it is frustrating! When I am really suffering I use a nose spray but you are only suppose to use that for 3 days; ahh, the fun days of not being able to breath and the head painI sometimes use a humidifier too; hope you find relief soon!

Skip, I just tried the syringing method, my head feels a little clearer....I don''t have a bulb, so I used a medical syringe without the needle, seemed to work fine.
Storm, I think they sell that stuff at Walgreens and Wild Oats. I never heard of nursery water; I would have asked the same thing. hehee Gosh, I hope you feel better. How is Wifey? You 2 are so cute!Date: 1/11/2008 4:44:36 PM

They didnt have the SinuCleanse so picked up one of the bottle based ones too try.
What was funny was I was looking for distilled water, saw nursery water in a dozen different places but thought nope that's not it.
Then asked where they hide the distilled water.... woops nursery water is the same thing... one lady customer said no kids huh? I said thank God! lol
Good stuff! Glad you are feeling a little better.Date: 1/11/2008 5:30:59 PM

storm, after years of these problems, i resort to the following:
boil water, put boiled water into bowl to create steam, add a drop of pine or fir, lavendar, and eucalyptus essential oil, put head over bowl, breathe deeply with mouth shut, put towel over head and bowl to trap steam if necessary and cool enough.
use essential oils sparingly....take care not to burn your sensitive membranes.
opens up my sinuses and i repeat as necessary.

ps i also add a bit of tree tea oil essential oil as it is a natural antibacterial agent.

Did your doctor put you on antibiotics?? I started out as a sinus infection at Christmas time and went right into Bronchitis. I still have it. Can''t get rid of this junk. Am on my second dose of antibiotics.
My doctor gave me a really great decongestant nose spray to use, really opens up the nasal passages and unplugs my ears, so I can hear.
I hope you feel better soon sweetie.

Storm,
Zpack, which did nothing, now I am on Levaquin. I can''t take the cillons. So I have to take this stuff.
How do you feel this morning.
Wasn''t it last year, you were so sick too? How do you feel this morning?
Linda

So glad you are feeling better, that is good to hear. I am doing better too. Still have a slight earache, but my asthma is doing better too. Hopefully these antibiotics will knock this junk out, once and for all.
I have been catching up on my sleep too. I guess it is the best thing we can do.
Linda
it really does help...Date: 1/14/2008 1:23:29 AM

Yuck, strm! I''m so sorry you''re sick again!
I have one of the sinus rinses, but I just can''t bring myself to use it. FI is REALLY sick right now, too, so maybe I''ll pawn it off on him!
I sure hope you feel better soon!
Hopefully that is the muck leaving the building and you should feel a lot better soon!Date: 1/14/2008 10:13:28 AM

I spoke too soon however tmi but one side has been running like a fire hose since last night around 1am and keeping me up.
dunno what changed but yuck!
maybe kickback from the decongestants I''m thinking.
I hoping that this will be the last hurrah and get all the gunk out.
