I was curious about a problem I have had
with my sinus'. I have had a sore throat
and runny nose which led to joint pain for
3 days. Now I just have a stuffy nose,
very dry, as well. Every morning I wake
up I have to clear my throat of a thick,
very sticky, blood "clot". The mucus I
clear from my throat during the day is
very sticky. It is like glue. I have a
sensation of something on my throat all of
the time. I thought maybe another sinus
infection but I don't have sinus pressure
like I have in the past. It's almost
like I am drying up...I have been to the
eye doctor several times for dry eye
syndrome too. Now my nose and throat
too. Any information you have would be
great. I don't like to take antibiotics
if not necessary.

Yeachk...
Yeah those nasty "clots" from the throat
are not fun...
I have to clear one out every morning.
Mine are due to allergies, and even with
claritin and nasal spray and all the other
ideas i've thought of, my allergies still
flare up and I get a sinus infection.
I try to keep on top of them with my meds,
but sometimes (especially when the weather
changes) I get a sinus infection...
It sounds like yours is much worse than
mine....
Wish I could give you more help..
