Chronic Sinus Problems, And Now This! Posted: 01-28-05 09:13am
I've had chronic sinus problems for the
past 3 years.
I first started having sinus infections.
My ent found that I had a deviated septum
and an infected cyst. He corrected both
and it seemed to work for about a year and
a half, then I started having infections
again and have had them since, but this
time they were different. The sensation
I have now is not the typical pressure and
mucous drainage one would get in a normal
sinus infections. Instead it feels like
somone put glue down my nose and I am
constantly draining into my throat.
I've had a 2nd head ct that showed the
drainage into my lower maxillary sinuses,
but nothing else. My ent says that it is
a staph infection that is taking advantage
of conditions in my nose. I've been on
antibiotics of many sorts and none seem to
help. I've also been on a saline nasal
rinse at the recomendation of my ent and
it does seem to help relieve the symptons
somewhat, but only for an hour or so.
Also, and I don't know if this is related,
but at the same time I have been having
the sinus problems, I also have been
having problems with my right eye waking
up all dry and puffy, every morning.
Just so you know, i've been tested for
allergies 3 times. All have come back as
negative. Also, i've had the air in my
house tested and it didn't find anything
significant.
This is driving me insane! I'm the only
one in my household that is having these
problems. Any ideas on what is going on
with me?

Hi, i have major problems with
sinitis/rhinitis/polpys and i too have
problems with my eyes, i have noticed that
when i now blow my nose my eyes weep, this
is a new thing for me, and also they can
get very very runny or just as dry and i
have to rub them causing them to swell, i
was allergic to everything they tested me

etc , i think air con caused my illness at
my last job, as i totally react to it and
central heating hope this helps you and
