I never was prone to sinus infections but
2 yr ago I got a big one that has
continued on and off since. Aling with
infection it created a syndrome of very
excessive mucus. My mouth is always full
nothing comes out my nose anymore.
Currently I have no infection however the
mucus problem is still excessive. I have
been to 2 ent's and allergiest (no
allergy's) and have followed religiously
the ent protocal nasal washes , flonase ,
astelin etc. I have hbp so use of
antihistimines are limited. I also have
lupus and the ent that will be doing a
septoplasty & ethmoidectomy does not
think the surgery will stop the excessvie
mucus but will help me manage it better
sinc ei do have a right side deviation
that everything gets hung up in that area
so I have a awful time clearing stuff out.
I use mucinex also to thin it when it
gets thick. I take a lot of meds but
drs. Ahve ruled out the meds are causing
this since I was taking them prior to this
problem. Is this a autoimmune response
or what. I hate prednisone and my rheumy
has put me on methotrexate 2.5mg 3 tabs a
week to try to help. But it's not doing
a thing I blow up fast on pred hence the
metho. Any suggestions? Have you ever
heard of this problem? I'm desperate I
can barely leave the house it's so bad.
I even wake up at night choking it out.
