Hi Addy,
I had my sinus surgery over 10 years ago and I don't think it was that bad. The only thing that was bothersome was the plastic tubes that were stitched inside my nostrils to keep them open. I had to go back to the doctor to get them flushed, that was a bit ouchy.
I really to recommend this surgery to any one that is contemplating it especially if one suffers from frequent sinus infections.
Hi Addy-
I hope you and Zoe are feeling better! For the record, I use the Neil Med bottle when I have a bad cold too. I got freaked out by the Neti Pot news because I have always used tap water...even though I think our water is much safer here in MN, I'll be boiling my water first now. I didn't think I would like the feeling either, but it provides so much relief. It is like heaven when you are really stuffed up.

it took me some time to get used to the water pouring out the other side of my nose also, but I guess it helped some. But I threw mine away I don't care how they got the infection after learning about bacteria coming in through the nose and killing people I won't take that chance.. lol taking the Anatomy class last semester and learning about how much bacteria is out there and just trying to get you!!! Oh no!! Lol
I went to see an ENT recently and unfortunately I don't have Sinusitis I have Rhinitis which surgery won't help and there aren't many meds that will even help it. :( Sudden temp changes set me off which is what happens here this time of year, but I did recently find Alka Selzter severe allergy congestion (its new) and it has really helped. I also have emergency doses of prednisone on hand that my ENT gave me for days when my ears are so stuffy they ache..
Hope you get to feeling better soon Addy. Have you tried the really hot bath, shot of Brandy yet?
I feel a bit better, thank you for asking. I took a small dose of Prednisone yesterday and my nose actually started to run. Sudafed, hot compresses, mucinex, saline spray, steam, nothing could relive the inflamation and relieve the pressure. I don't want to use up the prednisone. I put some of mine away for Zoe and I don't have many left for her.:(:(:(:(
I'll see the doctor next week if the hot compresses and breathing steam don't keep helping.
Melissa,
I get both sinusitis rhinitis:eek::eek::eek::rolleyes:
Okay, enough of me being sick:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
I'll get a reputation if I don't have one already;);););)
Hey Julie- how is our little, sweet Hannah?
We are to get the cold front tonight. I took both pups out for a wee bit of a walk this morning before the front comes in. They were happy campers. They both needed to move forward. So did I!
love ya all,
addy

Now little Addy......you must be in bed by 9, you must drink a LOT of water and you must make an asap appt with your doc. That's why they're there.:)
World's still spinning around over here. Not as often, though.

I know you are the MOM, but I thought with your head spinning around you might get lost and not do your motherly duties....:D
