Anyone suffering from this?
Recent medical studies SEEM to indicate that this is not bacteria related?!?!
But is caused by mold, fungi, and such.
Claims are that antibiotics do little to releave the condition as they do little to the mold or fungus.
I find myself thinking this is PROBABLY true.
I think I've managed to get another such infection :cry
Also I've been given LOTS of antibiotics recently and ...........
And my teeth went south VERY quickly (toothaches and drainage and the xrays showed one tooth root actually reached into my sinus cavity) And talk about upset stomach!
As I child I would suffer a terrible sinus condition twice a year. It would keep me out of school and I was miserable.
My mother took me to Dr. after Dr. and each claimed something different.
One even said I was allergic to chicken.
I got treatments that literally made me SCREAM in pain!
Finally she took me to a Dr. that proscribed some nose drops. Nothing else just some nose drops.
Was kinda a hassle, BUT took about 3 to 5 minutes twice a day.
I was cured in about a week!
Not sure what the stuff was but until about 1938 this stuff was used by the medical community............
and I SUSPECT that it was Colloidal Silver.
So thinking of trying some out BUT......................
WARNING WARNING WARNING!!!!!
If you even THINK about using this stuff.................
THIS STUFF can CREATE problems!
AND if used improperly can result in

get a netti pot and problem solved
-
I've tried this, and believe it or not, the problem got far worse using daily irrigation.
-
YO.........
I got this one
http://www.healthandyoga.com/html/product/neti.html
AND regarding the problem getting worse!!!
I little note in SEVERAL of the reports regarding treatment these is a reference to the problem getting worse!
Seems the toxins that are released into your body by the dieing mold/fungi create a short period of time where you will feel worse!
I tried the netti pot and noticed a immediate increase in sinus drainage.
Stopped using the netti pot right away.
But been using a saltwater nasal spray and the same thing happens?
SOOOO not sure whats goin on here?
Gonna try the netti pot twice a day for next three days and see what happens, if it still does the same thing after 3 days gonna look into the silver.

About 8 years ago, I spent 10 days in the hospital because of it. I'd been taking antibiotics for about a month, finally the infection got so bad and close to my brain it put pressure on my brain. My GF was out of town and couldn't get a hold of me. She called my mom and she found me in bed having a seizure.
After they got it under some control, they went in and opened up the passages, but still had to drill a hole in my forehead to drain one of the sinuses. It also caused some problems with one of my optic nerves for a few months.
After i got out. they put a pic (sp?) line in my arm so I could inject intervenous antibiotics for the next two months. Also had to take some meds that killed fungi, can't remember the name, but it was nasty. If you drank any alcohol, it would make you very sick.
If you start getting some bad chills and and a high temperature get to the doc quick.
Doctor said the problem was scar tissue from past infections clogging passages up.
-
Some more thoughts.............
If I elect to try the silver..........
think I may need...........

Eh gad!
I seem to get some level of sinusitis every year.
Running a humidifier this winter has made a huge difference for me.
-
If you read some of the treatments humidifier is listed as helpful.
Lets see..........
Hot liquids, hot shower on face, sinus sprays, sinus irrigation, plenty of liquid, hot or warm WET cloth on face/forehead.............
those are some I recall off the top of my head.
Think it depends on WHAT fungus/mold you're infected with and how long you've had the infection as to what level of treatment you need?

Be careful about going crazy Googling everything medical. Its really easy to get all worked up over things you find out there.
A few months ago, I had a terrible sore throat. My girlfriend, being a daycare teacher, is near sniffling nose-miners all day...so she's always bouncing from cold to cold. Upon looking at the back of my throat, I was convinced I was on my way to strep.
I stopped in at the hospital's employee health center and had the Physician Assistant check it out. She shrugged, said to drink lots of fluids and it should pass. The next day, it felt worse and looked worse. All through my shift, I was searching what strep throat symptoms were, etc etc. By the end of my shift, I was convinced I had it, dammit! Worse was the throat lozengers were doing little to help. So again, I stopped in on my way home. And there was the same PA who, again, checked me out. She agreed it must hurt like heck and gave me a sampler of better lozengers. Then she asked that I stop fussing over it and forbid me from Googling my symptoms like every other hosptial staffer does! ;)

Nasty sinusitis sufferer here (3-4 times per year).
I was always perscribed antibiotics and they seemed to work up until this past year.
Now if I feel it coming on I do sinus irrigation (netti pot) twice a day and use 24hr Sudafed along with 24hr Claritin (as per MD's order) and it seems to be doing the trick.
Regards,
Yank

You can make your own collidial silver just get a piece of 99.9999% silver. cut in half put 4 9v battires in series, two wires with aligator clips on each end. A jar with a lid cut 2 holes in the lid and put the 2 pieces of silver inside the jar connected through the lid and fill up with water. Connect the 2 ends of the wire to the batteries and whalla. you making collidial silver. the reaction is cool.

I had a bad case of it once and was about 24 hours from surgery to relieve the pressure. In my case it was an infection and the antibiotics as well as heavy doses of anti histamine did the trick. Now if I feel it coming on again I do what I can to dry them out.
-
About 20 months ago started with a sinus infection, 8 months later after trying various antibiotics I had surgery. After the surgery the Dr. informed me that with this condition I would need surgery to clear it on a fairly regular basis, anywhere from every 6 months to 6 years. It's been a year now since my surgery and everything is back to how I felt before the surgery so looks like it's going to be that time again.
Since I first got the infection I have been unable to smell or taste anything, apart from about a 3 week period during summer last year. I mention this to friends and they think it is funny but they don't think of other things e.g. if I am home alone and sleeping and a fire starts I would not smell the smoke. Also recently I bought a frozen meal and started to microwave it when my wife came in and told me to take it outside and throw it away, it was in date but had gone off but I couldn't smell it.

Ive had bad allergies most of my adult life. Sinus pressure is a daily thing for me. Once in awhile it turns into an infection. Do you have pets? Is there mold in your house? Those effect me the most. What works best for me is staying hydrated. I mean super hydrated. Drink alot of water. Alot. Winter is a bad time for me. I used to have alot of nosebleeds as a kid from drying out.
My brother had bad problems as a teen. He ended up on a nose spray that smelled like lilacs. Nasacort I believe. He used it for a few months and one day he staying blowing this black goo out his nose. Lots of it. Finally it cleared up and he was better. Gross I know, but thats what it was.

Years ago I had a wicked sinus infection, lasted for weeks. Finally went to the DR and she squirted some anti-biotics up my nose like one of those over-the-counter dristan sprays.
On my way home my sinuses drained into my mouth...in one go. I had to pull over and spit it out....almost made me throw up.
But talk about instant relief.
Never been able to find out what that stuff was.
Years later I met a guy who used to walk his dog in the same park. One day I had a cold and my sinuses were hurting like heck. I see the guy I met coming towards me but he looked different, even from a distance. When he got up close I couldn't believe it....his eyebrows were totally swollen up as was the area just under his eyes. He looked like a freak. Seriously. Before I could say anything he just said "I have really bad sinuses".
Since then I don't think my problem is that bad at all.

OOOPS according to what I'm reading that is IONIC Silver not Colloidal Silver while they are similar they are not the same thing?
The Ionic...............
http://silver-colloids.com/Pubs/AboutIonic.html
PPM?
http://silver-colloids.com/Reports/ionic-products.html
Colloidal
http://silver-colloids.com/Reports/truecolloids-products.html
And Ionic if I'm reading this right is the one that it is easiest to get SMURF skin from?

OH and the guy in the top picture is from my HOME town :rofl

I went to an allergy specialist about my problem and did all the normal testing. From those tests no allergies were evident but we later discovered what caused my sinus problem and what will continue to do, it is Aspirin Syndrome Asthma.
It seems I have had this for awhile but never knew it, so all those years of stress at work and little or no sleep then popping aspirin to get rid of the headache were making my problem worse not better. Obviously when the doctor first told me about this I thought "what a jerk this guy is", but then soon after I had a toothache and took some ibuprofen which cleared up the toothache but about 3 hours later I could hardly breathe. Dr said if I hadn't already been on the meds I would have probably ended up in hospital because of that. Took about 30 minutes of rest before I could get up and move around but I learned my lesson and now avoid anything with aspirin content.

My Father had terrible Sinus Problems all throughout his life, to the point where Crippling Sinus Headaches would come on just by the change in Air Pressure (Storms and Such).
After I moved out to college, he went to specialist where he found out he had sinus polyps forming. He decided to take measures and one of them was removing his carpeted floors. Now he only experiences problems when around animals (Cats and Dogs).

Well, I came back from the doctor's today, and I finally tested positive for a culture of fungus in my nose.
Went to get blood drawn to ensure my liver enzymes are not too high, and if not, I start an oral anti fungal for 8 weeks. If the enzymes are too high, than it is an IV anti fungal for four weeks.
