Yeah, it pretty much blows. Sucks that it's basically become my "normal" over the past 4 years, but what can you do?

I remember when it first came about I called out of work a bunch and stuff, but then when it just lingered and lingered it's like there's nothing I can do but just try to ease the symptoms as much as possible so I can go about life. Doctors are really no help at all, they just want to stuff you full of antibiotics, antihistamines and steroids.

Yupppp. Inflammation is a nuisance. My sinuses are somehow pretty good despite growing up with a deviated septum and chronic nosebleeds. But it attacks all my sensory nerves. The feeling of lugging around a body that has betrayed you is quite tiresome. And doctors are so far off the mark on these things it makes me wonder what they're learning all those years... I've had a few that were pretty good, but the majority tried to put me on antidepressants and tell me it was anxiety

They don't have to cut anything any more like in the old days...with the new techniques they do it there at the doctors office under local anesthesia and the recovery time is like one or two days not like weeks how it used to be. They open your sinuses inflating a little ballon (very little) in between the six? different sinuses an drain out anything that has been built up inside.
