My son has recently started to develop nasal polyps. The first one was in the left nostril. The doctor gave us steroid drops and other medication and it...
Hi everyone! I am new here and would like to get some advice and feedback. I started with severe headaches that wouldn't go away, went to get an MRI and it was...
Don't think they come and go rapidly but they do shrink or deflate and can swell again rapidly, a surgeon who removed mine in 2 of 4 surgeries said they are...
I haven't posted in a while. I was actually doing prtty good since being on xolair. But ironically, while stopping xolair for a few months, my sinus symptoms...
my son is 8 and he's had 4 surgeries in the last year and a half. The first was tonsil and adnoid removal and lavage of the sinises. The next two were...
Heidi, I am so sorry that you have to see your son suffer like that, I can't even imagine. I have a son who is 8 also. He had some problems when he was a baby...
not sure if this is what you are asking, but when my sinuses get inflammed, the dark circles under my eyes get really bad, almost like 2 black eyes, and my...
I think they take time to develop, but they can get bigger and/or shrink pretty fast. sometimes my polyps will get bigger and then shrink again pretty fast,...
Tammy, I hope you are feeling even better as I write this. After my surgery, the first two days or so were bad, and then for about 5 more days I was tired and...
Thanks Melinda, Each day does seem to get a little bit better. I'm trying to stay positive and hope for the best. Although my face is still sore, it is a ...
yep - definitely red cheeks, and sometimes redness between my eyebrows too. fever is your body's way of fighting the infection. as long as it doesnt get too...
I sleep! The pain causes me to be very tired, it's like because my sinuses are struggling every day it makes everything else impossible. So needless to say...
Heide: This is horrible, I really feel for your son. I am 40 and have had 6 sinus surgeries and feel that I would have been better off without them. I now...
Tammy: Hope this is not too late but do not have any more root canals. I had one and we later found out that I didn't need to have it done (too late) and all...
Tammy: Hopefully you are doing better now. It does take up to 1-2 months before you will see most of the benefits of the surgery. If you eat when taking...
We went to Mayo this week- after an MRI that ruled out brain involvement. Of course Mayo noticed scar tissue now that's attaching the septum to whatever so...
Thanks Gail, Im glad I had the surgery. It's been about 3 weeks now and I have no more pain (THANK GOD it's wonderful) The Dr. said it takes 3 months for...

Heide- I'm very glad to hear that you were able to take your son to the Mayo clinic and that the testing has been able to pinpoint what's happening. I...
I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this, and if it is related to sinus surgery. On dec. 3rd I had balloon sinuplasty and septoplasty. The Dr said...
What makes you believe the issues aren't antibiotic related? Antibiotics for sinus stuff did a number on my gut and I'll never take them again unless it's a...
Hi Melinda, Yes, I have been on SOO many antibiotics from July to December, not to mention steriods a few times and TONS of motrin. But, I haven't taken any...
You put warm (almost hot) water in the water container and add salt (just a pinch or two). Turn on the water pick - use the lowest setting, eventually I had...

Other than the usual ones, what method of surgery? When can I blow my nose? he'll tell you how to "doctor" it, like saline rinse, etc. I guess. Anybody else...
