Sinus surgery patients only?

I think I'm having major sinus issues. I wake up with a headache, keep one all day, and to make matters worse I cant sleep at all, I dont even hit my REM. My tonsils are gone, so thats ruled out as an underlying cause.

I was wondering how your doctor/ENT went about diagnosing you with the need for sinus surgery. Ive had two CT scans (about a year ago) and they said nothing showed. Had a nasoscopy (tube up your nose) and they said nothing.

Went to a new ENT, and he said I had chronic sinusitis abscess, just from looking at me. Tried a week of a Z-pack (lasted for two weeks). Felt a little something, but not much improvement.

Are there any other methods to find a sinus problem? If not, is there any harm in trying the balloon method for drainage?

I swear I feel like i got hit the head with a brick. I can barely keep my eyes open because they are light sensitive.

I appreciate any words of wisdom.

I have always had chronic sinus infections just like you. Same story..CAT scans and all but nothing ever showed up. Sometimes I wish the doctors would just go ahead and do the surgery anyways and let me live in good health! I have recently been using Dr. Neil's sinus rinse every morning. It helps some but does not eliminate the problem. Go ahead and give it a try though. You never know.. what didn't work for me may work great for you. Good luck!

Hi Blackcom

Here is an unusual but very effective method to heal many issues.

INTRODUCTION TO OIL PULLING ("OP")

Here's are a few paragraphs from Bharat Savur's article on The Hindu Business Online

..."When Dr Karsch examined the swished milk-white oil under a microscope with 600 magnification, he saw live organisms swimming in it. It's poisonous, so never swallow it, he warns. These poisons are bacteria-embryos, which, if not eliminated, cause diseases. Apparently, Dr Karsch cured his own chronic blood disease and 15-year-old arthritis.

The first sign of improvement is in the teeth-they become firm and white, he says. Other healing indications: fresh, relaxed feeling on waking up, disappearing dark pouches below the eyes, anew appetite and energy, better memory and deep sleep.

Dr Karsch swears by the mouth oil-wash for anything from organ-disorders, skin-diseases, menstrual problems, paralysis to every ache and it is in the human anatomy. You can swish even when you have fever, he says, adding, it takes anything from two days to a year to cure a disease.

And if these claims sound exaggerated, he told a conference of Ukrainian cancer specialists, try out the process yourself.

Interestingly, Ayurveda advises oil swishing "to purify the taste-buds and the entire system", as explained by Dr Deepak Chopra in Perfect Health.

According to this life science, the tongue is mapped by organ-locations 鈥?that is, each section of the tongue is connected to the kidneys, lungs, spleen, liver, heart, pancreas, small intestines, stomach, colon, and spine.
Thus, an oil-mouth-massage soothes and stimulates the key meridians where taste meets organ. Simultaneously, as in any skin-massage, the inner skin and lining of the mouth, palate and tongue become warm and supple and the lubrication prevents dryness (the vatic effect).
In modern dietetics too, dryness is discussed.

For example, lack of Vitamin A (retinal) causes the outer lining of the eyeball to dry and wrinkle, and affects vision.
And as any dietician would tell you, all oils contain 960 micrograms of vitamin A per 10 gm (the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A per adult is 600 micrograms). So, it's possible that oil gargling helps in reaching the required retinal to the eyeballs and keeps them elastic and smooth.
Likewise, the Ayurvedic `purification of taste-buds' also has its equivalent in dietetics as `antioxidants'. Oxidation literally means `the putrefaction of body-tissues'.

And oil-soluble vitamins, A, C, D, and E are antioxidants that protect and prevent the decaying process and help maintain the integral functioning of cell membranes. That's why many people are ingesting vitamin E pills to stem `aging' (oxidation). "
