I also just found this site a couple of weeks ago and
like you have delt with these things for years w/o
a doc. I was diagnosed with "chronic sinusitis" as a child
when I started getting these at age 7 (I'm now 30).
I agree - coffee/caffiene works for me too - espresso is the
best if your near a cafe - a dbl or triple will
always do the trick.
I am - as I know there are many others - am really
interested in non-drug (I know caffiene is a drug) remidies.
Any others suggestions? Over the years of dealing with these
on my own I've come up with a few of myself (hot/cold water, anti-
histamines, cold packs, excercise, deep breathing, OTC drugs such as
anti-histamines and sodium naphroxin and others.
I'm also taking feverfew which seems to reduce the severety
and frequency.
Any one have any other non-Rx remidies?
