I posted that message then couldn't re-find this board until now! What did the doc man do... well I had surgery. He cut out all the polyps, straightened my deviated septum, flushed out my sinuses. I'm taking a billion medicines right now.. the 'normal' ones that I guess I'll have to be on for a looooong time: Zyrtec, Nasocort, Singulair(don't have asthma..just was so messed up for so long it screwed up my lungs a little). And since I had the infection for so long, I'm still having trouble kicking it so I'm also taking Mucofen, Biaxin, and...I think that's it! Yeah..that's it. It's a pain in the butt to have to take all that, but I'll do absolutely anything to not go back! I'd say I'm 99% better..even the infection isn't as bad as it used to be. I wouldn't notice it if I weren't obsesively watching for it. My doc's name is Larry Duberstien in Memphis, TN. I found him on the internet. Search for 'Sinucare' on Yahoo. You might be able to find a doctor near you who's part of his 'group', if you want. Oh..he also told me to not let myself get tired and to get the heck outta Memphis!! nasty nasty place for sinuses... Anyway..hope someone can get something out of my ramblings.. :)
