I take allegra and singulair everynight, use nasocort and astilin. Spring and fall in the midwest is the worst, that's usually when I get a sinus infection. I've had surgery twice. I'm hoping I don't have to do that again. I used to have extremely sharp shooting pains in my eyes where I would jump when it happened. That's better now. I also take Lexapro from migraines which helps a great deal. I'm beginning to take control again for years I was a sick mess. I also had undiagnosed hypothyroid disease (Hashimoto's). That can cause sinusitis too.

| what advice were you given for your sinusitis??

First.. If you even THINK you may have it...get help.ASAP----
I will let you for many people---it can be different. I was grinding my teeth at night and in the morning my jaw would be killing me. I had so many x rays I glow. lol.
I had bad pain-and constant on the right hand side of my face-in the jaw area. Another thing, every morning my face was swollen on that side. I would go through bottles of over the counter pain meds. I would constantly have a song in my head.just to "wish " the pain away.
One Christmas morning I was in so much pain I could not go down to see my little children open gifts. I stayed in bed most of the day. It can be that bad. I hope you dont have tmj.

What were your symptoms for the TMJ trouble?

To give the buts up is such a challange. I am glad you have done it.
I know it takes a great effort to quit.
If you think it may be TMJ look into it. It took me 3 years and 6 dentists before they said that was what I had. And it was my Root canal dr. who determended that was it. I was able to go to Tufts Dental in Boston. They have a TMJ clinic there. The main DR. teaches all over the world.

That's really exciting news, I'm glad to hear there is hope. I'm tired of medicine everyday plus nose sprays too and headaches, earaches . . . . Thanks for helping!

Quitting smoking is the best thing you can do for yourself!!!! I had sinus infections/sinusitis for a years. As soon as I quit smoking I don't suffer from that anymore. I haven't smoked for 23 years...

| This is what ails me more than my hypothyroid. I also have pressure in my right ear and a feeling of fluid in there. Might be TMJ, I don't know, but I think it's the sinus buildup. It is very irksome. I was taking Walphed, but then my resting heart rate was too high. I take it now every other or every third day, but sometimes I get a pinching in my heart. It's a dilemma. I am 50, lost 7lbs. since January 11 and I am gaining muscle but weight loss is slow. I quit smoking 1/7.
