Since October last year I have been chronically ill. It took the doctors 5 months to diagnose me with bacterial sinusitis and instead told me I was just getting the flu over aver again and not to worry I would be better soon. After finally getting the diagnosis I was sent to an ENT who looked up my nose gave me a spray steroid and decongestant and oral steroids and that I would be fine in a few days. My symptoms of fever, major fatigue, nausea, headache, sinus pain and pressure would just magically go away. They did not. I was then given sulpha drugs for a 10 day course and started feeling better but by day 8 started to get worse again. I was then given azithromycin for 5 days which negligibly helped. I was leaving for a Caribbean vacation and told again that I would be fine and the weather was what I really needed, hot and humid, and to just relax. After the flight one of my ears was totally clogged and progressed to clog the next ear the next day and then they started to hurt, badly. Luckily there was a nurse who I had sit next to on the plane and she gave me Cipro for a seven day course. I had called the ENT and he told me to drink lots of water, take a lot of Aleve, and triple my use of the steroid/decongestant spray. The nurse was distraught he would suggest that to clear an ear infection and by day 4 of the course of the Cipro the ear infection was gone and the sinus as well. I felt great! Then 2 days after I had finished the antibiotics I felt worse until I was as sick as I was before. I got back home and saw the ENT again and he sent me for a CT scan and XRAYS both came back normal. I know have been sick for seven months and write this from my bed. I have no life and cannot even do the basic things I need to do like go to the grocery store. I have been taking steroid spray and decongestant spray for 2 months and I worry this is not good especially the decongestant I read that you should not take that for very long at all. I have done numerous homeopathic remedies oregano oil; oral and nasal spray, raw garlic, colloidal silver, oil pulling. Any advice?
