Surgery went ok. They found a fungal ball in my sinus so no amount of Antibiotics would have relieved it..5 months of taking different Antibiotics played havoc  on me and i,m really sensitive to most meds so it was hard going..and all worthless in the end..guess Docs have to try everything before surgery though, but at what cost to us.

I've been having the lightheadedness for over TWO years now. (it comes and goes).   I'm 99% sure this is hormone related. (perimenopause). Specifically progesterone dropping but estrogen staying the same. I've been to 5 different doctors and had every test in the book done. I also get headaches/migraines, which I've never had before. I ALWAYS feel worse the week or two before my period. I am now using a 3% natural progesterone cream which is bio-identical and made at the local pharmacy. I have dabbled with dosage and find a small amount is helping me. This cream made me worse at first because it apparently wakes up the estrogen receptors and makes the estrogen dominance symptoms worse. I cut my dosage back to about 1/16 to 1/8 of a teaspoon applied at night and things seem to be getting better! Finally! I'm going to talk to the doctor about adding a natural estrogen cream to the mix if things get bad again. I'm having alot more 'good' days now compared to the bad, dizzy, lightheaded, elevator head, no energy, walking on pillows days. My breast fibroids are almost totally gone as well....I suggest you try natural progesterone cream. To start I tried Progest that I bought online and it helped me for a few months but I don't think it was strong enough, it stopped workings...good luck!

Hi i was wondering  can i ask what use a plant hormone  and has it helped you i can not go on hrt due to high cancer risk.
I am still not a 100% the docs still has not figured out what is going on as all my test have come back normal
i am going to see if this could be lymes, or a brain tumor i keep thinking that it has a lot to do with my migraines..

Hi how are you Thank you for your response,  Well I have had a bunch of test done through ent docotors I do not have meineirs or vertigo my balancing test went well and the ct scan that they did of my ear came back normal, yea!!
But I still do not know what is wrong i was suppose to have a chemical stress test done for my heart, but my insurance says not medically ness,  so that is out. I am going for a MRI with contast of the brain as brain tumors are in the family history i am hoping my insurance yes to this test.  
I am feeling a little better my head is stil in a fog but the falling feeling is not as bad as it was'   I am learning not to move my head to quickly or my eyes this helps i also suffer with severe migraines.
Today i am happy to be able to walk a little more without haveing to hang on to something.  I am also hopeing that this is an easy fix.. I am going to see if this could be lymes diease. I would love to know What other medical condition cause this aweful feeling.

I am only 30 yrs old, but had a complete hysterectomy over a year ago. I am having a hard time getting my hormones adjusted. I am using a plant based hormone. I am lightheaded a lot, but dont know if its from that.

Heres a link to signs and symptoms of Meno..

http://www.34-menopause-symptoms.com/

Dizzyness can be associated with Menopause but it can be other things to. Sinus infections can cause Vertigo . I started going through Meno earlier in the  year and had some unsettling dizzy spells which i put down to the but turns out i have  a severe sinus infection and now almost 5 month later i have to go in for surgery to drain them.
If youve passed out i,m suprised the hospital hasnt done any follow up work...CT scan or MRI. My mum did used to get soem bad spells when she went through Meno and woul occasionaly pass out though.My brothers girlfriend also has episodes of passing out but she has lots of tests done to rule out other things.Everything comes back negative so she's a bit stumped
