Gosh, was there a limit to the number of posts in the other forum?
Anyways, I heard about a girl (friend of a friend situation) with severe sinus problems. After going through the same hell we are all experiencing (tests, many doctors, no results, etc.) she found some specialists in Germany. They found out that her sinuses were filling up with liquid and had to manually drain them. She has to do this at least once a year apparently, but she can now function.
I don't know the details of this too much; but the point I am trying to make is that it really is a matter of finding the right doctor. But to get there, I guess we all have to go through the routine checks, experimentation with different medication, etc.
Hang in there.

I didn't know there was a limit to our posts either -- I was afraid we'd never be able to continue and find out if any of us actually gets over this.

I think you're right...a matter of finding the right Dr. I'm beginning to think we just have to cure ourselves. Had face pressure again last night and balance wasn't quite right. Early in the day I was normal. I get tired fast. May be my thyroid-which I'm supposed to go back for blood work this week again, but may have to wait until next week with work and all.

How are you doing?

Glad you started a new thread! I think they close once they hit 50 comments.

I was on Zithromax starting 11-24 for 5 days, but it lasts in your system for 10 days. After about 7 days I started feeling much better, and here it is at the 11th day or so and I'm still fine. The last round of antibiotics helped me for about a month, but I'm hoping this will last longer of course. I also started garlic pills (odorless) last week, but I have seen such differing research on garlic I don't know if it really helps or not.

Because the antibiotic helped for now I haven't tried an ENT yet, but if symptoms come back I will call them first. Hope your symptoms get better, the dizziness and pain can be completely intolerable.
