Sick Again - Another Sinus Infection

Published by ff under My IC Life Edit This

I now have sinus infection #5 since September.  I was doing better after my last round of antibiotics, which were very expensive, but now the old sinusitis feelings are back again and I feel like crap.  I missed work Sunday because I was so sick and I barely made it through work yesterday.  It is common for people who chronic illnesses like ME/CFS, FM and IC Disease to have problems with chronic sinusitis. 

I have tried different kinds of nasal sprays, antibiotics, and nasal rinses but so far nothing seems to help keep the infections away long term.  Yesterday at work one of the girls I work with suggested I try putting Vicks on my head for the sinus pressure headache.  So last night I tried it and it did help some.  I also put it around my sinuses and I got some relief that way, too.  I guess it’s back to the doctor again next week.
