I have been having sinus problems for ...........well, actually, all my life. It's just a part of me. Sometimes it gets out of hand and I have to do the antibiotics stuff. This last time, I keep having problems and can't really get rid of it. Also, fluid behind my ears, and the glands in my throat swollen. First dr.'s visit I got a shot of antibiotics and a Z-pak. Already was using a nose spray. The sinus/stuffy head got better, but it did nothing for the throat glands and ears. Next came a round of augmentin. Didn't work. I've just finished with a round of (sp?) medrol dose pack (methylprednisolone). Still no affect. I mentioned it at dialysis to the neph. nurse practitioner and she said an ENT would probably be next, with sinus surgery. I told her, "I don't think so!" And she made the comment that someone with chronic sinus problems probably wouldn't do well with immuno-supressants. So maybe it was a good thing I didn't get the transplant. Rats! rats! Rats! RATS!!!! I am now on Allegra and that seems to be keeping it moving, which is a far sight better than trying to dry it up!!
