    I already had a prescription for adderall then I had sinus problems and he gave me lodrain which didn't help then he gave me this nose spray called omnaris or something and that didn't work. Now all three of these things aren't working. I can't figure it out. I'm back to square one with my symptoms but they're a bit worse this time. I'm getting so frustrated I just want to scream or cry. I can't help but wonder whats causing this. I was up all night last night literally couldn't sleep a bit. I'm just now starting to get a bit tired. I don't get it this stuff is supposed to help me not do nothing or make it worse. And wonderfully enough since I don't have enough great luck already sinus problems are triggers for my migraines:(. All my life i've trusted doctors to fix me but I don't know what to think now.

    I had monster sinus problems a couple weeks ago. i finally broke down and bought some sinus medication. i guess it works but my deal had to run it's course. When it was all finally over I had a huge chunk of wax come outta my ear. Not sure if it's related but my gawd i havent seen anything like it.

    amphetamines should clear out your sinuses as well as, or much better than, pseudoephedrine (sudafed).....honestly you shouldnt need much more than that, unless you're like gushing at the nose....

    Do you have a good humidifier? It can do wonders for sinus problems.

    thats sucks pretty bad! i hate sinuse issues.

    i had a bad infection right before thanksgiving. i got antibiotics for it, which almost worked completely, but failed in the end. later the illness just came back with a vengence. it's finally almost 100% cleared up. less drainage overnight causing sickness in the morning, no longer blowing my nose with nasty colored gunk or blood in it multiple times a day (not even first thing when i get up anymore usually)

    theres still some slight issues, but it looks like its mostly gone and will be for good very shortly here. fucking took long enough. over half a year of being sick with the same thing sucks, even if its something minor like a sinus infection.

    As an alternative therapist, I can say the following:
    1. Stop eating meat, wheat and dairy. NOW. They're terrible for sinus issues.
    2. Go and get a food intolerance test done, either pinprick or by one of them Vega machines.
    3. Try a neti cleanse every morning, or when it gets bad.

    If you wanna PM me with more symptoms/info, I'll try and help :)

    if you want to combat it naturally you can add to ravens list,
    avoid ALL dairy products,
    all processed foods especially anything with MSG.

    also you should have a regimented sleep pattern.
