I have this horrible image of you strapped to a table with some evil doctor scraping out your sinus with a hook. Maybe I shouldn't have shared that.

a girl i work with says her husb flushes out his sinuses with sterile water, but i dont personally think thats a good idea... he has had the sinus surgery too.... i say, stick with the drugs.. better living through chemistry and all that..

I assume that these are enviromental allergies and not food allegeries, although you could get a blood test to find out for sure. I thought I had enviromental allergies for years, but then my ear/nose/throat doctor was out on vay-cay during one of my awful sinus infections and the only dr. available was an allergist. I found out I was more allergic to yeast and penicillium (that would be bread, beer, cheese, yogurt) than I was to pollen or pet dander. So that's one suggestion...but you sound like you are suffering from seasonal allergies. I would suggest a neti pot -- it looks like a genie lamp and you can get it at a health food store or online. You use it with warm salt water to "irrigate" the sinus cavities. I know it sounds gross, but it works. Also, it you have nasal drip into your throat (giving you a sore throat) you can gargle Alkalol, which has eculyptus and peppermint oil. That might help. I am sorry to hear you are feeling so sick! That is a real bummer!

It could be a tumor.

ITS NOT A TUMOR!

Maybe you need to pick your nose more. It may help to keep things clear and infection free.

I heard it really helps if you do it in your car and get caught by someone with your finger in your nose to the fourth joint.

Of course, having a $100 a day coke habit doesn't help either.

I wish I could help! If you were having intestinal troubles, then I'm your girl. Maybe you should send your son to me and you'll feel better. :-)

Eat jalapenos and drink Jack Daniels. That will clear out your sinuses and your intestines, all at once.

Seriously, though, I do hope you feel better. Maybe allergy tests wouldn't be a bad idea...and if you did have to actually have the icky surgery, they would probably at least give you some good drugs afterward.

Sniff warm salt water out of the palm of your hand. Get a humidifier. Wrap a wet washcloth in plastic wrap and heat it for minute in the microwave (then place it on your weary brow). Ice works too. Nice hard shower on the head helps as well. Juice. Vitamins. Or buy some fucking Sinu-Tab. Sleep. Watch "Logan's Run" on DVD. I'm sure you're over the pain now but this is all in case in comes back.
