sinusitis
Are you sure it's not seasonal allergies? Anyway, there's a spray called Sinus Rescue by a company called Peaceful Mountain in Colorado. I think they have a website if you Google it. I know most health food stores carry their products. I stumbled upon it when looking for something for my mom when she contracted E. coli while in the hospital. I bought their Stomach Rescue, and after my mom took one dose - no more E. coli!!! It was really amazing. Now I use a bunch of their products.
Sinusitis and migraine
Is there any hope for a person who has both chronic sinusitis (on one side of the head/face) and migraine (on the other)? I have both and get the pains alternating about once a month and nothing seems to work. Using hair color especially seems to exacerbate the sinusitis but how else do I cover up those grays? Staring at the computer all day brings on the migraine once a month, which lasts for 3 days (and nights ). No medication seems to help. Tried them all. Especially once the migraine starts, NOTHING works, have to take something before it does, or I'm sunk, and it has this uncanny habit of creeping on unannounced.
Sinusitis/Migraines
I had my eyes checked and wear glasses - no more migraines. When I had sinusitis really bad (not too much now), I used to boil a pot of water on the stove and stand over it to inhale the vapors. Sometimes a towel over my head helped to capture more steam from the boiling water (be careful the towel doesn't catch fire from the stove burner), and I usually gained some relief. Another idea for the migraine/sinusitis is to keep placing a really hot washcloth over your eyes/forehead and lay down in a dark room. I do have a facial machine, but I haven't tried that yet as I haven't had any migraines/sinusitis in a long time. Hope this helps.....I feel your pain  .
Does anyone else have chronic sinusitis
I have been battling this particular bout for two months now, and I am on my third run of antibiotics (Avelox the first two times, azithromycin this time). I have negative pressure in my left ear which has caused severe dizzy spells, and I am still running a low grade fever, even though I took the last of the azithromycin today.
I've had allergy problems for a long time and I usually get a sinus infection maybe once a year, but it has never been as bad as this. I was wondering if anyone else has had this kind of experience and, if so, is there anything that helped?
TIA
home remedies
anybody remember hearing about tried and true home remedies your mothers and grandparents used to use BACK IN THE DAY, when that's all they had and people did not go to doctors? Things like which spider web to pack in a wound or using an onion to "draw" a wasp sting or meat tenderizer on jelly fish stings. Just curious, I bet there are a lot of them.
Anyone have any home remedies
My back is killing me (time of month again), but this time my back seems to be killing me worse than ever. I can't just go lie down. I've got work that has to be done. Anyone know of anything that might help?
How bout home remedies for other things. My grandfather was an advocate for a teaspoon of honey and teaspoon of cider vinegar in a glass of OJ each morning to cure what ever ailed you (he lived until 92 years old and hardly ever went to the doc).

Some home remedies for hives.
1. Eliminate trigger factor. Common trigger include medication, nuts, eggs, berries, insect bites, jelly fish and animal dander. Wearing tight fitting clothes or jewelry can do this also.
2. OTC Benadryl antihistamine pills
3. For itching you can try and or all of the calamine lotion or milk of magnesia liquid (apply directly on hives),
4. Soak in warm tub of water with ½ cup of cornstarch and ½ cup of baking soda for per ½ tub of water at least once daily. This helps a lot.
5. Apply aloe vera gel to affected area. Any type is good, but read labels. The ones for sunburn have an anti-itch component.
6. Vitamins C, E and zinc.
7. Ingest cayenne pepper, if you can stand it. It's not that bad on eggs (unless that is his trigger) or potatoes.
8. Stress makes this worse. Teas that calm the nerves include peppermint, passionflower, chamomile, valerian or catnip.
Sore throat remedies needed...sm
I'm on day #4 of a severe sore throat. Ran a fever days 1 and 2. Really no sinus congestion to aggravate it. My 7-year-old daughter has the same thing but with sinus drainage. The pediatrician confirmed yesterday she doesn't have strep and this is all a virus that is going through the community as they've seen a lot of this same virus over the past week. We found out that 2 other kids in her class have the same muck.
We're doing salt water gargles and I'm using Cepacol lozenges. We're also drinking lots of hot and cold fluids. I can't use TheraFlu because it has ingredients that I'm allergic to. I can't eat anything other than drinking liquid soups because it hurts too bad. Definitely not a fun way to lose weight for sure!
What's your favorite remedy to make a sore throat feel better?
Very true! Chronic sinusitis here, neti pots don't work for me but oceans do!
