Re: Sinus Headache From HELL

[Guest guest]

Sorry to say but I had to go off enbrel and humira for repeated sinus

infections.

We tried everything but they just wouldn't stop until I got completely off the

medicine.

I love how Humira makes me feel but the sinus headaches I am getting are leaving

me USELESS.

I injected Sunday which was 12 days after my last injection. I took 2 Advil

Sinus and did not get a headache the day of injection.

Monday... Tuesday... and today I have woken up with headaches that will not go

away unless I use Sudafed. The problem with Sudafed is it spikes my blood

pressure and the doctor does not want me doing this long term.

My question is.... Has anyone had a similar problem and if so, how did you

treat it? I called my family doc today and he was gone for the day but I am

wondering if something like Nasonex or Flonase may be beneficial for me.

Thanks for listening!

Hi Kami - so sorry to hear you are suffering from these sinus

headaches. I know how miserable they can be. Have you tried a saline

solution (like Ayr) that can be used as often as needed? Someone else

once said something about a Neti-pot. My MIL rinses her sinuses out

daily with a salt-water solution so that her sinuses don't bother her.

I've thought about getting her a Neti-pot for Christmas, but wondered

if that would be too cheesy or gross. She's so hard to buy for.

Anyway - the only draw backs to Flonase or Nasonex is they tend to dry

out the nasal passages which in turn can cause more irritation. I've

had trouble with thick post-nasal drip which will cause headaches and

an itchy throat. Saline solution is the best thing I've come up with

for that so far. Hope this helps.........Doreen

A Neti-poti sounds great for christmas haaaaaaaa. I am saving for

one. But as soon as I think I have some money for myself a new bill

like a doctor bill comes in. When I had the sleep study the

neurologist that checks the test does not accept medicade. So he

sends me a bill. Oh well, what ya gonna do?

gentle hugs

Hi Clora,

I think you meant Doreen. I know Sweetie, you get us confused. It's

OK, I think Doreen is a Super Lady and friend, you are too!

I know about the money though. I am still working and it is like

that for me. I figure when I have extra money and something like

that happens and takes it, then that is why I had it. Someone knew

that it was going to be needed and it was supplied.

When I don't have the extra and something happens, it's put me on a

payment plan. I have several of those.

Hope you and all of the group has a good day!
