Tracie...Re: I missed the what helps for the nose

[Guest guest]

NeilMed Sinus Rinse to flush the sinuses of the gunk. NeilMed Nasogel to make it thru the day and night without your nose becoming so dry, and any of Saline spray throughout the day to keep the sinuses free of the allergens--Ocean, Nasal Saline-- etc. I find them in Longs Drugs, or Rite Aid or WalGreens and Costco.

Tracie,

Is this general info for people who have dry sinuses and who use CPAPs or is this for people who have been dx with sarcoid in the nose. I haven't seen an ENT in forever...I used to get allergy shots before being dx with NS, but my docs told me to stop getting the shots because they may interfere with the Sarc. Needless to say, I have very bad allergies, but they seem to actually be farely under control even though I am no longer getting the shots (I even live with my worst allergens...my 2 cats who are my only children). Anyhoo, I haven't seen my ENT in over a year, but I do use a CPAP, and between that and my allergies my nose and sinuses are pretty dry and I tend to wake up with a sore throat several times a week, so I wondered if I should try some of the suggestions listed here.

By the way...I thought I was one of the only members near the west coast...I'm glad to know you aren't too far from me in Cali!

Thanks,
