Re: The ENT did a needle drainage today of my sinuses

I wish someone would do that for me. Regardless of how much crap is

in there, no one has ever done it and I've asked.

Am I the only one that cringed when reading this.... Man, and I

thought the Dr's had put my body through the wringer. I don't think

there is enough Valium or Tequila to make me sit still for that. You

are brave! I hope it helps...

Glad to see I'm not the only one allergic to most antibiotics, the

very few i can still take don't seem to work unless I take them at

high doses for a month or more. They used to culture mine but every

time in the last 7 years it's been staph.

Also, I had surgery to put the windows in five years ago this april.

I went back early fall the same year and he was quite impressed

(actually shocked) that the allergic " swelling " i had that seemed to

stop them up before (thus the windows should fix), now swelled at a

different place and was completely blocked yet again.
