severe allergic disease chat?

[Guest guest]

I know at least a handful of us suffer from what I call severe allergic

sinus disease - chronic inflammation and recurrent sinus infections

which repeatedly show up as normal under CT scans and xrays, meaning no

fungus, contrary to the Mayo clinic announcement that most recurrent

sinusitis is fungal.

I would be interested in having a chat about this. Anyone else? We

could agree on a day and time in advance.

I have chronic recurring (never really goes away) sinusitis. It's shown up on 2

cat scans and 1 mri. Never had any one say it was fungus, though. I tried

inhaling, using an adapter with my nebulizer (bought for asthma) a concoction of

an anti-fungal and antibiotic and steroid but it actually triggered asthma

attacks, caused a lot of mucous and caused me to temporarily lose my voice.

Antibiotics do help but pseudoephedrine is also important - every day!!! Funny,

doctors look in my nose and say there's nothing there but on images it really

does show up. Drives me crazy - so frustrating! I'm hoping xolair will help

w/that too.

So, yes, I'd like to chat or email occasionally. I'm working too so time is

limited. Thanks!
