What did the CT scan show?

This is the reason that sinusitis is so had to treat because everybody can have the same r different symptoms. everyone reacts differently to treatments. I hear u it does get tiring and frustation. I can not tell u what will help. As i have tried many different treatment in my battle with chronic sinusitis. But u r not alone.

Hi Julie,

There are other, similar posts on this site.  If you read through them you find people suggest various things that they've found helpful over the years.

For me, I had chronic sinusitis for about a year, many years ago.  I would get swellings above or below my eye and didn't where to put my head because of the pain.  I was given repeated courses of antibiotics but it always came back.

Then my doctor suggested I tried inhaling the steam from menthol crystals disolved in boiling water.  I did this several times a day, pain went, and very rarely now get blocked up after a cold.

I also, coincidentally, started taking evening primrose oil capsules for something else around the same time.  A guy often posts on here saying that evening primrose cured his sinusitis.  I certainly haven't had a problem since - and I still take it everyday as I believe it's really good for just about everything.

Hope this helps!

Thanks. Miriam for reply

I don't know how you survived that long I've had it for about 4 months

Thanks for tip I will try anything it is nasty to suffer from this as you know

Frustrated from the fatigue too

I sweat a lot too

Is that normal?

Should I be worried as I have aching lower back of head into neck now

On right side ?

Or is that normal with sinusitis ?

Hi Julie

I have lower aching back of head and into my neck also. It differs from left to right and sometimes both

I really worry it's a brain tumour, MS or a stroke.

I'm seeing a doctor on Friday and hopefully she'll be able to arrange for an MRI to check out anything serious or not

Oh you have them swollen too?? Has anything helped ?

Nothing has helped but I have made sure I do the Neti pot twice a day just so the mucous does not build up
