    I've been battling it for 2 years now...had little to no allergies or any previous issues...and it's an absolute nightmare to live with. Constant nasal drip, throat clearing, getting agitated by certain foods, and constantly just feeling tired all the time. I finally went to see a specialist and am getting a balloon sinuplasty within the next few weeks. It's been going on for so long I don't even remember what it feels like to have a decent quality of life. Overall, it's just an exhausting/depressing experience

      Kudos for the Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Aiyenry Straightforward Authority (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great one of a kind guide for eliminating nasal polyps and infections minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got amazing results with it.

      @@BlackEswadeh Sorry man I never saw this message or I would've replied earlier. This is what worked for me. I learned this from a great website that has since been taken down by an ENT who called himself the booger doctor, Dr. Faust. He said after having crs for 25 years he looked outside of what he had learned in medical school and went to like a holistic or naturopath or something. Anyway that's where he learned about manuka honey and xylitol. After having crs for about 8 years at that point in time I was willing to try anything because I was desperate so I did it. He said it took him one year but it took me 3 years of using these rinses every day but it was worth it because I was the walking dead. I was so very tired all the time, my nose was constantly running and I had to take steroids to stop it from running which made me crazy. I don't even know how I managed to get out of bed and go to work everyday but I did.
      Anyway it was 3 large tablespoons of Wedderspoon raw K16 manuka honey, 3 tablespoons of xylitol along with the the salt, 8 ounces of water previously boiled and warmed up and a naso pure squirt bottle to get it up into my sinuses. I will be forever grateful to the Booger doctor, Dr. Faust for this remedy. I think there has been a lot of research on the benefits of manuka honey. It's natures antibiotics. It's expensive but if you can afford it it's worth it as opposed to taking steroids for the rest of my life and feeling tired and like crap.
      Now having said that Dr. Faust also said the sinuses are complex but he also said that most crs is caused by bacteria hiding behind a biofilm that antibiotics can't get too.
      Good luck. I'm not sure you have this but for anybody that does I can relate to the misery.
      PS I had 2 ENT's who told me I would have CRS for the rest of my life, they were wrong. The second ENT I went to told me I should stop using the honey as it might "pass the blood brain barrier" into my brain and cause problems. When I questioned him the next time I went he said "ah don't worry about it". If I had listened to that guy I would've had CRS for the rest of my life. When a year or so later I told him I thought I got rid of it he looked and said absolutely nothing to me or congratulations. Just a stone face of weirdness. I think he was disappointed he wasn't going to have me as a patient anymore or my money. The one good thing that did happen was I got FESS which helped my breathing a great deal. I actually sleep at night and wake up refreshed in the morning which I never did my whole life.
      Anyway Chronic sinusitis is horrible and I feel for you guys that have it. I hope I helped someone out there because Dr. Faust shared his knowledge with me and I will be eternally grateful.

    I've had 7 operations on my sinusis over 36 years to remove polyps and remove bone to enlarge the space in my nose, and I still suffer regular sinus infections and have no sense of smell at all, certain things can make it worse dust, pollens, and alcohol. Saline nasel washes a couple of times a week and steroid spray every day helps a little but it never goes away.

    look guys, ive suffered from this my whole life. what i can say, you never fully get rid of it, but you can significantly decrease it by proper lifestyle and diet. do anti inflammatory diet, lots of turmeric and ginger tea, no diary, no grains, no omega 6s in excess (vegetable oils other than olive and coconut, chicken etc).

      Chronic sinusitis is mostly caused by allergic rhinitis that has not been controlled for a long time. I was thinking if I had to go for treatment earlier, I would have to find a professional doctor earlier, but unfortunately it was a little bit too late, I don’t know where are you, but 12,000 US dollars for a single operation is really not cheap. I did two operations and cost about 20,000 RMB, which is about 3,089.76 U.S. dollars including insurance coverage.

      You can go for sinus balloon dilation surgery. It may not be able to solve the problem directly, but at least you will feel a lot better after the operation, and it also provides a good foundation for your post-operative treatment. You may need to take medicine after the operation. , Nasal irrigation, regular visits to the doctor, etc. After the second operation, I can wash out some bad things every time I wash my nose. It is very sticky and cannot be discharged without nasal washing. I still have symptoms, especially when the air pressure drops, but I have been fighting this nasty disease. I hope that what I have written will help you.
