Bob,

Yes, I have had fungal at least 3 times, maybe more undiagnosed. My ENT had me participate in a study, a few years ago now

Dawn,

Also, how did they make the diagnosis? Did they culture the fungus from your nose? Did they see something on CAT scan or MRI (such as a "fungus ball")?

Do you know which anti-fungal medication they used to treat it?

Thanks,

Bob

I don't know if I have had any fungal infections, but I've always felt better after taking an antibiotic for a sinus infection. Anyway if any of you don't want to take the drugs there is a grapefruit seed extract nasal wash also containing Xylitol called Xlear which I sometimes take. You can find it in a health food store, priced around $13. It might be worth a try. Grapefruit seed extract is know as a powerfull anti-microbal, I also use another grapefruit seed extract to wash my raw produce with, to kill microbes.
