new here - severe inflammation issues

[Guest guest]

Hi. I am severely allergic and I have a number of inflammatory

issues, but the major ones are hyperactivity in my sinuses and

lungs. I used to suffer 8-9 times a year from sinusitis and/or

bronchitis brought on by allergic exposure. Then I started Xolair

and this has improved to about 3 times a year. Most of my asthma

attacks are triggered by drainage from my sinuses.

I have been suffering from the mother of all sinus infections for

two weeks. This is one of the worst episodes I have ever had. A

week's worth of antibiotics and prednisone did nothing for the

inflammation. I am stll on both and still no drainage and tons of

inflammation. I went to see a chiropractor and he couldn't see the

top two cervical vertebrae in my neck (or whatever they are) for all

the inflammation in my head and neck from the sinus infection. I am

also on Rescon MX which has an anticholinergic and tons of sudafed.

I do all the right things - nasal washes, inhalers, etc. I go for a

CT scan Monday and may have to have my sinuses drained because the

turbinates are so swollen they have probably closed up around

pockets of infection.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for your time.
