Re: Re: Bonnie & sinus infection/Flonase

[Guest guest]

Bonnie, I, too tried Flonase but it didn't work for me. I used Beconase at

one time, but it was too harsh on my nose. I use Nasacort AQ now and it

works wonders. I believe that the design of the bottle has a lot to do with

how well the spray works. Nasacort didn't work at first for me, but I

learned I wasn't using the bottle properly. You have to make sure you put

the whole tip in your nose and that you angle it properly to get where it

needs to be. Cortisone works so well, Bonnie, I'd give it another try!

I've been doing well on flonase..didn't think it was going to work, but

after a year,,,,no infections to date!

Lucky you guys! I've had a fever of over 98 - 99.5 degrees this past

weekend. My normal body temp is 96.8....prolly a sinus infection that is

just staying dormant? or something else.....

I had my teeth cleaned last week and took my pre-meds about 30 mins before

the procedure when I should have taken them 60 mins before. Could this be

why I am running a fever? I guess I go to the MD tomorrow to find out what's

going on with me. I've had stomach problems this past week with reflux,

some lower GI problems too.

good idea to have it checked out, Bonnie...I'm thinking right now that flu

season isn't far off............perish the thought...my stomach has been

rumbling for the past few hours...don't know why and can't think of what i

might have eaten.. maybe it's just my system getting ready to

flush.whatever out...least of the problems now.

If you're running a temp, and are like my family, it's about twenty four

hours from something going bad..please take care of yourself.
