Hi Honeybee
Without chinese herbs, which I take all the time, my sinuses would be better not described. With chinese herbs it's bearable. I've got a high IgE (Immunoglobulin E, a marker of allergies), but what causes that? Drugs haven't helped, in the sense that toxicity doesn't. Alcohol's no good for them. There's the leaky gut syndrome, as an idea for treatment. Just recently it all flared up again, and I needed a basket of stuff to maintain drainage and get rid of infection. I took olive leaf, bromhexine, Sudafed, inhalation, neti pot, the chinese herbs, some sprays. It's all very high maintenance. I have accupuncture once a month and the herbs all the time. I sometimes don't think they do much, but when I stop them I realise how much they do to keep my sinuses bearable. Funny how many people here have sinus problems, hey.
