So, I saw Dr. K again today.

My equilibrium issues continue, as have the ringing in my right ear. Dr. K looked at my ear, confirmed the eardrum was still plugged, and looked up my nostrils and noted that there is some blockage. (sinusitis)

He postulated that the sinusitis may be caused by a chronic bacterial infection, and prescribed Cipro to see if that clears it up. He also gave me an anti-histimine nasal spray to try and clear up my sinuses.

There's two good things out of this:

1) My symptoms seemed to have reached a plateau.

2) I can snort some Anthrax on a dare and not get sick. Anyone got white powder laying around? ;-)

I agree on the saline spray. When my sinuses start to clog up, I use spray and I also use Advil to reduce inflammation. My doctor advised this to me. I cannot use Sudafed or anything like that.

I'm already doing 8 shots a day of my current nasal spray. I don't think mixing anything else in is a good idea.

Besides, if my doctor wanted my sinuses to uh, flow, he would have given me some mucinex or something, which he's done before. I think what he's trying to deal with the overall inflammation in the tissue.

Astelin (azelastine HCL)

It's only available by prescription.

Too bad you don't get to see their really dumb commercials on TV.
