I'm not sure if this qualifies as a sinus issue but I have really bad environmental allergies that start in spring and seem to last through until the fall so I'm constantly stuffed up or I have a runny nose...Or, if I'm really lucky, I have one stuffed nostril and one runny one. Boo. When I take an antihistamine and start to breathe really well, I'm always surprised. As in, "Wow, THIS is how normal people breathe every day???"

My husband broke his nose when he was little and had surgery to open back up one of his sinuses but it still gets infected and irritated a lot more than is normal. He uses netti pots a lot to keep it cleared out and a nasal spray if he knows he's getting a cold.

We both do. I have food allergies that keep me constantly stuffed up and he has a lot of problems with his sinuses and digestional tract (everything's connected in one way or another...). He is definitely worse off than me but working on it with an allergist and gastroenterologist to hopefully make things a little better for him.

@mrbee - are you STILL fasting?

@mrbee: Really? I'm interested in hearing more. My friend subscribes to the theory that meat is the cause of all ailments including allergies/sinuses. I need to do more research, but wouldn't mind trying to become vegetarian if I'd live a more full and enjoyable life!

It seems to be an increasing problem for DH, which is probably why he has a snoring problem. There is no way I could get him to do any kind of fast. We're waiting to see if there will be any improvement from losing weight first.
