a good steroid nasal spray could help to eliminate alot of your stuffiness if taken every day. I use Nasacort and it works well. Beware though, a side effect of them are headaches (ironic, no?), so maybe try switching kinds if you are already on one.

I also take decongestants alot, but am afraid of the long term consequences. I have been tested for allergies and have none. Went to an ENT - CT of sinuses was clear. Now off to a neurologist tomorrow. Hopefully he has some ideas. I've had this "sinus" pain on and off for years.
