sometimes i feel that i'm the only one suffering, i speak to others who suffer from allergies but they mostly sneeze and they seem to feeling a bit better, is it possible that it takes sinuses suffers longer to get better, then others who have the typical sneezing due to our sinus inflamation

I can relate to your frustration. I feel like there is so mcuh pressure in my sinuses and behind my eyes, that I think my head is going to burst. Yet, I don't sneeze and my nose or eyes don't run or water. Ugh! I think I'm going to finally have to go to an ENT specialist. Have you gone to any specialists for your sinus problems? What tests do they run and what do they prescribe? I find icing my sinuses with an ice pack helps. I take iburprofen for the inflammation and loratidine, a non-drowsy antihistamine. I'm wondering if I need some antibiotics.

It's frustating. I'm on the same boat. I've been to two ENT's and one allergiest for nothing. I have had all the tests done... including C-Scan, xrays, food allergy test, nasal culture and nothing is found. I'm only allergic to dust and dust mites and some trees... but that's about it. I can NEVER breath and I have a sinus headached every single day. I'm sick and tired of this. I'm gonna visit and acupuncturist next to see if that helps... I don't know what else to do. I even went to a naturopathy doctor and wated tons of moneys on tests and products for nothing...

I know how you feel. We are all together on this.

Take care,
