Sad to hear that 🙁 hope you get better soon. At least you may have cleared it in time for Xmas??
in reply to Susieq174
Thankyou...yes hopefully...i think i will have to head to the drs soon 😕
Have you tried using a decongestant like Sudafed? Or maybe a nose spray? I found both helped when I was in a similar predicament.
Hope you feel back to your usual self soon.

So sorry to hear that. Have you tried nasal rinsing? It sounds weird but it has made such a difference for me.
I was a martyr to sinusitis for years with constant sinus infections and nosebleeds after colds, requiring antibiotics to clear them. I tried every OTC medicine available and they were all pretty ineffective. Three years ago, during a particularly horrendous episode, I read about nasal rinsing, which involves squirting salty water up each nostril in turn. Sounds more unpleasant than it is (though I did watch a few YouTube videos on the method before I had the nerve to do it). I use it when I start a cold or just if I’m feeling ‘stuffed up’.
Since using it. I have not had a single sinus infection! Once you get used to the rinsing process, it’s a cheap, easy solution and very effective, in my experience. No drugs involved, just a sachet of salts.I use the NeilMed kit which you can buy at most chemists or online.

I have ordered one & just waiting for it to turn up & really hoping it will help.i keep getting them & this year has been really bad
I can only speak from my own experience but this simple remedy was 100% effective for me. It feels odd at first, but after 3-4 goes, you get the hang of it, so do persevere. It also seemed to stop the nosebleeds which would happen at all kinds of random, inconvenient times - on the bus, at the supermarket checkout, in the shower, in a restaurant, driving ... !!

I have read quite alot of good things about them so definately worth a shot.it was only a couple of months ago i had the last one & i guess theres only so many times you can take antibiotics!!!
Chin up Claire - the pavements will still be there when you feel better!! Wrap up warm and stay indoors, you'll be back out there sooner than you think.

Thankyou...i really hope so!!!
Oh, Claire, what rotten luck. I do hope it clears soon. i always use echinacea at the first hint of something coming on and 9 times out of 10 it stops it in its tracks. Might be worth still getting some to alleviate some of the nastiness. It really does work: I have friends with medical backgrounds who use it.
Meanwhile it isn't looking hopeful for me either today: the snow is now greasy slush - worse than ice. Plus Mic woke me at 3ish going to the loo (coffee addict who drinks coffee before bed) and every time I tried to get back to sleep, he snored...no idea why as he doesnt do it all the time. so I've had about 4 hours' sleep 
Somewhere, some time, we will run free and wild again (or at least puff manically along) xx

Sorry to hear that and I hope you feel better soon. I sympathise with the sinus misery you are enduring. I suffered terribly with reactions to swimming in chlorinated pools until I discovered a nose clip that worked for me, plus eventually learned how to 'mouth breath'. I almost gave up. It was like having permanent flu and I was a slave to the nettipot.
I find echinacea really works for me in both keeping colds at bay and reducing severity when they arrive.
in reply to Pm3eak
Thankyou very much 😊 i will have to get some ASAP!!!

Oh no! Poor you... Take care of that awful sinusitis (I can see a lot of members have already advised a lot of remedis). Keep warm and take the time to treat yourself to something nice!
in reply to Anthie
Ah thankyou 😊
I have just been out & bought half the contents of Tescos pharmacy so some of it had better help!!!😁

How horrible! Sinus pain is really awful. Have you been to the doctors because if it’s an infection you can have antibiotics before it gets worse 🤧I hope you feel better really soon xx
in reply to Bridget007
Thankyou 😊 i had one a few months ago & it lasted for 8 weeks before i got antibiotics that cleared it up 😕
Hi Claire, hope you are recovering and will soon be back on the pavement!
