Hi You have certainly had a run of bad luck. Lets hope this year will be better for you in every way. I am afraid I have not heard of that medicine I was in similar position and happenened across a in haler decongestant that did the trick .

I guess it is trial and error so saying I wish you lots of luck and hopefully som one else can give you an answer

Oh you poor love, so very sorry for your loss.

You've had a really bad time of it!

I had a similar problem, I used a simple nasal spray called beconase, i found it quite effective, it unblocked sinuses and protected the lining, ask your GP for a prescription

Nux Vomica is a homeopathic remedy, you can buy it in some Chemists, I'm sure Boots' stock it, and I've seen it in health food shops, my local Holland and Barratt have it.

So sorry for your losses & your recent new diagnosis, you are fortunate to have a loving wife & supportive GP to help you through your difficult times, I've never heard of nux vomica, but see Lima6MCT says it is a herbal thing, I'm not so sure of those things but what I use & find good is menthol crystals in bowl of boiling water towel over head & bowl & inhale it clears up bunged up feeling & helps you get rid of any residual phlem, best of luck, take care gentle healing hugs x

I am so sorry for your losses! I really hope you have better times ahead.

I have a problem with blocked sinuses a lot - I use a nasel decongestant spray from the chemist. It helps short term but I have to use it regularly.

I hope u find something that helps!

Gentle hugs

Do hope things get better for you. I'm prescribed Beconase but can't use it much as it makes my nose bleed - i use it about 3 days a month - in between I use a nasal spray I buy from my local health shop called Rhinodoron. I use that 2 or 3 sprays in each nostril 3 or 4 times a day, it is helpful.

Wishing you better and happier times,
