Last nine months have been nightmarish healthwise. Atypical trigeminal neuralgia, Sjorgern's Syndrome diagnosis, Dry Eyes, IBS and now chronic sinus infection. One doctor also thinks I have Fibromyalgia. Also, some stuff with difficult child. I'm trying to hold it together. Lots of pain. I've had some improvement with the atypical trigeminal neuralgia, getting on Desipramine (like Elavil) and a compounded cream for my face with three things, including lots of Gabapentin. Also, the acupuncture is helping. Thank you for everyone for your help/advice/thoughts in the past.
I have Percocet for breakthrough pain. I am so grateful for the improvement.
I have noticed that lately, I have had more than my fair share of sinus infections. I was diagnosis'd with one on Thursday of last week. They are coming more and more rapidly. My ENT was out of town, so I went to the emergi clinic. I had a 100 fever and all the syomptoms and he gave me two weeks of antibiotics...which are killing my stomach. The doctor there was wondering if the Sjorgern's, which drys me out, might be at least partially to blame. No normal flow, and an inability to get rid of bacteria.
I DID feel some signs of one coming on about 10 days ago. I ignored it (maybe dumb) in hopes it would go away or it was my imagination.
This happened years ago and I went to one of those drug store clinics and the nurse there said I was just about to get an infection, and prescribed a nasal spray and said that this should stop that from happening. It was an RX. For the life of me, I can't remember what in the world that spray was. It was not Flonase. I think it was for allergies.
Anyone have a clue what it might have been? Anyone have any suggestions??? HELP!!!!
Many thanks!!!!
