Yea for you! Not that I wish you to even have a sinus infection but so much better than the alternative. Feel better soon!

Nelly- I am glad it turned out to be just a bad sinus infection. I didn't want to say anything before but when I had an MRI done for my sinus problems that's what it looked like. My sinues were so backed up that it looked like a huge white mass exactly where yours is. I had surgery to open them up and it was the best thing for me. Cause I felt like crap all the time before that. I didn't want to try to sound like a doc so I prayed that would be the answer for you! I am glad that it was and I hope you are in dreamland right now!!

Finally some "good" news!!! HURRAYYYY!!!!! Thank heavens it is a sinus infection and nothing else!! I'm very relieved for you.

I can't imagine how you felt! When they saw white spots on my mum's MRI they said MS - FREAKED ME OUT!! And it took 3 months for my mum to see a specialist to rule it out - no MS, just Meunier's (not that this is a great disease to have though).

I'm happy you have results!! Get lots of rest to catch up on your missed sleep. Snuggle with the BF and relax and get better.

HUGS!!!

Hey there,

I am so sorry that I didn't see this post when you first put it up, before the update so I could be here to offer you more words of support. I can't imagine how difficult this whole situation has been for you, and you are just one tough cookie to make it through everything you have and still have that sense of humour in there somewhere.
I hope BF has come around a little, tell him check out is not available at this time.
On the brighter side of things, I am so glad that you got to see a doctor who actually seems to get it! And who gives it, it terms of drugs! Thank goodness for this new doctor and I really hope that finding her is just the first step in really being able to identify and treat what is happening.

My thoughts are with you and I'll be checking in on you, young lady!

**hugs**
Steph

Thank goodness! They don't have to shoot antibiotics up your nose, do they? Well, get some rest and take care of yourself. I'm glad you got a doc who knew how to take charge.

I guess I never really knew what a sinus infection was. 2 days with treatment and I actually feel quasi-normal!

They should really call it something else. something scary.

So glad to hear your feeling better!! These things take some time to go away. So rest and drink plenty of fluids and maybe a probiotic since your taking a high dose of antibiotics. Just think you will be feeling better by turkey day
