Anyone else want to rip their sinuses out?
OMG.......the allergies and the constant pressure. I'm miserable.
I've tried every med there is and nothing works.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Try Ayr nasal spray. I've been using it daily (twice a day) for a couple of years and it helps to reduce some of the sinus/allergy issues.

Re: Anyone else want to rip their sinuses out?
No, I had the doctor do it for me. 
Unfortunately, I don't have any tips/tricks - nothing worked for me besides surgery. I think I was on every single medication made for sinuses, and none helped. Hopefully yours isn't that bad.
ETA: I now use the Neil-Med Sinus Rinse kit - and it's great. That might help you get things cleared out. They recommend that people do it all the time, even when not sick. (Since I am recovering from surgery I do it 4x a day - but when I'm healed I will probably do it 2x a day.)

Re: Anyone else want to rip their sinuses out?
because i'm pregnant - i am suffering more than ever before. I normally get an allergy shot every year, but this year the doc said nope...
i take zyrtec every day which NORMALLY helps with the headaches - but not really anymore...and i use Mucinex Nasal Spray RELIGIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Anyone else want to rip their sinuses out?
I was like that last week.
Claritan D12 helped me a lot!!! I took that for the pressure and motrin for the headache -- the combination worked well for me.

Re: Anyone else want to rip their sinuses out?
i told my Dh to decapitate me b/c that would be less painful then the pressure in my head.
and im pregnant so theres not much i can do at times.
I too have the Neil Med sinus rinse..go out and buy it and do it 2 or 3 times a day. you'd be amazed at the gunk that stuff gets out.
i find the saline solution to be quite soothing too.

Re: Anyone else want to rip their sinuses out?
I love my neti pot- I have tried nearly every OTC thing and nothing worked. The neti pot takes some getting used to and I still have some issues, but nothing like before.

Re: Anyone else want to rip their sinuses out?
Me! I ended up going to the ENT and had a sinus infection and my allergies were flaring up. I was told to use a neti pot, given Veramyst nose spray, and I am now on antibiotics too. My stomach now kills me from this.

ITA!!!! I'm a recent convert to the neti pot and although I still have some symptoms, overall I feel much better.

Re: Anyone else want to rip their sinuses out?
I have a nasal irrigation system which is basically a glorified neti pot. It really helps when used regularly.

Huge neti user. It helps so much! Good luck, I hope you find relief. Not sure where you are. I got the eucalyptus oil at Sherry's Health food in Babylon.
Feel Better!

Re: Anyone else want to rip their sinuses out?
Ugh, yes. I've been sick on and off for 4 months. This is by far the worst. I lost my voice, my taste buds, my hearing, etc. I am on my second antibiotic. And I think DD has them too.
I should mention, I never had these problems in NY. I'm down south now and the allergies are  .
Feel better sufferers!

I lost my hearing as well. It is so annoying.
