@hollyanna75, Hey there! Bless you. I have battled chronic sinus infections since the 1980's. I had sinus surgery in 1994 after trying all types of nasal sprays & allergy shots. My sinuses were very narrow and they didn't drain. It was a last resort. I knew going into surgery it was not a cure all, but, I also knew I couldn't keep taking antibiotics for sinus infections several times a year. I would get migraines from all the sinus infection/pressure.

Has the doctor ever done a culture of your sinuses to see what type of bacteria is growing? This was a game changer for me when a 3 month long infection wouldn't clear up. I had 3 types of bacteria growing in my sinuses, so he knew which antibiotic to prescribe. I worked in the health field and I caught everything that walked in the door. My immune system is not good.

Yes, I do have autoimmune issues and Fibromyalgia. I still get sinus infections, but, I guard myself more from being around anyone sick, I do not go outside when the pollen count is high in my area (Pollen.com) and I wear a mask during peak flu/COVID season. I believe having so many sinus infections over the years wore my immune system down and thus, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.

I irrigate my sinus with the Neilmed sinus rinse, use Nasacort, Astelin (Sp?) spray and take Vitamin C, D3, B2, NAC (this is strong and it will dry you out too much. I only can tolerate 1/4 capsule) Magnesium Glycinate & Zinc. Also, my ENT doctor suggested switching nasal sprays occasionally. I just switched from Flonase to Nasacort. Please talk to your doctor before trying any of these supplements.

The sinus surgery helped me to breathe better and opened up my narrow sinuses so the bacteria would not get blocked in them. I still get about 2-3 sinus infections a year. I never get a cold....it goes straight to a sinus infection for me.

Praying for you as I know how chronic sinus infections make you feel. Blessings & Prayers....
