Ever since I was a kid, I suffered from sinus issues. From a deviated septum (that caused me to mouth-breathe), to the resulting orthodonture problems, to having my adenoids removed at age 9, and later sinus surgeries, my nose — and that hole in my head called my sinuses, have given me all kinds of trouble. Didn’t get my deviated septum fixed until my mid-twenties, and I was ever so excited to finally be able to kiss without holding my breath!
As a teen, my first ENT (one of my favorite doctors, no longer with us) showed me S-curve pictures of my septum and told me the left side of my nose was only good for hanging glasses off of. When I informed him I had perfect eyesight, he declared, “Well, it isn’t much good for anything, then, is it?”
These days, after three more recent procedures, tho I can breathe better, I am still having recurring sinus infections, and days of resulting migraines. Visited the ENT surgeon today to see if it is time to have that nasty cyst removed from my left sinus. Luckily for me, we are going to start on a round of allergy tests first, and see if we can at least stop the sinus pressure that causes this. Let’s hope I don’t have to give up too many of my favorite locales and foods in order to stop this cycle of pain!
Oh no! I hope this works for you!
