Lockit -> RE: Fibro sub???? (3/20/2009 2:54:02 PM)

I had one doctor test me extensivily and he said my body was reacting as if it were allergic to all sorts of things, but that I wasn't really allergic and I would have the sinus problems no matter what we did. Now with the fibro I can get viruse's... but with CFS in combination, when it is active I cannot get a virus because I already have a virus and this has been the way I see it work with me. But if my CFS is in remission, I can get a virus. Many who have fibro also have CFS. It is hard to tell between the two sometimes. So the sinus problems are a common complaint with people who have one or both of these things and it isn't always an immune system being weaker. It involves the immune system but isn't always weak. Confusing eh? lol It may seem like you have a killer virus and really you don't. It is just one of those weird fibro/cfs things. Taking sinus medication may help, but long term use could be a problem. I would be very careful. That is why if there is a natural way... I do not mean natural products... they are just as dangerous in many ways... but a way that means no treatment other than what you can do without products... that is the way I go with it. With all the meds or whatever you could be taking to treat symptoms or making yourself comfy... it can get complicated. That is why my little vibrator trick is something I like. I will also on bad days suck on a cough drop for maybe half the drop. That and the vick's stick can help during.. um... certain forms of play! hehe Also I found that doing things from a side angle so one side of the nose stays free.. helpful.
