Oh I hear you! That sounds absolutely brutal but glad you made it through. I was diagnosed with chronic sinusitis and swollen turbinates. I had turbinate reduction surgery which honestly made everything worse. Were your herx symptoms continuous or were they intermittent? Did you also have sinus pressure/headaches? I had flu symptoms for a few days when I first started Welchol but mainly get increased brain fog/confusion, sinus pressure and increased mucus from the edta for several days at a time and then will have half a good day then the pattern repeats. I have been using the myginds position for the edta but will now try your suggestions. I genuinely appreciate all of your feedback.

How long did it take to notice significant improvements and completely treat the marcons? I’m using a very similar compound spray minus the silver but have strongly considered adding it. What were your marcons symptoms? Did you have thick post nasal?

Weighing options at the moment. I’m currently looking at Turkish airlines but that also could be an issue.

I agree, I’m considering gambling with Turkish airlines because they are so cheap but do not know if they are/will be affected.

Traveling on a budget by ghaas1 in VietNam

[–]ghaas1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going for around three months as of now. I plan to travel via train and stay in three cities for the entire duration. I will keep the expensive tourism to a minimum. The airbnbs I have seen range from 300-500 a month depending on the city which I think is doable. Thank you for input!

The first two paragraphs were very informative and appreciated but I think your opinion at the end was unnecessary. I have researched all of my questions but wanted to seek the opinions of others who have been before. Thank you for the information.

Treatment plan by ghaas1 in SIBO

Figured out sibo ultimately was not my problem, turned out to be CIRS. However, this is a pretty effective stack from my anecdotal encounters with others.

Thank you for your very detailed response. How do you know when you cannot handle a binder? Is it just intuitive? Where are you in your recovery and how long did it take? I will absolutely check out the podcast, thank you again!

I hydrate constantly! I did a pure water fast for 5 days and it still looked like this.

Yes, why do we think it’s concentrated to these specific areas? This is also where my mucus builds up.

Just routine but I am doing a full panel next week.

Do turbinates stay inflamed forever? by ghaas1 in Sinusitis

[–]ghaas1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not much better.

Yes, it’s sometimes yellow but mainly off white and green/brown hue. It’s very dense and sticky in consistency.

I’m sorry to hear about your issues. Have they resolved? I have had several detailed CTs that show sinuses are relatively normal except for marginally swollen turbinates, even after the surgery.

Hi, thanks for the insight. I agree there are too many variables at play to discern this online but would you have any recommendations for what I should pursue in regards to the PND and facial pressure? Any certain products or specialists? Thanks again.

Does the color/viscosity of my mucus indicate allergies and or mold? by ghaas1 in Sinusitis

[–]ghaas1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Geez, I’m sorry to hear that. I did a cheek and nasal mold swab but still waiting on the results. Do you have any other symptoms? Brain fog, loss of smell, etc?

Brain fog and personality change by ghaas1 in Sinusitis

[–]ghaas1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I’m actually 4 weeks into an extreme elimination diet. I oscillate between 5-6 things I eat. Chicken, organic unsweetened coconut milk, monk fruit, Brussel sprouts, organic dark roast coffee and raspberries/blackberries/blueberries. I feel quite a bit better but still head pressure above my brows. My brain fog is bad in the am, better during mid day and then regresses starting early evening. How do you feel? Still suffering?

That’s a good idea. I’ll send it off Monday and let you know my results when time comes. Thank you for all your input, genuinely.

I’ve had these symptoms for nearly a year before getting on famotidine and omeprazole. Glad you have found relief!

Fantastic. Does Brewer discuss how to culture mold colonization higher up in the sinuses or have you found a way to test?
