NeilMed Sinus Rinse

Ya, this is the next step. I just got back from the CT scan and those things are misrable. I'm trying to figure out anything though, because this has literally been like the worst 2 weeks of my life.

Really?  your CT scan was miserable?  mine took like 2 minutes and wasn't uncomfortable at all, except the little mask they had me wear was a little tight.  what sucked about yours?

interesting.  i wonder if i just was in a newer machine.  I was at the Weill Cornell medical center in New York City.  I wasn't inclosed in anything, i just put that mask on and this large ring went over my head.  it was like this: https://discover8.com/public/images/upload_article_images/ct_scan_1219.jpg

so claustrophobia wasn't an issue.  and it literally took 2 minutes or maybe less. 

Something that I have found to be helpful is to get a baby medicine syringe, lay on the bed with your head hanging over the edge, tilited way back, and fill your sinus cavity up with the saline rinse. (Breath through your mouth) Let that shit sit for a minute or two, then roll over on a towel and blow it all out. Repeat several times. 

Some of it will run down your throat, and then theres the blowing several ounces of water out of your sinus cavity onto a towel -- it's kind of a messy undertaking and not as convenient as simply using the teapot over the sink. However the sensation of the saline rinse working its way through your entire sinus cavity is second to none.

If you are severely inflamed it might not seem to help much at first, but eventually it will work its way through feel like the rinse is wrapping around your brain. lol

During one particularly bad bout (Fuck You Santa Anas) I mixed up a concoction of about a gallon of water (big mouth spring water type jug) cut, squeezed the juice, and dropped the rine of about two lemons... and about a cup and a half of apple cider vinegar, and sipped on that shit all day. It tasted like shit. But immediately after taking a swig the sinus pressure would subside.

Oh shit, I didn't even notice you were in Kentucky too.

Yeah I was born and raised in Louisville. I've had sinus problems my whole life. I spent about 6 years in San Diego with the military. Those Santa Ana winds kicking up out of the desert were the worst.

LOL. That's how I was when I ran across the apple cider vinegar on the internet.
