...I purchased a sinus flushing kit today. I went to a local CVS and purchased a Ayn (sp:?) sinus cleaning kit.

I haven't gotten to use it yet. We went out post-Christmas shopping for the wife, then went to Famous Dave's where the Devil's Spit sauce kept my passages mostly clear while I ate. Then on the way home, it felt like half of Lake Michigan had flooded my sinuses, pressing down on my nasal passages. I finally get home, after hitting EVERY RED FRICKIN' G*DD*MN LIGHT ALONG THE WAY, get inside, open the package, start reading the instructions...

...and then my sinuses clear all on their own.

F**k!

Details to follow when sinuses clog once again.

Lake Michigan returned agian, so I flushed my sinuses.

It worked for a sum total of about 5 minutes, then they became clogged again.

While I'll admit that they're not as bad as before - instead of Lake Michigan, I've got Lake St. Claire pressing on my nostrils - I don't see how this fixes my sinus issues.

Here is what I use daily.

During the fall/winter months during cotton ginning season this has been the only thing to keep me halfway clear.I still use a flush at least twice a week.BTW the first few times you use this you will think it burns like hell but after a couple days it's no prob.If you're really a big puss they make a mild formula.................but it clearly says on the bottle "for queers and barbie dolls only".LOL

I'd be less afraid of the woosie factor, and more concerned about what it would do to you sinuses with extended use. The sinus area is a pretty delicate area tissue-wise.

With that stuff, I'd have to do it probably once or twice a day. My concern would be further damaging my sinuses worse than they already are (I ruptured them as a kid).

It's not nearly as harsh as I made it out to be..........as a matter of fact it's a quick sting,sinuses break up over the next few minutes and then all clear for the next 6-8 hours.I haven't had a sinus infection since I started using it a year ago............and I'm usually good for 2-3 a year.

... a few drops of freshly pressed garlic juice mixed with distilled water will flush the sinuses and keep them clear for days ... and prevent infections ...

Clear sinuses for 6 - 8 hours has me intrigued.

My sinus issues are coming to an end. However, I might just buy a bottle and try it once to see how effective it is the next time I have these problems.

Devils spit burgers are the best. Clears out the sinus' as well.

Potts - its most likely ayr you are using. I prefer the neilmed brand bottle but either will work. As for solution I like grossan breath-ease XL because ti has a buffer and some sort of lube.

My ent claims extended use is not an issue and is actually good for you because it stimulates the silia to do their thing. My pulmanologist (sleap apnea doc) thinks its a great once a day to twice a day thing because the CPAP machine can dry things out ....even with the humidifier.

It is not an immediate fix but after awhile you will see an improvement. Did any cool stuff come out? Try plugging the sink so you can see it all. I look at turds too and still miss the cyst that was removed from my ankle. They should have let me see it so I could say goodbye.

I'll find a link on my sleap apnea BB that has extensive info on this and home made recipes

Confession

I am cutting way back on cigars due to sinus and lung issues and considering cutting down to almost nothing (will never quit but can see it becomming a once in a while sorta celebratory thing.... or is that celibatory?)

TW

Yea you were right the second time.............it's celibate.

Ron

Send me your cigars tee, thanks.

Ram

TW must have some new secret info about cigar smoke health issues...

Don't forget to wrap them in lettuce, like X did when shipping.

nah drafter... just know they aggrivate my issues

Enjoying your little douches boys? Screw that....spoonful of wasabi make you right again.

teedubbya:

Actually, one nostril was so plugged, nothing drained out my mouth (the wash is supposed to drain out your mouth. The pressure simply ejected the rinse water out of the nostril being cleansed.

The second nostril was almost as bad, but nothing "solid" came out, only clear fluid (with a little bit of mucous mixed in to make it slightly slimy.

I was washing out my moustache for several minutes afterwards.

I'll try again tomorrow morning. I'm using a perscription antihystimine (or at least that's what I think it is) via an inhaler - and I don't want to wash out the medicine.

I've had it so bad I had to douche the sinus' multiple times.Any nasal meds can be used once clear.

Ron

thats my routine.... rinse each then nasonex each
