Ugh. Not feeling like a box of birds this morning.

My chronic sinusitis symptoms have been steadily getting worse over the last 4 days. Hubby said it won't be long now until it turns into a sinus infection, and yep, there's definite evidence of that this morning 😩

So far, observing the improvements I have seen, it worked. Every area I complained about has improved significantly. From what I gather, it should have been the first thing they tried. It was readily available information, if they just wanted to find it.

But,nah, instead let's shut the women up and find them a nice, irrelevant specialty to try, shall we?

So one thing I couldn't get sinus surgeons to pay attention to was the spike in symptoms around the time I would get PMS. I believe it was because thrush is known to thrive in the presence of estrogen, which increases just before the start of menses. I believe thrush growth surged in the sinus increasing vertigo, headache, and ear pain.

Only an oral antifungal like itraconazole would relieve some of the symptoms immediately.
