Sick Solution
Last month I mentioned how I'm sick of being sick since I've had ongoing congestion for over 6 months.
Last week I visited an ENT recommended by a friend and I learned a few things. First that we all have 8 sinus cavities, 4 on each side.
Then I learn that all 8 of my sinus cavities are blocked. The doctor does not believe it is from allergies although that can frequently be the cause.
The solution is surgery. I go in Monday to have balloon sinuplasty procedures. It's an outpatient surgery that should last less than an hour with about a week for recovery.
I'm a little nervous about surgery, but relieved to understand what is wrong and have a solution. I have heard from others who've had the surgery that after recovery you feel so much better and rarely have sinus infections again. I feel pretty good about that.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Although it was not the case for me, I understand from the doctor that this can happen if you have frequent allergies too.
