Hopefully your DO is right and it's just inflammation. *gentle hugs*

Oh lord. I had an awful time with my sinuses last year. The only thing that helped them was one of those sinus rinses--like a squeeze bottle with a salt/baking soda solution.

Dear Universe: Please leave editrx alone for a while. Except to shower her with bon bons. You've been quite generous with the crap this year; go send crap to someone else. If you must send her things, please see bon bons, above.

Very truly yours,

The Management
