Another sufferer

 I spent an hour this week talking to a woman ( the sister of the man who was refused a tetanus jab for not having the vax ) and she has had bad sinus issues since Christmas. They are really bad and are constantly producing clear mucus, so much so that she cant go on holiday, or socialize , and is having trouble concentrating at work. Even driving is a chore as her head feels dizzy and stuffed up. 

This is not just a cold. I could really relate to her when she said she couldnt stand it much longer. Like me she has been to see a sinus specialist and had an examination using a camera, but this all turned up nothing, just like in my case. She is growing desperate. I suggested from my experience that she should maybe consider an explanation thats outside of the box as they say. Its was not easy suggesting the cause could be stress related, either for her or me admitting that was my situation, but her sinuses could be closing up due to this, or becoming en-flamed with no visual evidence of them being so. 

Ear infections are rife around here and they are constant in schools and in many adults. I feel this is all connected now and a bigger picture is forming that is making me feel less despairing in my condition. There is nothing worse than despair and no answers or evidence when you alone are suffering. Running out options is frightening, medically. Ive known that feeling.

She also gets terrible headaches at one side of her head just as I did. I understood her despair and how isolated you can become when nothing gets better for months and the seasons change and people assume you are getting better ,or just have a cold.
