ENGAGED

Saturday after class, my fiancé, formerly my boyfriend, picked me up for a surprise weekend getaway. We drove to the Oxford Inn in Oxford, Maryland, dropped our bags and headed out for a pick nick. Mike led me to a lovely bench overlooking the water at sunset. He got down on one knee and proposed. I said YES!

perpetual sinus headache

Finally, I traveled to the doctor last Friday because I could barely move. My symptoms included sinus headache, sinus pressure, exhaustion, cloudy head. She gave me Zyrtec. I do not feel the Zyrtec is kicking (from the Lanham reading) my sinuses enough! Any sinus miracles I need to try? Have you heard of the procedure below? It sounds very exciting!


Earlier this year a new surgical treatment for sinusitis was introduced to the American public. It involves a small, flexible, sinus balloon catheter that is placed into the nose to reach the sinuses. The sinus balloon catheter, similar in concept to technology found in cardiology, urology, and vascular surgery, is gradually inflated to gently restructure the previously blocked nasal passage, maintaining the integrity of the sinus lining and restoring normal sinus drainage and function. Some surgeons anecdotally report the new devices effectively relieve sinus ostia obstruction with less post-operative pain, scarring, and bleeding than typically seen with traditional instruments. A recently published investigation reports the safety and efficacy of the new devices in relieving sinus obstruction during endoscopic sinus surgery in a small group of ten patients.
