Sinus Migraines

[coltsfan715]

Sinus rinses.

I didn't do these until after I had transplant but can honestly say I wish that I had. I had constant sinus headaches for years. I was having some issues post transplant with my sinuses and the docs told me they wanted me to start doing them, so I gave it a shot. They do not offer immediate relief necessarily but after a few days of doing them (twice a day) I started feeling a heeping amount better.

I have been doing the rinses twice a day for about 4 months now and can tell a huge difference. My horrendous sinus headaches are virtually gone - on really humid days I have a problem with them regardless but otherwise they are gone. I don't get post nasal drip and that constant throat clearing like I used to do, and my nose does not run and drip constantly like it used to (you know the constant sniffle).

I would give them a try. You can find something to rinse your sinuses with at a local drug store, like Walgreens or CVS or Eckerd probably. I normally go to Walgreens or CVS.

Take Care and hope the headaches get better.

I too am dealing with some sinus pain and headache, I always reserve the word migraine for when I can't get out of bed pain.. but I am not to far from that now..

I am on antibiotics, my NJ team just called me in some nose sprays but also I always do, pulmozyme or mucyomist or usually both up the nose and it really helps


My CF nurse told me that at the conference pari had a new thing for the nose to help with sinus stuff..

Hope you feel better soon

THE WORST!!!

For medicine, I take Exedrine if I can catch the migraine before it gets massive. Once it crosses "the line", only sleeping will help. I usually put my husband's 5 lb ankle weight over my eyes (sounds weird, but it really helps) and fall asleep. It works for me

Thanks for your input. These are actual migraines as I am sensitive to the light, to sound, to motion...stomach is queasy. It is in my forehead so I'm not sure sinus rinses would help it. I do them for the maxillary pain, tho.

I used to take Excedrin for them but I bleed very easily and can't take anything w/ aspirin anymore. Now only the Imitrex helps, but only if I catch it soon enough and like I said, I'm limited to 7 a mo. so I run out when I'm having them this often.

Anyway, thanks for your advice!
