I've been having awful sinus problems for the last 6 weeks.It just wont clear up.I was reading online and read that sinus problems can be connected to thyroid problems.Wow! i didnt know that! I'm not sure how that is connected,but it could be.


Anyone else a chronic sinus sufferer? have any tips for chronic inflamation?

Had my ultrasound done today.Could not tell anything by the way the technician was acting although she stopped after a minute and went to re-check my old tests.Than asked me if i had had a biopsy,which was unsettling.I get results in 2 weeks when I see my endocrinologist.sinus headache roaring away today..:(

Hi ThusFar....I have an appointment to see my endocrinologist this Friday and will get my results at the appointment.Also had new bloodwork done last Friday and will get those results too.Ill post all my test results.I know there are still nodules because I watched her measure them,but dont know if they shrunk or got bigger.I didnt feel comfortable asking her.She did stop a minute into the procedure to reference my last test results as they were done at the same place..
I'm still having daily sinus pain,inflamation and headaches.I thought it was getting better but with the heat on,its worse again.Need to go back to my gp but avoiding it. Thxs for checking on me..:-)
