I have struggled with sinus issues since I was a child. I get red flushed cheeks, face pain, etc. I’ve tried all the suggestions on this board and more, and nothing has really helped.
I recently had a CT scan that found inflammation in my maxillary sinuses. My ENT has said I would be a good candidate for surgery.
Has anyone had any experiences of surgery? I have severe/moderate CFS. I am stronger now than I was but I am aware that things could always cause me to relapse back into severe. Moderate CFS is bad, but severe CFS is another level of suffering — so I am fearful. I don’t know whether to risk the surgery in case it helps me? When I get a sinus infection now my level of functioning goes right down. I can become dizzy, confused — light and sound sensitivity worsen. The fatigue is awful. I know I need to get a handle on this inflammation, but it’s harder than it sounds.
I would welcome any advice or opinions on the operation.
