sinus surgery?

[caseylovessamuel]

I am 18 yrs old female w/ CF. I was wandering if anybody could tell me at what point was sinus surgery necessary? I have 1-2 PICC Lines every year. My inection always seems to start as sinus & allergies, then it moves into my chest. Can anyone give me some information about this??

I think the only way to tell is to see an ENT specialist. You can get a referral from your CF doc. I've had 3 sinus surgeries and really didn't know I was ready for them until my ENT doc told me I was.
Do you irrigate your sinuses. That is one good way to help delay the need for surgery. Daily irrigation will also help with the drainage into your lungs.
Good luck!!!

That was the start of my problems 2 years ago, i kept getting sinus infections and they spead to my lungs. U should definetly go see an ENT. I've had 3 sinus surgeries since i was 16 and they help for about 6 months then all of my problems come back, but i ain't had windows put in. Thats most likely wat they will want to do.

Ya I totally can relate. About every time I get sick is due to my sinuses then all the crap goes into my lungs.
Definitely meet with an ENT because they know for sure whether you need surgery or not. I am 19 and have had quite a few surgeries. I started draining blood a lot and recently started acupuncture. It actually works! I would drain all night and wake up choking on blood. Ever since I started, I have not had any problems with them which is pretty rad.
I am not saying it will do wonders for everyone, but it is definitely something to look into. I think looking into alternative ways are great because you always need a balance w/ western medicine. Certain foods and fruits help with inflammation and infection in the sinuses. I think my mom bought a book on it and she has been giving me fish oil and fruits like pineapple ever since.
Hope you figure everything out!
