Hi Shellycheval,
I personally didn't have any sinus infections , but i my father did have . His was really advanced and needed complicated surgery [the infection started draining in the mouth cavity through a hole that has opened up ]
No intention here to scare you/anybody , I assume your's is minor ; - anyways ,this might help [at least to know].
The doctors said there was no other way out but surgery and it had to be done rather quickly [in extreme cases, infection can climb and create brain damage/infection]
Surgery meant leaving a big scar on the face and a very sensitive sinus , witch meant he had to be constantly careful no to create irritations.
Before enrolling into surgery , he decided to go see an acupuncturist [well this one was a very good one ,-many acupuncturists today don't make much difference IMO]
and he was told he would be cured in 2-3 months ..WOw , we didn't believe that !
To cut it short , he was going there 2 times a week [as you mesure time :D] , if my memory serves me well - so that would make about 25 sessions .
Just to tell you , just after 2 weeks , the difference was huge...-still , everybody was a little skeptical about it [since the infection was advanced].
The doctors were telling him he was making a huge mistake and it will be too late in 3 months ....but they were wrong - when they redid the scan, everything was clean with no signs of anything left .
I'm not saying it is fun to get needles everywhere on your body nor am I saying that it will work for everybody the way it did to my father ...all I know is that it worked quite fast , clean with no side effect whatsoever and he never had to worry about sinus ever since. [its funny , it sounds like i'm selling a product here :D]
I've hard fascination stories before but since I didn't know how it worked , I discredited them as being rare happy tellings from mouth to mouth.
Shellycheval ,I believe there are always ways if you are truly looking for them ; I wish you fast recovery ;)
BTW,
I thought I'll add this bit - Funny enough, this acupuncturist doctor who cured so many in his native country and in the states , died of cancer . Funny how one has the drive to save others but not himself .
