saw a specialist late this afternoon..

After months of recurring sinus infections I was told today by the specialist that I had a deviated septum which was probably causing it :lac:
She said my doctor should have spotted that earlier and saved me all those unneeded decongestants pfffft.
I would stand more chance of getting better with Dr Crippen than I would with my doctor!
Pfffft

take care

mick (slightly deviated now)

Hiya and thanks leslaya,
Deviated septum is where the top of the nose by the bridge is twisted underneath and doesn't allow you to breath properly. It also can cause recurring sinus problems and restless sleep
I broke my nose playing rugby years ago (I'm glad i didn't have agoraphobia then...I would have had to pass the ball from the dressing room ) :D
My doc really is a muppet. A few years back i went to him about the fatigue i was suffering and he said it was just anxiety, but I knew it wasn't. It took me about ten weeks of pestering before he gave me a blood test. Two days later he phoned me and told me to come round to the surgery straight away. The blood test showed I had pernicious anaemia! and i needed injections straight away. I'm glad I kept on at him now.
pfffft :D
Hope you are feeling okay
take care
mick
