Who diagnosed it as an allergic reaction? It sounds to me like you did something very stupid. You need to stop self treating! All you seem to be doing is making matters worse. At this point you need to see your doctor and tell him/her what you did. Maybe they will be able to get you the proper help.

It's strange though when I wash now with plain water I still feel pressure and some pain in my sinuses- maybe I have a septum problem? I guess you need to get a CT scan
what is it with people are always harassing me when I am suffering from these terrible diseases that may be incurable

the above image is not aimed at brenda by any means

we have a member who comes up with all these strange bizarre things - he seriously needs HELP and whatever we can offer here isn't the kind of help he needs

can't your sinuses be backed up with germs and infection?
I have been SUFFOCATING in my sleep because of this weird congestion, I can't get good therapy on the bipap because I keep taking the mask off
I am just shocked that I was perfectly healthy in my early 30s and suddenly had asthma and sleep apnea from unknown causes

ok finally after doing the rinse 5 times I feel I can breathe better
I think I'm going to use just table salt with water and neilmed solution

I don't know why I feel this pressure and pain when I rinse the left nostril, maybe there is something wrong with my sinuses or septum or the left passageway?

it's weird I also have hemmarhoids and right after using some cooling gel and HC cream and prednisone my nasal cavity started to leak fluid and drain- I've suspected for a while I might have Crohn's disease which I've read can affect the nose and mouth too.

but can you do the rinse with fluoride or maybe with hydrogen peroxide at 40:1? I think I'm going to use just table salt with water

You really are sick.....but not with apnea. Hemorroids and crohns disease are bowel problems... not breathing....wait maybe they are all in your head and thats what is causing your apnea. And to TRY and set you straight...this not not your thread...you don't own it. Some wonderful folks have been trying to help you, but obviously you don't want help, you just want to babble as nothing you say makes sense....how old are you... you sound just like a 10 year old that is trying to convince others that he is very smart..but in fact isn't doing a very convincing job.
BYE NOW!
Started cpap in 2010.. still at it with great results.

it's as if the peroxide contacted an open wound in my sinuses- I also felt the burning a little when using the nasal mask which made it uncomfortable, but my mucus is usually clear or white

the allergist told me my sinuses were backed up and gave me nasonex which didn't seem to do much- maybe the structure of my septum or sinuses is bad and they don't drain; I also have a strange small bump on my nostril

Why in the world would you rinse your sinuses with hydrogen peroxide? I have finally realized you are a troll. You start all these ridiculous threads and hijack any threads you can. I'm sure your doctors are convinced you are a nutcase.
I recommend we do not respond to sickwithapnea any longer, obviously she/he has Munchhausens where a person continually comes up with medical problems, many of which they cause themselves. I would characterize the treatments sickwithapnea comes up with as unorthodox and dangerous. Sinus rinse with flouride?
Sorry- there was a great suggestion made not to feed the trolls. From now on I won't feed this one.

My impression of this "troll" is that it is a teenager giggling with friends as they poke fun at people with medical problems.

Either that or it is a person with a mental illness who is unable to distinguish 'other'.....everything is about ME......but in either case I agree that ignoring would be a good idea since both trolls and narcissists feed off attention.

Starve them and they shrivel up or move on to a new feeding trough.

You burnt all the delicate membranes inside you nasal passages with your stupidity they are now swollen and inflamed and you are surprised that a regular proper rinse is uncomfortable? Like really? Dude go and see a proper doctor.

I am sure next thing we will hear is that this person decided to shove leeches up their nose.

what is this blood with the mucus that came out when I first rinsed? not sure if that is good or not?

I am still suffocating in my sleep and I am probably at 75% O2 which can cause brain damage and organ damage and is unacceptable
anyway there could be a lot of germs and old fluid in your nasal passages and water alone doesn't seem to be enough to clean it out
if you are a troll please stop harassing me since I am SICK

Yes, I argee you are sick. The brain damage from your low O2 is obvious. I'd certainly be in fear for the health of my other organs.

You're right of course. I don't know why I can't get hold of myself and quit the feeding. This is someone with a lot of imagination!
