Interesting Tidbit

A year ago when first seen by Dr. B, my dd was diagnosed with a sinus infection. It was due to his questioning that we came to udnerstand that she couldn't rememeber when she didn't have post nasal drip or phlegm running downt he back of her throat. Dr. B had her begin to use a Netipot two or three times per day and also to use Musinex as needed. For a WHOLE year we could not get her off the Munisex or the NEtipot for more than a few days at a time. THe phlegm would just come back in full force. She would get sinus infections because she didn't have proper drainage, I believe. Well, dd has been being treated for Lyme now for just over two months and I just realized that it has been a good month since she has had to use either Musinex or the Netipot. She is clear of phglem for the first time in a year. I just read somewhere on the web that pepole with lyme disease sometimes suffer from Sinusitis issues. I didn't realize it was related. I can't say for sure that there is a connection, but it seems awfully coincidental.

This would not surprise me at all. Both my daughter and I have a history of sinusitis. The Netipot or Ocean Sinus Irregation has helped us tremendously and since starting abx for Lyme we have not had sinusitis or a drip either. I don't know if it's due to Lyme or MycoP. Both DD and I have high MycoP IgG titers.
