Hello All,
Well judging from Beth's experience we are all head cases. I am happily counted as one of the "crazed" PND sufferers. I have read a book called "The Sinus Survival" handbook by Dr. Rob Ivker. You can find it at your local health food store. When things get particularly rough for me, there are sections I go back and review. He recommended taking Fish Oil capsules (Omega three source, you can also get at the health food store). I have been taking one capsule three times a day and it has actually helped. I still have many symptoms but it has taken away the very distracting dryness in my throat. I do not know why it works but I feel better.
The irony of this whole situation...at least for me, and, I am sure for many of you, as this insidious respiratory, gastric combo illnes can wreak havoc with your life and, hence, your emotions. So, yes, many of us do get depressed. And then they put you on an antidepressant, which does help, but in my case, further aggravated my PND and dry mouth. Just venting. Some days are better than other. The last few days have been good ones. Please, check out the fish oil capsules and let me know how you do.
