Options mistress, now Doctor Jill I've been following the QCOM threads and now yours lately. It has all helped me immensely with my lovely Q (first bought in June). This thread is fantastic. An options education par excellence. You, as well as the big three: Voltaire, Jim Willie, and Ruffian, have guided me on this phenomenal rollercoaster. What a ride. Thanks for suggesting McMillan's book. I found Thomsett's book helpful, but somewhat simplistic and repetitive. -Che

Hi Jill: Being a Radiologist who owns both MRI and CT scans, I can say I know something about them. There is a place for each if different conditions. CT scan gives excellent anatomical detail about sinus passages and most common reason for recurring sinusitis is those blocked passages. They must be opened up if one is to treat sinusitis effectively. And yes, Antibiotics do get to sinuses. Bacteria get there from nasal passages, or as in your case, tooth abscess. Sinusitis is not pretty and I hope you have it licked by now. Regards: GP

OTOT Jill, #1) You can culture the sinuses you can also do biopsies. Fungal infections for example are a common problem in the sinuses of patients with things like acute leukemia. #2) Most patients with sinus problems do not have infections they have allergies. I saw a patient a number of years ago that had a computer printout over 30 pages long of prescriptions she had been given for " a sinus infection". She had an immune problem that responded to simple intervention and the next 3 years "had no more sinus infections" #3) white cells get everywhere where there is blood. Your sinuses are rich in blood vessels and therfore white cells #4) antibiotics easily get to your sinuses #5) some sinus problems especially in California in my experience can be difficult to control because of environmental factors. Hope that helps. Steve
