We all know how awful chronic rhinosinusitis is and how significantly it reduces quality of life. Fixing our chronic rhinosinusitis issues should be one of the top priorities, if not the most. I am adding the summary of some of the things that I have tried and have found helpful. Please add to this list with your methods and experiences to make it more information-rich and helpful to us all. Before I begin, I want to briefly explain what I believe is the cause of the chronic sinus inflammation/infection vicious cycle for many, including me. This small bit of theory will explain the core idea behind each method and why they are helpful. A lot of us have conditions that make us prone to nasal congestion. These conditions can be deviated nasal septum (DNS), mild allergies, food intolerances, some more serious conditions like Cystic Fibrosis, or perhaps simply narrow nasal passages, or anything else that slightly affects breathing. These conditions may not be enough to cause you significant symptoms alone and you feel fine for some/most of the time. There is slight nasal congestion every now and then, but nothing that causes you trouble for the most part. However, anything that further exacerbates nasal congestion can lead you down the road of thechronic sinus inflammation/infection and that makes things significantly worse. You no longer feel good. All of your usual sinus inflammation/infection symptoms are back -- facial pain, excessive fatigue, headache, brain fog and more. It is not difficult for the nasal congestion to go from slightly bad to bad enough to cause trouble. Anything from a simple viral infection (common cold), more stress than usual, or allergies can exacerbate nasal congestion. For most people, the exacerbated nasal congestion is still not bad enough to cause sinus inflammation. However, for people with already poor breathing / nasal congestion, this extra push is all what is necessary for making things for okayish to horrible. But why does this extra nasal congestion cause sinus inflammation/infection?

Hey everyone, I’ve just opened up the Coping & Interventions course in the Classroom. It’s still a work in progress, and I’ll be adding more over time, but I wanted to share what’s there already in case it’s helpful for where you’re at right now. Take a look and let me know what you think—or if there’s something you’d like to see added: https://www.skool.com/chronic-rhinosinusitis-program-6064/classroom/87809df5

Vitamin-D deficiency is correlated with increased chronic rhinosinusitis symptoms severity. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7007989/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7491765/

Hey guys, sharing some info below on the Buteyko / Frolov method. Make sure to check it out: it’s been very helpful for me to improve my symptoms. Lots of discipline required! https://buteykoclinic.com/
