I don't get the colored discharge like you. I get the white sticky and my ent thinks it might be the septum trying to heal. I get the swelling nasally = the turbinates. It switches from side to side - whichever the gravity is on. It gets really blocked when I lay on one side or the other. I had turbinate reduction 2 years ago and it only helped a little. I have the fibro/myofacial, tmj (that's where the disc(s) in your jaw are messed up - mine is flattened. A lot of people with fibro eventually get tmj. My tmj doc feels that it can affect you nasally (congestion). The cfids - is chronic fatigue immune deficiency - a lot of people with cfids have many allergies - along with fibro. I see the allergist next month and will probably have another skin test to compare to the blood test done recently. The allergist I had said I had no food allergies. But the bloodwork shows an allergy to 30 different foods! I am also being treated for hypothyroid and adrenal dysfunction so it's really cannabis to tell what is truly causing the nasal congestion. Did your doc give you anything for the nasal fungus? If he only gave you an antibiotic, that won't kill the fungus from what I've read. You have to be treated with an antifungal medicine, nasally or oral. I have just started doing a sinus cleanse and it is coming out clear. It helps sooth the membranes, but doesn't help it from still getting very dry. Have you tried that? I also have read that if you see black in the mucous that that is a sign of fungus too. Hope you can get rid of these nasal problems. Dawn2
