I'll be glad when summer is over, heat is NOT my friend

I just can't tolerate heat anymore, its so humid. I don't get out but a few times a month briefly but it's so miserable. My face gets so red from the heat and the heat makes me feel sick.

On top of that I have a horrible sinus thing going on. My left ear is bothering me, using garlic oil for that, my sinuses are draining so much, I go through tons of tissues and have a lot of drainage into my throat causing a cough and feels like a lump in throat from irritation and constant draining. I'm on antibiotics for it but more often than not they don't help with a sinus infection. I'm also using a neti pot several times a day.

I realized today that I've been sick for so long that I don't know what it's like to feel normal or feel good anymore.

I have prayed so long and so hard but I am almost out of hope. There is nothing left for me to try.

I don't mean to sound so down but it just seems like to be a never ending battle with one more problem after another. Maybe I'm just starting to accept that I won't ever get well.

PrayingForAMiracle, humidity does impact me a lot worse than heat. I am very comfortable when the temperature is in the upper 80's as long as it is not humid. Because I live in the Chicago area, winters are brutal and it depresses me that the weather is getting colder.

Can you tell me more about how you are using the garlic oil for your left ear? I too suffer from left ear clogging at times.

As for sinuses, I had that before and Rifampin cleared them up pretty good. An MRI did show swelling of the sinuses before I started to take Rifampin so i know it was some sort of infection.

As for not knowing what normal is, I completely understand what you mean. I have been sick for 2 1/2 years now and my old self is all but a forgotten memory. Even though I am much, much better that I was early in the infection, I still have issues such as chronic fatigue that remind me of my illness when I try to do normal things.

Accepting that I won't ever be my old self has helped me cope with my illness and helps me deal with whatever today brings. If tomorrow is mediocre, well, so what....maybe the day after will be better (I tell myself). An on those days that I am almost normal, I enjoy them so much that I daydream of them for days afterwards.

There have been times during these last 2 1/2 years that I wasn't sure if I was going to wake up the next day. Yet here I am still

Louise74, mold is not the issue, we checked into that. Actually there are many people like myself that haven't gotten well yet.

What about root canals? Do you have alot or any? I'm doing work on my teeth with a holistic dentist and root canals can be a big, big problem and prevent people from getting well.

There are some interesting theories for chronic illness and mouth health us definitely on the list
