I have been reading your site where the young13yr old had chronic hyperplastic eosinophilia sinusitis
These 2 folks wrote in the year2004 so hopefully there may be more good news for this diagnosis
As this is a chronic inflammatory disease would proteolytic enzymes, be an appropriate treatment
I am presently a 64 yr old retired ER nurse having worked full time for over 35 yr ended up with a staph infection in the sinus and after several infections had 2 surgeries on the sinus and I am still taking steroids Flovent inhaler 2000mcg daily and nasal spray rhinacort 2 daily I am told that is the equal of 15mg of oral prednisone.
I had to resign because of fatigue and not being unable to get well enough to get back to my nursing position.
I was told it could be an antigen response to the staph infection or that a viral sinusitis cause the process to cause me chronic eosinophilic sinusitis I do not have any allergies and I was told I didn't have asthma.
I am left wondering where do i go from here of course I would like to decrease steroid use.
Before the first surgery in 2006 and until now this has been very debilitating and really affects the quality of my life. I do sinus positive pressure sinus rinses at least twice daily since 2005
I look forward to your help and any information that could hel[p me
Until 2005 I had been very well active jogging working fulltime and enjoying a full life.
So my heart goes out to any one else with this diagnosis
Thank you
