For a couple months out of the year, every year for the past decade or so, I get these insane sinus headaches. They come on all of a sudden and take me to my knees. It feels like someone is literally pounding a 6" spike into my eye. I haven't found a cure. Sometimes a boiling hot shower with lots of steam works, I use pressure points to drain my sinuses, nette pots, laying my head back beyond what was ever intended, just about anything I can think of. Some of these things work sometimes but nothing always works. I'm just getting over one as I type but usually I get them about an hour after I go to bed. I believe the cause is the change in weather and the switch from humid air in the summer to dry heat in the winter from various heaters. Yes, I have tried humidifiers with varying success. So now that I have told my tale of woe, any suggestions or does anyone else suffer?

Grandma used to shove a finger full of Vicks up our nose whenever we complained with it. Don't remember for sure if it worked or not but we quit complaining.

I've had a sinus headache most of this year, finally went to the Dr's and had a mri said I got a pansinutitis. I got alot of the same symptoms but my eyesight is jacked up too from it. Got some antibiotics now, guess I'll see if it goes away.

I get basically the same thing, but not a constant headache … it come and goes and seems to be located several inches behind my left eye. I drink extra water and coat the inside of my nose with Vicks. If they are at night when going to bed … I put Vicks on forehead, around my eyes and under my nose and place a paper hanky so it sticks to forehead and covers my nose and I breath in Vicks. I seems to work … but it doesn't cure what ever it is the causes it. I guess it has something to do with the dry heat and atmospheric pressure.

Well, I tried the vicks trick with a dab up the nose last night and I was able to get 6 hours or so of sleep so at least that's something. Hopefully this goes away in a few weeks and doesn't last months like last year.

Man if I were hacking and snorting all night my wife would "lovingly" apply a turniquette around my neck. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Are you certain your adenoids left you as a young adult?
Pain or discomfort in the body means there is a "battle" going on. If you still have your adenoids your sinuses would be the battleground.
