Sol:
If you want to use CS (your own solution) then you need a Grossan irrigator
tip for your water pik.
Don't try it without the proper implement, which can be found here:

Make sure it will fit your model waterpik.
Another option that we have used is a pressurized nasal spray:
We really like this one:
http://www.drugstore.com/qxp179975_333181_sespider_1_1/ocean/ultra_sterile_saline_nasal_mist.htm
It contains "Ringer's Solution" and does a great job of flushing out your
sinus passages.
It is pressurized, so you don't need to squeeze it, just depress the
irrigator.
You can get quite a few sprays out of it before it is exhausted.
Just be careful not to spray in your eyes. It keeps coming out for a little
while after you release it.
This or something like it may be found in your local drug store.

Subject: CS>sinus infection/sinus washing
Due to chronic very extreme pain for the past 6 + weeks, requiring
actual narcotic pain meds, which in turn caused extreme dry mouth, I did
not recognize a sore throat as an actual infection until I had a sinus
infection. Damaged discs in cervical spine, C3/4, C5/6, so I find I cannot
really use my neti pot often or effectively enough to get rid of it,
because of not being able to hang my head and turn my neck over the sink
without adding more pain and stress to the already injured
discs.............etc, etc.
So I'm using CS and salt to wash them out as much as possible, but it
isn't enough.
Questions:
Anyone ever used a dental irrigator at very low flow in place of a neti
pot?
Is it adviseable (or perhaps dangerous?) to add a tiny drop of essential
oil of oregano to the "wash water"????
Neuropathy in my fingers and hands from the damaged discs prevents me
typing very long, and also can't sit at the screen very long, so I'm
asking here for help and ideas instead of searching archives, which I just
can't do right now.
Anybody got any better ideas for ways I can get an effective thorough
sinus wash with a bum neck?
thanks,
sol
