Growing up with CF meant BIG SINUS TROUBLE for me. I’ve had six sinus surgeries. I think my first one was around age 12. CF sinus disease can be brutal! Once infection takes hold in those little cavities it can really wreak havoc, lead to impossible, persistent infection, surgery, and can even affect our lung (and large intestine, but that’s for another post) health. And the headaches! Oh the headaches! Any of you who’ve dealt with CF sinus trouble know exactly what I’m talking about. By about the age 17, I was at the point where my sinus surgeon told me, “I would just have to accept the fact that I would probably need surgery every six months of my life from then on”. BUT, my last sinus surgery was at age 19 and I have not had one since. I just turned 38 last month. How did I change my predicted sinus fate? Research, trial and error and re-trial, diligence...
