I just learned my allergy medication causes depression and thoughts of suicide. Great right, but it does explain a few things.

Go see an allergy specialist, thats what i did, now i get weekly shots of xolair hopefully they'll start to kick in soon (says it takes a couple months)... ive had DS surgery, tonsils out (helped a lil)... i do nasal flushes, take medication, and nasal sprays on a daily basis and it helps fight it pretty well

damn eric, you got it bad... I got allergy shots for years (weekly, then monthly). DEFINTELY helped out.

Wow, got another sinus headache kicking in today. I'm thinking it might be more weather related though.

Saline irrigation more effective than spray for nasal symptoms

US researchers evaluated 121 adults with chronic nasal and sinus symptoms (stuffiness, congestion, or thick/ discolored nasal discharge) ongoing for over 6 months. Patients were randomized to isotonic saline via spray or as a large volume nasal irrigation instilled into the nostril, similar to the traditional neti pot procedure. After twice daily treatments for 2 months, along with their usual treatments, patients were evaluated using a previously validated instrument, the 20-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-20) score. (Apparently, cardiologists and oncologists are not the only specialists who can invent clever acronyms.) SNOT scores improved approximately twice as much on average in the irrigation group, showing significant changes at both 4 and 8 weeks.
