I've had a long time infection in and around my left jaw, ear and side of neck. I've done quite a bit of ozone injections in jaw, etc.
I've been feeling a lot more ear/side neck involvement since doing the neti pot. It's recently made me more aware that I've been feeling odd in this area for a long time. And my nostril on that side almost always gets stuffed when I sleep.
I'd like to find a good ENT (I have a post over in Seeking). I wanted to ask if there are any dos and don'ts you can think of. A friend of mine yesterday said be careful when they want to do a scope to take a look inside, they often first put a steroid spray in, saying it makes it easier to get the scope in (and they don't usually tell you it's steroids!). Is there anything else I need to be aware of?
Thanks, Tammy

CCSVI causes a number of symptoms in the neck area because it limits the blood perfusion into the area. Venous stoppage in the neck "lock" the toxins and germs/infections/pathogens in the head/neck/jaw area; arteries do not supply the area with enough blood = causing jaw and dental problems.
Take care.

Thank you. All great ideas.
Will start up my lumbrokinase again for biofilm.
I think I am also having fungal issues compacting the problem.

I've got the EXACT same issue Tammy. Been to endless ENTs.. zero assistance. I seriously think CCSVI may be an issue for me, but can't get any help with it.

Oh no! I have been to the ENT several times since this whole lyme thing started in 2010 and he numbs my nose with that spray everytime and I didn't know it was steroids! I wont let him do that again now that I know. Are these pretty low does steroids does anyone know? Something else to think about...
Nothing else I think you need to be aware of at ENT in my experience. The only other thing mine does is look in my ears and throat with his flashlight thing.
