Aloha Kakahiaka Group (good morning  I mentioned my ENT doc stated my deviated septum might have something to do with my eye pain. I found the handout he gave me on Monday. It reads like this: Pt instructions for 'Headaches caused by septal deviation with impingement on the Turbinates" Keep Oxymetazoline (Afrin or generic) nasal spray available at all times. As soone as you feel a headache beginning, spray both nostrils and sniff deeply. After five (5) minutes, repeat. DO NOT USE MORE OFTEN THAN EVERY FIVE (5) DAYS WITHOUT RESTING YOUR NOSE FOR TWO (2) DAYS. I started using Afrin and another one he prescribed Fluticasone Propionate (Flonase) as instructed for the past two days. I don't feel any change. The only thing is a annoying feeling in my throat. Will contiue as recommended for about a week but seriously, don't think it's effective for headache my eye pain. In fact the pain is still stuck in my left eye. That's my two cents worth. Just thought I'd share it with you all. It was worth a try as I do have a deviated septum. Perhaps more information will be found on the CT and that will lead us in a different direction. Aloha ~ Liz I wear this ribbon because I have been disabled by an unknown pain in my eyes. I was diagnosed with NDPH at Mayo Clinic July 2008 and Sunct Syndrome in June 2007. I fit several different types of headache diagnosis's but no treatment / medications have been effective. I lost my left eye to a spontaneous detached retina at age 19. I wear this ribbon because I believe there's an answer / cure out there; despite my affliction is approaching two years.
