Thanks so much for your response.

I thought c. difficile only came from certain antibiotics, such as Cleocin -- you can get it from any antibiotic? Or just from being in a hospital? I have heard about people who have contracted this infection and it seems to take months to get rid of it.

As for the sinuses, there's an anatomical problem that needs to be fixed -- the sprays and solutions are worthless for me right now because they cannot get to where they need to go. I have been putting off this surgery for some time, as I've already had two, and I have another condition which complicates things. I am, however, about to give in and do this, especially since they seem to have found exactly where the problem is.

Thanks again for your input.....and I'm sorry for your loss...
