Steroidal sprays provide some relief, but I'm not thrilled about using them long-term. Any natural alternatives that people have personally found to be helpful? Thanks.

I have to agree with you on the steroid meds. This is only a temporary fix. Figuring out what causes your sinusitis is important.
I have allergies and flush the nasal cavaties with a Neti Pot. You can buy these at a health food store or online. I make my own rinse, but they do sell them. This has helped a lot.
You can also clear your sinuses by gently inhaling vapors of a freshly grated horseradish. Do this slowly and cautiously. But it will clear any congestion!

Sinusitis is chronic swelling of the sinuses. This can also be called an upper respiratory infection. This can be caused by bacteria and virus which can cause CFS, including Epstein Barr Virus (mono). CFS is a syndrome, a name used by doctors for a collection of symptoms they haven't diagnosed. Some Doctors will stop with a ' CFS diagnosis', satisfied in giving your illness a name, and treat the symptoms. Has your doctor taken a sinus swab for culture and testing in order to find the cause? You may need to see an infectious disease specialist who is familiar with the causes of CFS and will order the correct blood tests to obtain a diagnosis. Some bacteria and viral infections also require long term combination antibiotic treatment which many doctors won't provide. However, a Doctor knowledgeable in the causes and most recent treatments will be able to help. I hope you can catch this early and knock it out.

Preventative mearures help a lot.
You can try adding a regular diet of 10 grams undenatured whey protein once a day.
This should answer most of you health issues.

You must go to the doctor for an antibiotic and FINISH the medicine completely. It will help greatly. Plus stay away from triggers.

Try douching your nose (*snorting) some very salty warm water - frequently.
