I thought maybe after the several months of recovery chronic sinusitus might be better. My father has suffered with it for years and I had hoped maybe possibly the one benefit of all this might be a reduction in sinusitus. Based upon your statement Brian I guess I was incorrect in my thinking - can you expand on why this is a side effect of treatment? Thanks Kim
