Okay so 2 years ago I did a CT scan of my sinuses and the findings were suggestive of pansinusitis with sparing of the right frontal sinus. after that my ENT put me on a montelukast and fexo combination which had been helping with my symptoms for the past 2 years. I had constant headaches, facial pressure, year round cold-like symptoms, dizziness and sometimes I used to jerk awake while sleeping because I couldn't get enough air.

Now my parents said its been too long on this medicine and I should stop taking it and my ENT also told me to stop taking it. He said I should move to allegra and consider taking some immune boosting injections. But honestly I felt comfortable taking that medicine, it allowed me to live normal and not be afraid of simply drinking cold water and falling sick. I know staying on meds forever is not an option but it still sucks.

What I'm trying to ask here is if any of you have any success stories of curing chronic sinusitis without medication or any alternativea that can be taking long term without side effects.

We can talk about your goals for learning English and structure all the sessions around that.

Posting this so that nobody joins them and suffers like I did.

I joined an online english teaching platform called clapingo in may. During onboarding we were told that the payments will be made at the end of each month.

End of the month comes and nothing. There's an in-app tutor support so I spoke to them and they kept saying "payment will be cleared soon" for WEEKS.

It's the end of June now and that's basically the only recycled response I keep getting from them whenever I text them.

I mailed the company as well through the same E-mail they sent me the onboarding details on and nobody is replying there either.

I even found the CEOs account on LinkedIn and messaged him on there and he told me he'll look into the matter, then radio silence from him as well.

For a little background I developed Agoraphobia and health anxiety after covid hit and have been miserable ever since. Back in 2021 and 2022 it was so bad that I couldn't go literally anywhere without someone with me or having an anxiety attack before it. I messed up my social life, mental health, physical health and basically everything. I gave up on my dream of going abroad for college and joined one near where I lived in 2023. But that, surprisingly was the one thing that helped me come out of my Agoraphobia. the first year was horrible but the only way out is through so I gritted my teeth and endured it.

Now I'm a LOT better than 5 years ago. I completed my bachelor's back in April and decided it was time for the ultimate challenge. Going on an international trip. I was hesitant but in the end I just booked it. I need to go. I might've not been able to do my bachelor's abroad but I would like to do my masters in another country. So this is like a trial run. I'm going with one college friend of mine so that's a little reassuring.

Objectively, I know that this is something I need to do for myself and I know myself a lot better than I did back then. I know my triggers and how to manage them, BUT OMG IT'S SO STRESSFUL. I'm completely calm on the outside while freaking out inside. I want this trip to be a success story and I don't want to ruin it for my friend either.

I appreciate any advice or maybe share your own success stories so that I can just calm myself down a little. It would mean much more if it comes from people who actually know how debilitating health anxiety can be.

So my college friend wanted to go on an international trip and asked me if we should go. I said yes. The problem is this friend doesn't like to socialize with people she doesn't know which includes my other childhood friends. I did pitch that maybe we should invite more people but she said no just the 2 of us would be enough.

Now when I told my other friend about it she was mad. I've actually never been on an overnight trip before as I used to have agoraphobia and GAD so this is actually a huge step for me in my healing process to get out and see the world.

I explained to the friend that since this was my other friends plan there was not much I could do as I can't force her to go on a weeklong trip when she doesn't like socialising with other people and I also told her that we can take some other trip after I come back because I will have more confidence and control over my body. But they're still being pretty distant and giving very dry responses.

I honestly don't know what to do as we've been friends for 14 years and I don't want something like this to come between that. It's also my first trip so I don't want to be guilt ridden throughout it.
