Best way to reach maxillary during sinus rinse?

I’ve been filling my sinus with my head tilted to the side and chin up, but it’s still hard to reach. I’ve tried standing and angling the bottle to my ear like with nasal sprays. So far it’s been easier to reach sphenoid and ethmoid (still a challenge) than it is the maxillary.

Tips?

How does this work—does ferritin lower first, and when that’s empty—iron stores decrease?

I don’t fully understand the low ferritin vs anemia. Is low ferritin stage one of anemia?

Why would ferritin be low and other iron tests normal?

At what point is an infusion rushed?

Neurodivergence without adhd or autism

The majority of information I see out there is on adhd or autism, but a professional told me neurodivergence is an umbrella term that encompasses many things. anyone have info on neurodivergence when it’s unrelated to adhd or autism? also have shared traits of “giftedness” in the way I relate to the world and the things around me. Just want to better understand myself in this weird world.

Feeling like you’ll faint after meals? Is this a symptom of low ferritin??

Have you had this with anemia or low ferritin??

Just ate two eggs and a half of an avocado and about thirty mins later got really sweaty, a little gassy, and had a sense of doom like I was dying. Felt the blood drain from my face and limbs. My ferritin was 10.6 last time it was checked.

Have to be careful supplementing iron because I have infections and it makes them worse.

Suggestions on testing radon in small room

I don’t know anything about radon, but I’m curious about it after having dealt with a strange odor that appeared only in my room by the door frame that made me sick whenever I smelled it.

I keep the windows open most of the time, and suddenly after months of smelling it, it no longer appears.

So radon came across me in my search for clean air and I want to test the rooms air quality. Does this mean I would need to keep my window closed for 90+ days to get a clear read on the radon levels? Could I use air purifiers during that time? Air quality has been important to me and I can’t imagine keeping this room shut for 90+ days. It gets stuffy in there quick.

What’s your suggestion?

If your palette isn’t changing no matter what you do—address your sinus infection

Had wider palate up until I started having severe sinus infection. Turned narrow on top and bottom. Was so bad one time I pressed the roof of my mouth and it clicked back into a widened position. Freaked me out. It’s been years and mewing only got me so far.
Finally had an ENT who thought to give me antibiotic in sinus rinse and I’ve combined it with a drop or two of baby shampoo, xylitol saline and one or two drops of betadine. It’s been maybe 2 weeks of rinsing twice a day, ongoing 3 weeks and my upper palate finally fits my entire tongue. My lower palate is widening for once. Haven’t seen that in years.
Doing the pirouette and myginds rinsing positions. Give it a try if you’ve been struggling with sinus infection and narrow palates.

Edit: take a probiotic or drink kefir while doing this. If you swallow the drainage by accident it does affect your gut

Has anyone figured out what that dense, sometimes bubbly congested feeling spot at the lower right abdomen is? Has it gone away?

Have been drinking kefir these past few days and experienced a feeling of the congested spot moving down my intestines, but a feeling of buildup back in that spot again. It’s always less noticeable while using betaine hcl+ digestive enzymes but doesn’t go away completely.

Anyone know what it is/got it examined/it went away?

Plan to bring it up at doctors.
