URG...it seems like my reoccuring sinus infections are tied somehow to my depression/bipolar disorder.

I didn't ever get sick, not even a headache, until my first major depression. Since then I'm sick more than not and meds don't work so it goes on for months, always turning into an upper-respritory infection and last time, turned into bronchitis.

My head feels like it's ready to explode. My ears feel like someone is jabbing a pointy pencil in them and my throat feels like I've got a bouncy ball stuck in my esophagus. It hurts so much...and swallowing feels like someone is cutting my throat with a knife.

Guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has had re-occuring sicknesses along with their disorder?

And...anybody have any home remedy suggestions?

Monday, I started taking a daily dose of 1000mg of vitamin C...that should help some.
