Anyone help with sinusitus?

has anyone ever had sinusitus?

I've had severe headaches for a week now - the pressure is just on one side. I got some anti-bi's last week but today have had to go to the walk in clinic as the pain is so bad and constant that i am in tears. The gp said it is a bad case of sinusutus. I've had it before but never experienced pain like this before in my head - its been a week and it isnt easing. Is a ad case of sinusitus really this bad?
I've got some stronger anti-bi's today so lets hope they work.

(incidentally, I react so badly to so many types of antibiotics, it really is left to an "only if all else fails" scenario for me)

Well the saga goes on.....still feel terrible - had to stop the car to vomit last night.
Went back to the doctors today who have now given me what they called 'super strength' anti biotics. They are a little lost now as although the pain is like sinus, it starts behind my eye and I am not snotty at all.
If no improvement, I must go back early next week and they are referring me to an urgent neurology appointment at the hospital

Of course, this has scared me to death now as they dont know what is causing the severe pain in my head. Please hope it is nothing serious.

Last time I had sinusitus I had reflexology. I told the practitioner and she worked on the relevant area of my foot. Within an hour of the treatment a huge amount of green was released!

I was however, also on a course of Amoxycillin at the time, but I believe in the foot!
