Sinus cyst and sinusitis and migraines
Hello,I have bee suffering from migraines for a few years (first I get pain in my lower right neck and right base of skull, then the pain moves up and takes over the right side of my head, I become sensitive to light and slightly nauseous. Advil, etc. doesn't help. Massaging the neck slightly relieves the symptoms, but not by much.)
I have also had a cold every 3-4 weeks for a number of months. A CT scan revealed that my sinuses are stuffed and inflamed, and that I have a large cyst in my left sinus. A 2-week Augmentin course did not help. ENT says I'll continue having a sinus infection until he performs an endoscopic sinus surgery to drain sinuses and remove the cyst.
Questions:
- Are the migraines and sinus problems related?
- Is there alternative treatment for the chronic sinus infection? What about for the cyst?
Thank you!

I am a lawyer. Female. I'm generally happy, but have a fickle, sometimes moody personality. I'm usually tired, very low energy. I often have trouble concentrating. I get bored easily, wanting to move on to the next thing.
I like good food, laughter, nature, breathing in truly fresh air, a good book, relaxation. If allowed, I want to sleep 10 hours a day...but sometimes if I spend my days relaxing I feel angry at myself at the end of the day because I didn't accomplish much.
I anger easily. I am capable of intense emotion, both positive and negative. I also am often worried that I have upset someone by something I said and get easily embarrassed.
Physical ailments:
I was very sick as a child with various childhood illnesses, asthma, etc. As an adult, I get colds all the time, acne, sensitive skin. A few years ago, I had a bad bout of staph infection on my skin--it took many courses of antibiotics and Chinese herbal medicine for it to go away. I experience pain in my neck and shoulders and have sciatica.
