Help for chronic sinusitis?

My problems began while living in a house that had problems with mold (some of it blac mold). We have since moved leaving most of our personal belongs in the trash. I can't get air in through my nose (but it is not blocked with mucous). Sometimes one side will open up. When this happens the blocked side will be hot and flushed. My sinuses are so dry, I can't drink enough to get things moving. The problem feels like it is in the nasopharyngeal area (in the part of the throat between the throat and nose. My CAT scans were clear. Endoscopy showed that I have a deviated septum. My tonsils and adenoids checked out fine. I am miserable. I can't sleep because I can't breathe through my nostrils and I have a post nasal drip (thick and yellow when I can cough it up). Sterroids help for about one week. Allergy medicine just drys me up and makes me feel worse. Two things have helped briefly: acupuncture and Sinusalia. The neti pot made me worse (let to pain, and further inability to move air). The nasal lubricants caused severe pain. Any ideas?
