Dealing with lingering Lyme symptoms

Hi! I was diagnosed with Lyme in 2019. My only symptom that never went away was a strange sinus pressure on the bridge of my nose (no congestion) and it makes me feel off balance and I get tension behind the tops of my eyes. It comes and goes and I can’t seem to find any rhyme or reason. An ENT recently confirmed I have inflammation in my sinuses and it was red and swollen but no mucus. Next is the allergist. I also have other weird random things like anxiety, hair thinning on one eyebrow, bumps on my nails (especially my thumbnail) and issues falling asleep. I know Lyme is very diverse and can cause a large variety of issues and symptoms but I was curious if anyone else can relate to the sinus inflammation and if anything helps. I recently got a script for an antihistamine nasal spray too but I haven’t been having symptoms too bad since I’ve gotten it a couple weeks ago to really try it out. I’ve also tried acupuncture and Chinese medicine with no success.

Most people I've talked to who had the best success had a diet/supplement regimen alongside the normal antibiotics. Most of them saw a naturopath for that sort of treatment. Personally, the head-area symptoms are the last to ease for me, namely my mind fog and bells palsy that occasionally comes with flare ups.
