Re: Cure polyps

[Guest guest]

It really hurts me to see a person as young as yourself having to deal with

this problem. I'm sure that you'll receive a number of good ideas from this

group.

The item that catches my attention is the fact that you go to the swimming

pool four time a week. The water in most swimming pools is treated with

numerous strong chemicals, such as Chlorine which can irritate the nasal

lining and cause other respirator and health problems. In my case when I

stay in a Motel my room has to be as far from the pool as possible because

the fumes from the water will immediately irritate my sinuses and cause my

polyps to swell. You may want to avoid using the pool for a week or so and

see if it that minimizes your problems. Also many people experience a

similar situation when using strong laundry or cleaning detergents.

You may want to do some additional internet research on Vasomotor Rhinitis.

Vasomotor rhinitis:

One very common type of inflammatory rhinitis is called vasomotor rhinitis,

in which certain triggers such as smells, fumes, smoke, dusts, and

temperature changes, cause rhinitis. These triggers cause dilation of the

blood vessels in the lining of the nose, which results in swelling, and

drainage.

Cure polyps

Hello, I'm aware that this may have already been discussed thoroughly yet

I'd like to hear your advice on my particular occasion and maybe someone

else finds it useful. After all it's quite serious.

The story just like for all of us I believe is pretty long but I'll try to

be concise and short. Ever since I was a child I had some health issues.

Pneumonia, bad cough, running nose. Yet I managed to get out of that and for

some time everything seemed to be fine. But then the running nose came back

and now I've been struggling with it for nearly two years (I'm currently

17).

So in three words. I've got an allergy for dust mite, tendency to asthma

(yet rather minimal) and swollen polyps. I think a lot of you guys are

familiar with the feelings and symptoms it causes. Fatigue, headache, bad

memory, I find it hard to fall asleep, I wake up pretty much the same as I

went to bed etc. And my body temperature is always about 35.8 °C/96 °F. In

a nutshell I just feel so depressed and miserable.

What I've tried? Well starting from antibiotics to all kinds of nasal

sprays, large doses of vitamins, rinsing with salt water (and other liquids

such as camomile essence), physiotherapy (some procedures with calx and

cavity heating), cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar, oil pulling, steam

breathing. I probably missed something out but you understood the idea. None

of it has really helped or I just haven't done it enough.

Currently I'm sticking with the following plan. Oil pulling once a day,

avoiding bread, beer, cheese, sniffing cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar

couple times a day, tea tree oil applied to face once a day and I go to

swimming pool four times a week.

The pepper does the best work as it removes almost all mucus from the

cavities. Yet after sniffing it the polyps grow bigger and I can't breathe

properly again. And the next day the mucus is back. I usually feel the worst

after having a meal. Now I'm trying to eat in small rations and avoid bread,

milk products etc. I'm able to breathe through the nose most of the time yet

my head hurts so bad, I'm having problems with thinking and I can always

feel the polyps.

I could expand this even more but this is basically the case. I don't know

what am I going to the if these treatments doesn't help (and they haven't

for a quite long time). I'm considering acupuncture also known as needle

therapy. But besides that I'm pretty desperate.

I'd love to hear from you guys. Maybe you could share some success stories

and suggest some medication and cure? Thank you.

P.S. English is not my native but I tried my best. Hope it's understandable.

- Same advice on pools. Plus the fact that all manners of waterborne

germs gain entry into your nasal area and foster polyp growth.

- Dust mites : desensitization to dust mites is the first thing to do

since you have been diagnosed allergic only to this item ; this usually

improves everything ; it can be done through allergy shots (=classic

way) or sublingual drops (=newer process).

- I don't see why your body temperature is low ; this is probably worth

checking with a doctor.

- If cayenne pepper makes the polyps grow, stop it immediately.

- If you don't find relief from apple cider vinegar, stop it too.

- Tea tree oil : unless you find it useful for acne, there is no reason

to apply it regularly to the face (may favor the emergence of resistant

skin germs on the long term).

As a general rule, anything that enters your nose should be sterile (ie

only sterile saline or boiled water with uncontaminated salts, etc).

Anything that is not sterile will just add more germs and increase the

possibility of polyps growing, biofilms setting up, etc. This includes

not picking your nose by reflex with your fingers, but rather with a

disposable kleenex. Note that this will just prevent more germs from

coming in, and will not do anything to kill any existing germs.

You do not say whether you have experienced aspirin sensitivity before ;

if this is not the case (don't try), you may " just " have allergic

rhinitis and nasal polyps - which is annoying enough by itself, but

generally less bothering than Samter's.

Be very attentive to any external polyp or rhinitis " triggers " : food,

airborne particles, pollens, environmental pollutants, molds, pets,

occupational allergens, being in contact with people who cough or have

colds or the flu (which is often the case at school, at the university

or at work), etc. Some members of this group have managed to diagnose

allergies / sensitivities through experimental procedures like keeping a

rigorous log and trying to analyze trigger/reaction relationships,

including time-delayed reactions.

The next stage is taking drugs (antihistamines, steroids,

antileukotrienes, etc), but it would be best not to start that too

young. If all fails or if there is severe, unyielding polyp blockage,

the best thing to do is a polypectomy to remove polyps and start with a

clean slate.

I am aware that this advice may not sound immediately helpful, but

unless you depend on a particular trigger that can easily be removed

(which does happen - allergen desensitization usually is a good starting

point), there is generally no miracle solution to nasal polyps. Don't

hesitate to sift through the message archive, you will find a lot of

extra suggestions there, including some that worked well for particular

members. Good luck, and keep a determined approach to the problem.

It is not uncommon for some pools to have heavy concentrations of

molds which can exacerbate the problems you are having. Hoe that is

not the problem as swimming in general is a healthy form of

exercise.

Sorry for the poor information. It is not the pools but the

immediate areas such as the change rooms and showers that can have

mold because of the high humidity.
