Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 It has been almost one month since my last ASA. I went a whole 3 weeks feeling exactly the same as i did when on asa. then at the beginning of this week i started waking up conjested and for 2 days could not breathe out of one nostril and started getting VERY down about all the old familiar symptoms. but today i went to my ent and he looked up there and i was so swollen and full of snot that he could not see anything. so he put some stuff ( i think epinephrine or something of the like) on some qtips and left them up my nostrils for a few minutes and everything shrank so he could take a look. and i have some very tiny polyps but they look the same as the last time i was there which was when i was still on asa. so i am very happy that it was not large polyps that were blocking my nose. so back to being good with food and all my supplements. he also gave me an Rx to try the pulmicort respules in my irrigator. keep you posted on that. he gave me a small dose of steroids to keep things open while i start the pulmicort (at my request) and when he did it he said " you know this is just treating the symptoms, not the root " and then told me i should watch my diet which i already am. and he was very happy to here i was in acupuncture school!! what? is this a real md? i was shocked and very pleased. if anyone lives near atlanta i highly recommend him. well i will keep you posted! by the way i am still fine with mint so i think i am still desens. and the guaifensin i mentioned before is actually called Herbal Expectorant and is in a small bottle.
