Guest guest Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 It has been about six months since my desentization and my asthma is still bad and I still have no sense of smell. I have started Zyflo with little results. I am going to try the Buteyko Breathing Method and have classes scheduled at the end of the month. Has any had or has known of anyone having luck with this method? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 My desense was, at first, considered a failure, even though I was taking 1300mg of aspirin daily. I had lots of polyps and inflamation at the time. My allergist did a 15 day round of prednisone to shrink everything before desens; however, my symptoms continued to get worse while taking aspirin. Then, a year later, I had surgery. My ENT did not make me stop aspirin for surgery. Instead he used the protocol developed at Scrips. Two days after surgery, and back on full dose aspirin, I could smell again. It's been almost 9 months now and I feel great. I can still smell. I have a few " very early polyp buds " , but it's been quite a success. After my other surgeries, my doctor reported full grown polyps at 4 weeks post op. My allergist was visibly giddy, which was out of character for a normally serious 60 year old man. So my advice, start with a clean slate. Surgery then desens has seemed to work so far.
