Sorry to the original poster if I stole your thread. I want to hear about how many people had good results from this surgery. I know one person here that is on their second one in 4 months. And they regret it. The surgery scares me. But Im getting desperate and really want to get rid of this problem.
Thanks for the advice beekissed.
I rarely eat dairy. I dont drink milk, I dont like the taste of it any more. I used to be lactos intolerant. But after I had my last kid I can now drink it with out it going straight through. But from not having milk for a long time, I dont like it. When I did have state health insurance while I was pregnant. I went to nose specialists. And on their advice I would cut one food item out of my diet at a time. Nothing seemed to work.
The nose specialist tried me on all kinds of allergy pills and over the counter nose sprays. None helped at all. Not even the steroid kinds. Then right when they were talking about surgery. The doctor moved to another state. Then I got a new doctor. He wanted to see the results and tried all the stuff I had already taken, that didnt work. By the time he said surgery. I no longer had my health care. And they wanted $6,000 down for the surgery. I could do payments on the rest. But those fees didnt include hospital stay. Or the anstegialogist (spelling???- the person that puts you to sleep. They said it would cost any where from $15,000 and up for the surgery. And at the rate I could pay back, it would take me a lifetime. $6,000 is about 5 months worth of income. And it all goes on current bills. We already have the cheapest apartment in town. We are trying to buy a mobile home in a park on payments for the same amount we are paying here. And when we payed it off then we could save money for my nose. If I can last that long. When I sleep at night my tongue gets stuck to the roof of my mouth. And I have stopped breating a few times.
My breath hasnt been effected yet. But when I am really really swollen I can taste mucus. And wake up with it on my teeth. I know gross. But it is an important syptom.
I also had my adniods taken out as a kid. They bled all the time. I would get nose bleeds from just playing to much.
Yes, when I was a kid I got alot of sinus infections. And was on antibiotics alot for it. Right now, I usually have a sinus infection all the time. At least half of the time. Now the only help I can get for that is antibiotics put straight into my blood stream, like when I was in the hospital after giving birth to my son. But now that I am older. My nose is just getting way worse. But at least when I was a kid, my nose was clear when it wasnt infected.
Well I think I wrote enough of a book, Im going to stop now.
