I most always agree with Steve. His answers are always very good. I did
not have surgery last year but may need to get the polyps taken out.
Mine are good for this year. I keep the humidty under 40% and replaced
the carpet and have 3 air cleaners. I do use alternative meds. But I
dont spam so I wont bring that up. Try no milk , dairy (moderate) No
wine at all. No OTC nasal spray. If you work around a lot of dust,,,
(wood sawdust ) fumes ect, try keeping that down. I use the irragation.
Now only 2-3 times a month. Used Can Do method helped me a least 3
times. But it can be irratating. There are so many things that can work.
You have to find what works for you. Low humidity keeps dust mites ,
mold, ect way down. This can help a lot. But are you willing to spend
the 30-40  dollars a month if you live in humid areas to keep it below
40%? All the time? I did for over a year, and yes it worked for me. I
used all the steroid sprays. They work a little. But you need to get to
the root of the problem.  (food allergy) (Polen) ect ect. Took me 2
years to know. For me 35% humidity new carpet and bare floors. Replacing
blinds on windows , keeping dust down.  Dustmite pillow covers, and
mattress covers. Ect. I know longer use any steroid sprays, Or OTC. No
ztrtec, clartion, ect. I was a mess. I still have polyps but my Dr says
they are small.  He asked what I did . I just got rid of everything in
the basement. (damp Papers , boxes, And put a dehumidifier at 35-40% max
and 1 in the living area. Got rid of the dustmites and was tested for
mold at 186,000 it should be way under 100,000.. So now Im much happier.
I feel better. And when the time comes for polyp removal I will do it.
But Im not doing what the other Dr says with septum straightening and
turbinate reduction. I dont do waste of money and boat paying Dr bills.
They all want to do all 3 at once to get paid. Well after 4 DR. # agree
no problems except polyp. Septum is very slight curve. turbs are fine.
Sobe careful If Arkus or who ever has a polyp reducer great but he has
been pushing that wat to long. I say again. If tou dont know the correct
amount  and items please dont post your info here.  You are giving false
or wrong info. Thank you friend
