Another question. I have polyps. The Dr. Wants them removed. I used a Bi
Yan Pian chinese med and it did seem to open me up. Also nasal
irrigation (grossan)But am I just prolonging the surgery? The polyps are
near the nose bridge/ maxillary.  Im scared to death of surgery as I
have minor heart problem and the Dr said Nytrogyisorin if any think went
wrong. I would not rather die at this time as I have a family that needs
me. Im just very scared of being put under. If I die while under I wont
know but family is first. The 3rd Dr said I have 2 large polyps that he
seen from his nose magnifier. !st Dr uesed a endoscope. The Ct scan
showed this also. And also some glogged sinues. But that is when I was
at my worse. And I had sinus infection. (can that show a clogged
sinuses? Should i get another ct scan when i feel good?  I do have a
minor deviated septum that he wants to make right. Is this just a way
for the Dr  to make more money? Then he said turminate reduction at the
same time. Its been a year. I have mold/dust mite allergy as tested.
Stop drinking milk (allergy ect.) Dont drink wine ( big difference) I
use OTC sprays and had rebound, so i quit , went through 3 weeks of
hell. Now I just need the truth. Were can I go to get a true answer to
this? My nose goes open and close alternatively all the time. 4-6 times
aday the right is wide open the it switched to the left wide open.
Sometimes is 4/60 0r 50/50 or 20 50 ect. Thank you for hearing this very
long letter. Thank you. Oh when I keep my dehumidifier at 35% i Feel
alot beetter. If I go over 45% its bad. (dustmites/Mold? Thank you God
Bless you all

I would not because of the xray exposure,

No but it may not make that much diffrence on its own.

Are you really allergic to milk (certainly some are)  or is someone just
feeding you popula folklore.

That is normal and happens in everyone.   You will notice it more if you have
enlarged turbinates.

Exactly right. above 34% will feed mites and mold.

Nasal polyps usually shrink on a course of Prednisone combined with an
antibiotic. Usually the doctor also adds Rhinocort Spray. In most of my
patietns this is good for 9 - 12 months. Sometimes longer.

Hi, What is Prednisone? One time the Dr. gave me something that was in a
pak. I think it was a steroid. It said something like: take 5 first day
4 secound day 3 ect.ect. Is that what it is? Cause I had to stop taking
it after 1 day because my heart rate stayed at 122 bpm for about 18
hours. Scared the heck out of me. And also why take a antibiotic if the
polyps are inflamed? How do I know I have infection. Also what is the
most popular antibiotic now for sinus infection? Sorry for all the
questions. Its been over a year now would a CT scan radiation really be
that bad? Thank you. The irragator worked great last year. Now I use it
2-3 times a week. Does Rhinocort shrink polyps? I better shut up now.
Thanks

That is it!

Thatt does happen in a few people but it is a great systemic anti-inflammatory.

You could.  The problem is not one CT scan but just if you keep doing it every
year.....
