After hearing about how steroid irrigation has helped
others here, I brought it up with my ENT.  He's a great
person, a great doctor, a great surgeon.  He had never
heard of doing this but agreed to let me try it.  That
may bother some of you but that's a different argument.
Anyway...  He calls me the poster boy for nasal polyps
after having removed polyps which filled practically
all of my sinus cavities and damaged my orbit.  He had
to do a bone graft to fix that.  My polyps were back
and for the past four years I could not smell at all,
100% loss.  I started the irrigation with a Neilmed
bottle.  I fill the bottle with an isotonic solution
and slowly irrigate each side till only about 1oz is
left in the bottle.  Then I pour in one Pulmicort
respule.  I flood each side pinching my nostrils so I
don't lose any fluid.  Then I stand bent over with the
top of my head facing the floor for 5 minutes.  After
that I let the fluid drain out without blowing and go
to bed.  After one week I can smell almost perfectly!
My poor ent is going to lose out on another $22,000
because of this!  I can't tell you how much fun it is
to have my smell back after all these years.  I don't
know what I will do long term.  Right now I am doing
this every night but I will try every other night after
a month.  I strongly recommend this for those of you
who have polyps and cannot smell because of it.
