View 1 RepliesI have nasal polyps and what a life-ruining condition. I can't breathe. I can't sleep. I have trouble eating & breathing, drinking & breathing. Sometimes it's difficult to speak clearly. Kissing & humming are difficult. I go through oodles of kleenex. I take antihistamines, use Nasonex spray, take Melrose oil internally, enjoy "Halls" lozenges. I've tried Prednisone, but the side effects are too dangerous for me. I wish I could get some relief. AND it is different every day. Some days my nose is totally plugged and thumping and the next day my nose is dripping, running and I can't stop blowing. It's never normal. Again, I wish I could get rest & relief.

View 8 Repliesi have been suffering with headaches and the doc said i have rhinitis, so gave me nasonex nasal spray which i used for several months which eased my symptoms, although then suddenly started getting stomach problems, like gastritis i could not eat felt really unwell for weeks doc said i prob have an ulcer but was unlikely to be the spray that had caused it and put me on omeprazole which eased my symptoms after a few months i stopped the nasal spray, however i started the nasal spray again as i was having headaches and straight away got these bad pains like acid reflux gerd ulcer type pains, im sure its the steroid spray has any one else had any experience like this many thanks

View 1 RepliesI have suffered with Nasal obstruction(breathing difficulties)and Nasal Drip(continuous mucus draining down the back of throat)for over 8years and have been prescribed all the usual sprays,anxiety pills,breathing strips, etc.
My latest consultant advises I need an operation to treat a deviated septum(restricted airway on one side of nose).
I was also told by one consultant that I had collapsed airways due to my age(70) and nothing could be done.
Has anyone had this operation,and if so, did you have relief from nasal drip and improved breathing through the airways.
My quality of life is poor,with low energy during the day and nighttime breathing problems that cause me to be awake most of the time.
I am looking to make contact with someone that has had surgery or experiencing the same symptoms as mine.
I have just been diagnosed has having Nasal polyps. My symptoms have been so bad that I haven't worked in 14 years. I have the usual symptoms of breathing difficulty, stuffy nose, facial pain & a post nasal drip. I also have other symptoms like dizziness/lightheadedness, blurry vision, pressure in my head. I feel like I am walking on a bouncy castle 24/7. i wanted to know if anyone else who has nasal polyps, has ever experienced any dizziness or eye sight problems. I have had my eyesight checked recently and its near perfect yet I cannot see properly.
View 2 RepliesTwo weeks ago, I woke up with pain in my left nostril. I thought it was a pimple and would go away, but the pain is shooting into my left eye and temple area off and on. Is this nasal dryness I am experiencing or could it be something more serious? It is strange that I suddenly felt it overnight. I have history of polyp in this area but wasn't big enough to cause a concern 2 years ago. I am trying to keep area moist with argan and almond sweet/vitamin e oil but hear that I shouldn't keep doing that, lipoid pneumonia may result in repeat use. Saline spray makes it worse. I will go in eventually to check it out, but this ENT Dr. I have usually blows me off. He is not the compassionate type and to see another specialist is an hour away.
View 3 RepliesHas anyone ever gotten mouth sores from using Zicam oral mist? I used it for three days plus one morning, and that night I hate some really hot food, I thought I burned my mouth. But when I looked the next day they looked more like sores. I think maybe the hot food was just the final straw and that perhaps the zicam really caused the problem. I also changed my invisalign aligners that day, so a lot going on. So I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this side effect from Zicam. It's on my back, upper gums, right where I was spraying the oral mist.
View 5 RepliesMy Naturopath prescribed a thyroid medication called Thyroid PX. It`s not helping my hair loss at all. Also, I have headaches. Don`t know if the medication is the cause.
View 6 RepliesI have been taking these pills for about 10 days and initially the side effects were awful, nausea, sick, no appetite, more anxious and virtually no sleep. After taking first pill in morning I realised it made me sleepy so switched to taking before bed in the hope it would help with my sleeping. Unfortunately not - did get one good night at weekend and felt so much better yesterday but last night it's like back to square one. Anyone got similar experience - currently on 10mg citalopram and don't see doctor again till November.
View 33 RepliesThis is a bit lengthy so I will try to shorten it the best I can. Please note that this is dire. About ten months ago my boyfriend and I rekindled our friendship and we ended up being together. At first, before we started dating he was into drinking and smoking (weed), but I refused to date anyone who has done those things because I personally couldn't handle being around stressful environments, (I am diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar 1).
So, he claimed he came to stop smoking and drinking if it meant us being together. Through the months, we had terrible, terrible fights - usually I blamed myself because I become manic on occasion - but as of just a week ago he's been acting even far more stranger. We usually never go anywhere without the other, but he started talking to a guy friend at work he met no longer than five days ago and he was invited to a party. He told me he was going to go whether I wanted him too or not, so I asked if I could go along and he was fine with it but demanding I act appropriate. (Which I am not all that bad around public).
Before we went we got into a fight, he shouted at me that he never got alone time and I asked if he'd choose his new friend over me. He said, he's going to the party no matter what and I was going to leave...But then he broke down in tears. Later on that night, he told me he wanted me to accept him for himself. He claimed that his true self was the guy he was before dating me, the one who was drinking and smoking. He said he didn't need to drink but he missed the smoking. That he needs it in order to keep positive and stress free so he doesn't yell at me. Breaking every moral I had, I agreed to let him do it - we went home so he can go smoke but I didn't want to have to see it so I tried to leave. He came to me before I left and said he didn't do it and he was sorry. Sorry that he choose the party over me and sorry for yelling at me and making me cry. He claimed he didn't know what he was doing or why.
Eventually through the week, he promised he wouldn't do it again until yesterday. He called me after work and said he needed to go to his friends house to say goodbye because he was moving. He demanded I stay home. I wanted to go with, I was already going through a manic episode and needed, yes, need, to be watched over. (if left alone I can get a little suicidal, not meaning too.) He refused to let me go. My friend, whose my other caretaker, came over to find me at a complete distraught. She was angry and took me over to his house just in time to catch him before he was going to leave.
When he saw me, he burst into tears, saying he was sorry but he needed to tell me something; that he had been still smoking through the entire relationship. He claimed he was trying to stop the whole time, that at first he was only taking a puff once to twice every week until recently where he went to once every week and that every time we got into a fight was because he hadn't take a recent puff. He said that the recent fights we got into were because he was scared of telling me about his smoking and how he didn't quit while the entire time I thought he had. He broke down and is begging for my help, thinking I can help him through but I have no idea HOW too.
I suffer from severe manic episodes, and if I am unlucky, psychotic ones also. We have little to no money at all, even for me to go see a psychiatrist for the meds I need for my mental conditions. I will not leave him...but I so desperately need help to help him.

View 4 RepliesI'm a healthy 25 year old male and I've been dealing with ED over the last year and a half or so after potentially sustaining an injury during intercourse. I had no major signs of fracture but jammed it very hard. My symptoms have become gradually worse since that time. These include generally reduced sensitivity, difficulty achieving maximum erections, extreme difficulty maintaining erections (doesn't ever seem to lock-in anymore), some increased curvature at base on one side. I have had a doppler ultrasound and pelvic MRI performed with no negative results, although neither involved induced erections. Cialis seems to help minorly, but nowhere near solves the issue. I'd love some advice on what this might be and what other tests can be done to diagnose it.
View 1 RepliesHi I am a 32 year old third time sufferer of bells palsy. I always seem to get it at this time of year - May/June and am thus starting to wonder if it is related to my intense hay fever. While I have used the standard steroid/acyclovir combo each time I have also found acupuncture to be helpful and I am undergoing treatment twice weekly at the moment as I am in the acute stages of the bells. I also take Methylcobalamin B12 as a supplement to protect nerve tissue. Dont let Bells take over your life! If you can manage the pain and breathe through the experience you will come out stronger the other side.

View 1 RepliesOk so I have had a reoccurring yeast infection for the last nearly two months. The medicine works slightly but I don't think the yeast infection ever actually goes away. All my doctor does is refill my prescription and tell me to try again. Is this normal? Any other mommies had problems with yeast infections during pregnancy?
