Guest guest Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hello, I'm aware that this may have already been discussed thoroughly yet I'd like to hear your advice on my particular occasion and maybe someone else finds it useful. After all it's quite serious. The story just like for all of us I believe is pretty long but I'll try to be concise and short. Ever since I was a child I had some health issues. Pneumonia, bad cough, running nose. Yet I managed to get out of that and for some time everything seemed to be fine. But then the running nose came back and now I've been struggling with it for nearly two years (I'm currently 17). So in three words. I've got an allergy for dust mite, tendency to asthma (yet rather minimal) and swollen polyps. I think a lot of you guys are familiar with the feelings and symptoms it causes. Fatigue, headache, bad memory, I find it hard to fall asleep, I wake up pretty much the same as I went to bed etc. And my body temperature is always about 35.8 °C/96 °F. In a nutshell I just feel so depressed and miserable. What I've tried? Well starting from antibiotics to all kinds of nasal sprays, large doses of vitamins, rinsing with salt water (and other liquids such as camomile essence), physiotherapy (some procedures with calx and cavity heating), cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar, oil pulling, steam breathing. I probably missed something out but you understood the idea. None of it has really helped or I just haven't done it enough. Currently I'm sticking with the following plan. Oil pulling once a day, avoiding bread, beer, cheese, sniffing cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar couple times a day, tea tree oil applied to face once a day and I go to swimming pool four times a week. The pepper does the best work as it removes almost all mucus from the cavities. Yet after sniffing it the polyps grow bigger and I can't breathe properly again. And the next day the mucus is back. I usually feel the worst after having a meal. Now I'm trying to eat in small rations and avoid bread, milk products etc. I'm able to breathe through the nose most of the time yet my head hurts so bad, I'm having problems with thinking and I can always feel the polyps. I could expand this even more but this is basically the case. I don't know what am I going to the if these treatments doesn't help (and they haven't for a quite long time). I'm considering acupuncture also known as needle therapy. But besides that I'm pretty desperate. I'd love to hear from you guys. Maybe you could share some success stories and suggest some medication and cure? Thank you. P.S. English is not my native but I tried my best. Hope it's understandable.
