Guest guest Posted September 23, 2000 Report Share Posted September 23, 2000 I am trying to learn as much about Human Growth Hormone as possible! I am seriously considering taking it, and would welcome all replys! What can you tell me about it? I take HGH and have taken it for a long time. I wouldn't be without it. I don't know what it is but, it sure makes me feel 100% better. I don't feel tired all the time and really love it. Go ahead and give it a try but then, that's my opinion.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hi Lori, My sinus is great, and I have my sense of smell back BUT (there’s always a but isn’t there) I was put in hospital because of my asthma coming on hard and fast. Massive amounts of prednisone and now only just being weaned off it. I have no idea why my asthma returned except that the family went out for dinner one night and the restaurant was quite cold and the next day I had what I thought was the start of a cold (I’d had a flu shot earlier in the year). Next day my coughing was so bad that the doctor put my straight into hospital with the worst case of asthma I’d ever had. Upshot is he always wants me to have prednisone on hand and now to buy a portable nebulizer. At this time all things are back to what I’d call normal but I have to admit, this time I was really scared.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Lori, At the moment I am having a really tough time with my asthma. It seems to have come out of no where. I cough and wheeze constantly. When I flew to Chicago this weekend I had to take albuterol treatments in the airport. I have to see my ENT tomorrow and I hope he can tell me something or else I am going to call for some prednisone.Lori Baur <lori@...> wrote: How is everyone doing out there?

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Lori I would love to be desensitized against aspirin but the problem is finding a doctor that is willing to do it.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I recommend calling Scripps and seeing if they know of anyone in Australia who does it or where you could call in Australia. (That's where you are, right?) Otherwise you'll have to keep problem solving or putting it out to the universe that this is your goal and then you can somehow find a way to do it. Actually the problem is not finding a doctor willing to do it -- to frame it another way the problem is getting you to a doctor who will do it. There are doctors who will do it. They just might not be located near you.' If you can afford one day to come to New York and if Dr. Bosso will see you and do the desensitization, he is 15 minutes from my house. You can stay with me. I do have a cat in case you are allergic. Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hi everyone: Hope you all are doing well. I haven't been on in awhile though I have been trying to keep up on reading the posts. I find it wonderful that this group is here! I just have a question... I had one sinus surgery in 2000 this was before I had Samter's Triad However, had a lot of Sinus Problems and Asthma. I got worse right after the surgery almost right away. Then I was diagnosed with Samter's in 2002. I am now about to have a 2nd Sinus Surgery in a few months because I am getting Sinus Infections about every 1 to 2 months. I also have been getting clogged ears, and ear infections, as well as eye problems and inflammation in my eyes from my Sinuses. Its getting bad with my one eye. I have a hard time seeing out of it.I look like I am crying all the time! So I am going to try the Sinus Surgery one more time. My question is repeating Surgery that didn't work the first time is it really going to work a 2nd time, or am I just wasting my breathe here??I thought you guys would know best! Thanks so much, <soniarobins@...> wrote: Thanks Lori I’ll chase them up and let you know how I go and yes, I’m in Australia. I wonder if my medical insurance company would be so kind as to pay for my air fare to New York? Business class of course – one can only dream lol. Thankyou for the offer, if all else fails here I’m more than willing to fly over, always wanted to visit New York. I’ll get myself into action and see if I can track down a doctor willing to do the desensitization. No problems with cats, I have two of them myself – one with the attitude from hell, weighing in at 18 lb and he’s not fat.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I came off of the 2 week Prednisone taper 10 days ago, and the main polyp shrank to nothing by the end. Already, though, I'm feeling the early stage of that polyp again, and that passageway is starting to close. Since I live in China and also have a baby, having my sense of smell back wasn't all it was cracked up to be:) Still, though, I hope I can maintain this polyp at a decent size (not big enough to start deforming my nose). If I can maintain it, I'm thinking there's no need for surgery. In answer to your earlier question, F.E.S.S. stands for Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery. I think it's just the basic term for sinus surgery. The 2 ways to approach F.E.S.S. are image guiding and conventional method. The Image guiding one goes for around $7,000 USD in Singapore, with the medical standards as high as the U.S. I wouldn't dare get it done in China. But I hope I can live without surgery (I'm only 29), though many of you say you've already gotten several surgeries. What I'm curious about is if most of you had multiple surgeries before you realized you had Samters, or after. Anyways, I'm now on Singulair, as well as Advair. So far, I haven't had any morningtime runny nose issues like I've always had in the past.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I’ve had five surgeries and only found out I had Samters after the 4th – in fact it was actually great to have a name finally put to it. My surgeries were in 1979, 1982, 1991, 2001, 2005. I’m now 57. Since I started on Nasonex daily my polyps haven’t returned and ‘touch wood’ things seem to be under control with my sinus. My asthma is another story though, it comes and goes; the last two attacks being very serious. I’m back on Seritide daily to help control things and so far so good. Every now and then though I’m back on pred because of the asthma and that’s usually when I get my sense of smell back which is delightful. Friends soon know when I have it back because I’m forever sniffing spices/herbs in the pantry and just love visiting the perfume departments in stores. A stranger would probably think me very odd lol. Just visited a big country show about a month ago and someone was complaining about the smell of the pigs and I comments how beautiful it was. Yes, I got some very strange looks indeed. Unfortunately about two weeks after I get off the pred. my sense of smell goes again. I’ve heard about the surgeries carried out in Singapore, in fact it’s a very popular thing for Australians to go there as it’s so cheap. This is for plastic surgery though, it’s been on television shows here and the hospital facilities are excellent. I haven’t heard anything about other types of surgeries though. I’ll no doubt be up for more surgery in the future but the end result so far is good.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Just wanted to send out an update.. I had my surgery on Monday morning. Things are going really well. My doctor did not use splints or packing, instead he left it wide open. He had me start nasal rinses within 24 hours after the surgery. He also put me on a predisone tapper for 2 weeks. This was my 5th surgery and by far the best. I will let you know how things progress. Rex Youngrexerito@...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Rex it’s good to hear things have gone so well for you.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Whilst Pred is a miracle drug in some ways the side affects can be incredible. I get what I suppose you’d refer to as anxiety attacks and I’m sure I could get all the housework done in minutes, cupboards tidied up, the lot. Unfortunately it makes me put on weight as well. The prospect of getting laid off in December would give anyone anxiety attacks though and being on the pred. would definitely make you feel worse in that respect I’m sure. It’s good to know that your sinuses are doing so well, let’s hope it keeps up.

I'm having one huge side effect from the increased predisone levels. I'm having hugh anxiety attacks, could be that I received the news that I might get laid off in December. But this drug is making me think about it ten fold. I'm lost almost 10 pounds in 4 days. I've been doing nasal rinses 3 times a day. Nasally this is the best I have ever felt. I'll let you know how I progress. Rex Young rexeritomac On Oct 4, 2006, at 3:27 PM, wrote: Rex it’s good to hear things have gone so well for you. I really like the idea of no packing, to me that was the worst part of the surgery in having them removed. Hope things continue to improve for you.

I had my surgery on Monday morning. Things are going really well. My doctor did not use splints or packing, instead he left it wide open. He had me start nasal rinses within 24 hours after the surgery. He also put me on a predisone tapper for 2 weeks. This was my 5th surgery and by far the best. I will let you know how things progress.

In the past I wouldn't irrigate at all. I have already purchased a waterpik and sea salt. I havent been able to use it yet because I'm so impacted. But trust me I will after this surgery I will use it everyday. Rex Young rexeritomac On Sep 18, 2006, at 6:27 PM, Lori Baur wrote: Rex, I have also had about five surgeries.
