Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Dear dgest...and whomever else can answer: Hello-- I used to get steroid injections for a serious dermatitisn (long before Samters). And I remember that made me feel much worse than a big dose of oral steroids ever has. And it had a longer lasting effect. Was it just a difference in my body vs then and now? What are your experiences on this note and why not nasal polypectomy versus steroid injections? (Just tossin out my thoughts and questions.)

Where are you? The time stamp on your posting puts you out of the U.S. right? So, how do you feel between surgeries using these injections? You said you have a similar regimen to most of us, is your asthma and nasal congestion better than before you discovered this therapy? tonidkgest <dgest@...> wrote: After watching the posts for awhile, I find that my regimen is similar to most of you. The one possibly unique treatment (I haven't heard anyone talk about it) is that my ENT lengthens the time between my surgeries by giving me injections of steroids directly in all the reachable polyps.Every 3 or 4 months he numbs me up a bit, does a visual inspection (sometimes with the long viewing probe) and then injects any polyps that have begun to appear. This seems to shrink them up very nicely. Obviously he can't get to all the sinuses and polyps but it still helps.Anyone else doing this? If not, I would sure recommend asking about it.
