Bob,

Thank you very much for the two articles. I started to break into a flonase bottle once, but backed off thinking I might break it. In an earlier post I explained how I try to use the head-down “Mecca†position while holding the bottle at a low angle. Your method sounds interesting. Since Flonase is so expensive, every drop counts. I have recently started using pressured Nasocort to see if that might get back farther. Too soon to tell if it works better.

The Intranasal Desens sounds intriguing. I had not seen that article. By the way, I’m tentatively scheduled to go to Scripps for desens. in September. Prior to that trip, I plan to schedule a visit to a doctor in Dallas (referred by my current ENT) to discuss severe polyps in my frontal sinuses. A recent CT scan by my ENT here in Midland showed no air space at all in my frontal sinuses and she suggested that I consider surgery above the eyes to clean them out. I’ll be interested in hearing what the doctor at the Dallas Medical Center says. I’m inclined to try desens. first, obviously! I have always felt that’s where my infections originate and my two earlier intranasal surgeries didn’t get close to that area.

Good luck on the diet.

Jim

Jim,

The Moffatt's position is named after Dr. Moffat an ENT. The other positions (on the stomach with head over end of bed) is the Proetz postion named after Arthur Proetz, another famous ENT. The Parkinson position is on the back with the head down, Parkinson was also an ENT.

You may be able to get the references in my article through interlibrary loan.

Flonase is now specially formulated in drops in Europe and Australia for polyps

it's called Flixonase drops and is made by the same company that makes Flonase: see GlaxoKline: Flixonase and click on "Nasule Drops", then "Indications".

I was looking and you can actually order Flixonase that appears (after a cursory review) to be the same as Flonase from New Zealand at about 1/5 the US price. I think they sell both drops and spray.
