trvllady said:Morning LM.................*holds out cup for coffee*
How's you today![]()
Invite to your place? I'm in![]()

lovemonster said:Morning Trala
*pours a large cup of fresh java*
I'm not too bad, a little stuffy again unfortunately....How about you?
LOL, party at mine next weekend then?![]()

trvllady said:Thanks, need the java.
Stuffy today also - as well as a scratchy throat
Cool, What shouldn't I wear??![]()

lovemonster said:You're welcome.
Ooh, poor you....didn't manage to stave off those symptoms then?
Nothing with padlocks (we'll put those on later) or that's difficult to get off in one move...![]()

trvllady said:Working on fighting still. Medicated now
Gotcha, pack the locks and wear the easy out clothes. I think I have those![]()

lovemonster said:LOL....don't go operating heavy machinery now, will you...
Wonderful, don't want to make life difficult, do we?![]()

trvllady said:Non drowsy sinus stuff only - and the only machinery I need to operate is to drive the little one to daycare.
Definitely not..................at least not right away. Restraints come later.![]()

lovemonster said:Well, I'm sniffing on an Olbas inhaler to try and clear the stuffiness, but it's not working
Hehehee....absolutely....![]()

trvllady said:Waiting for my sinus pills to kick in and I will be fine.

lovemonster said:I think I'm going to have to go back to the doctor....I've suffered from polyps before and I think they're back, which is why I'm struggling![]()
trvllady said:That doesn't sound like fun. Mine is just an old fashioned cold.
lovemonster said:No, it's not. They make me feel like I've got a blocked nose when I haven't, which means I blow to try and clear it and inflame them even more....vicious cycle. And of course, if I actually get a cold, I just can't breathe at all.
I had them shrunk with steroids a couple of years ago, but he did say they could return.![]()
trvllady said:At least you know the problem and it can be treated. I have permanent sinus issues but keep being told there is nothing wrong with them and I don't have allergies (apparently)
lovemonster said:I've had nasal problems since I was small, I had my sinuses washed out at age 12. But since I've been an adult, my GP's have not taken me seriously My own GP only referred me for allergy testing because I insisted. They told me I had inflamed nasal linings and said there was nothing that could be done. I got the name of a private spe******t that my cousin who suffered similarly had seen and he sorted it in one appointment.
I'd suggest seeing a spe******t in the field, preferably one recommended to you.
trvllady said:Since the GP says there is nothing there they don't want to. I did go to an ENT and he said sinuses are fine. Went to an allergist and he did a very quick test and said "no allergies" and I know I was tested about 15 years ago and all sorts of stuff turned up. Basically I'm learning to live with the fact they think I'm imagining it.
I usually sound like I have smoker's cough in the morning from the post nasal drip overnight.
lovemonster said:Trouble is, our bodies change resistance to all sorts of things over the years, I'm asthmatic now where I never used to be...
It's worth getting another set of allergy tests done, particularly food ones.
trvllady said:The one I saw didn't want to do any more tests on me.........said he tested me for the major stuff so nothing else would be likely.
lovemonster said:Yeah, but that was 15 years ago. Things could have changed by now.
trvllady said:No the full set was 15 years ago - this idiot was only a year so ago.
lovemonster said:Ahhh, I see. To be honest, the allergy testing is never accurate, they said I'm not acutely allergic to pollen, yet every April/May, I'm taking anti-histamine...![]()
trvllady said:I practically live on them to keep my head clear.
So I've given up on doctors for that for now.
lovemonster said:Yeah, same here. I have to change they type I use every so often as they become less effective. Luckily because I'm asthmatic, I get them on prescription so i don't have to pay for them.
trvllady said:I have to pay for prescriptions too so over the counter is best. I find the same thing - change after a few months.
