So the last year has been a bugger of a health one for me. My sister got diagnosed with a nasal polyp. She urged me to seek help from the doctor for my years of nasal issues and lack of breathing, which I did to discover I had a large polyp in my right nostril. Suddenly I was having an operation in November to remove this. Not fun.
Fast forward 6 months, still getting headaches. One CT scan and a nasal scope later and its not actually a polyp. No it was an inverted nasal papilla. And last week I had to have FESS surgery once more on the bastard that was apparently up behind my eye nerve and blocking one of my sinuses.
The last week has been so horrible and these "things" the surgeon informed me right before they knocked me out, can reoccur. Now Ive managed a full day without crashing. Really been up and down the last week. And I think .... touch wood the swelling inside my right nostril is reducing. I can breath better. Still some pain, still coughing up blood but its much better than it was.
I have made an appointment with a local clinic this Saturday to have an allergy test. My aunt also suffers from sinus issues and cut dairy. Its supposed to help as is less gluten. Should be interesting to see what comes out of it. Not sure how good I will be at trying to eat less bread.
