Oh, to be able to breathe through both nostrils at once again! I've tried so many nasal sprays but have given up. They just seem to make me worse. Same with eye drops. I've had allergic reactiongs to them as well, even prescription ones.

Hi Melwyn:

What does your doctor say?

Any solutions?

Oh Rosie, I am so very sorry to hear about what the nasal sprays have done to you. That is just so awful!

Two autumns ago I used one - not Afrin, but another one. I only used it one night while I had a mild flu, and after it wore off I was so miserable. I felt like my sinuses had swollen up to 10 times their normal size! I couldn't breath through my nose for two days! It was worse than the flu I was recovering from!

I read an entire memoir where someone lost their sense of smell permanently from using Zicam nasal spray.

I don't touch the things.

[quote=Angela J. Shirley]Hi Melwyn: What does your doctor say? Any solutions? [/quote] -------------------------- Actually, my doctor blames it on LPR (Laryngopharyngeal Reflux) - which can cause post nasal drip and sinus problems. The LPR is confirmed, so perhaps there's some truth in that, because no anti histamines have ever helped me. The LPR is under treatment, but it's a long haul, as this is a hard condition to control.

Yikes Jilly, that is not good. We need to get the word out. I firmly BELIEVE in learning from others and also sharing what I have experienced. This is the ONLY way changes will be made. LOL, it is like, sometimes it takes the "media" to embarrass some corporations before they do what is right.

Hugs,
A
