Hi all. Saturday morning is here. *dances*
Day 2 of the pills, feeling better already, polyps have shrunken to what already feels like peas sizes in my head. Eye sight is returning to normal and I slept better. That's day 1/20.
Side affects - so far nil. But I know what's to come soon.....
Enjoy your weekend

Had surgery on them 3 times had to have a septoplasty last time, surgery scheduled for a few months again now.
The only way I can describe it is imagine having a permanent migraine for months, severe sinus infection, loss of hearing, double vision a lot of the time. The steroids shrink the polyps and my vision comes good temporarily and the migranes subside but do not disappear, worst thing is not being able to sleep.
But feeling positive today, the tablets are wonderful initially. But i have other side affects to those that cause me to go a bit mental.

I would end up stabbing myself repeatedly in the face with a blunt rusty object for less pain.
Lets not even talk about the home surgery I performed last night with a cut throat razor.

The first time I actually went to the walk in centre because one of the polyps was protruding from my nostril the nurse type I saw said "it looks like a lump of mucus" got some tweasers and attempted to yank it out......they have roots into your sinuses, I nearly stabbed that bitch.

Basically some kind of cyst/abscess type thing that's been incubating near my arse scar. Got to the point where it was big hard and sore and you'd rather see the back of it so I nicked it with the razor. Imagine one of those you tube zit videos just not as big.
Fuck the relief was worth it.
Looked like a little golf ball.
