   I have nasal polyps and what a life-ruining condition. I can't breathe. I can't sleep. I have trouble eating & breathing, drinking & breathing. Sometimes it's difficult to speak clearly. Kissing & humming are difficult. I go through oodles of kleenex. I take antihistamines, use Nasonex spray, take Melorse oil internally, enjoy \"Halls\" lozengers. I've tried Predinsone, but the side effects are too dangerous for me. I wish I could get some relief. AND it is different every day. Some days my nose is totally plugged and thumping and the next day my nose is dripping, running and I can't stop blowing. It's never normal. Again, I wish I could get rest & relief.

   Any and all suggestions welcome.

   Whilst on holiday recently, I had some reflexology. Whilst I am naturally sceptical of such things, I decided to go ahead with it as a) I was on holiday and the lady who owned the cottage we were renting had been a reflexologist for almost 30 years (& taught for 17), it was my birthday, and she advised it could hlep my breathing (I had surgery to remove polyps at the end of Jan this year and although successful, I still get the odd day where my taste goes away and smell was/is always an infrequent visitor). Although I felt no effect from the reflexology that day/evening, I was astonished the following day when my head was TOTALLY clear and even more surprising, it stayed that way for a week afterwards. Now this may be as a result of being near the sea after my operation (sea air has never made any difference whatsoever to my head feeling stuffed tight) but I didn't go walking by the sea that holiday and spent quite a lot of time in the town which was very busy. The lady who gave me the reflexology said she had treated many people with allergies successfully and had I realised how successful it would be, I would had taken her up on her offer of a second appointment that week! I am now looking for a reflexologist in my area - then I really shall know if it was the treatment or not! certainly worth a try (anything that might work without taking medication is worth a try!).

   I suffered with nasal polyps, for more then 10 years, no smell, no taste miserable life. finally had surgery,

   and after less then 2 years, it came back, and another operation, now when it started to comeback third

   time, i searched for alternative medicine, and found it in a Chines herbal shop, in down town Los Angeles.

   i was very scared to try it,these were in shape of regular capsules named "herba plus"but took a risk,

   unbelievably less then 20 days my polyps shrieked and now i am polyps free, since last 3 years,

   i can smell, food taste good, i got my life back, and it cost less then $30.
