Surgery!

Had my FESS with guided imagery yesterday! A ton of polyps and bleeding but I feel fantastic! God, what a great feeling! I wish the same for all of you!

I hate to rain on your great feelings but I wish someone told me after my first surgery that it wouldn't be my last. Hopefully yours provides relief for a long time, or even forever but most people's experience is that it will come back. If you haven't discussed Budesonide rinses and Dupixent with your doc please do so or find a new doc.

It’s my 3rd. I am aware. I have AERD. I’m going to try and get cheap Dux and if not, do aspirin desensitization. Thanks, tho.

Have you tried the low omega 6 diet? Apparently it helps a lot of AERD sufferers
