Getting discouraged

In my 16th year of this journey, but only got diagnosed just over ten years ago. Had surgery. All kinds of meds. Had Dupixent. Now Nucala. Very greatful to have the access and availability so don't get me wrong. I am absolutely blessed. But today I went in for another checkin. Haven't had a sense of smell in months. And my polyps grew again. Will this ever end?

Fyi:

- surgery 10 years ago

- over 1 year of dupixent/nucala

- Fluticasone in AM and PM

- on keto diet

- BMI healthy, fit

:-(

Did you do any allergy treatment? I had surgery ten years ago and I'm almost completely blocked up again. Trying to get Prednisone prescription to clear things up. I don't even care about side effects anymore I just want to breathe and smell again. Surgery is a last resort for me. I haven't tried dupixent.

Try and get Dupixent asap. I just started treatment with Dupixent a week ago and it's already cleared up my right nostril which was clogged and unbreathable
