My stories are the same as past and I understand the ups and downs.
However it is so hard when everything goes back to ZERO ! ! Its like
the forbidden fruit of life. I was having sucesses of periodic
sniffs of this and that and 1 or 2 days (not together) of 50 percent
on some foods, which never make sense/rhyme or reason, either
gradually tapering off or suddenly gone! As most of you know I have
been to Dr Henkin and am prescribed 100mg of theophenillin (?), theo
24 twice a day with breakfast and lunch. Nasel rinses in the am and
pm , gently inhaling from the palm of my hand into each nostril with
8oz of water and a measure 1/4 teaspoon of salt (for the perfect
saline mixture) and do intermittedly whenever during the day. I did
have some lessor sucesses before my trip to D.C. Spicy foods were my
salvation untill last week when I went to 0/0 (0 taste 0 smell)
again!! I have used my steroid spray with limitations as Dr Henkin
mentioned that they will work but not necessarily as a permenant
repair (healing). The very cold air outside, I am in the Northeast
US 180 miles south of Montreal, seems to have a benificial influance
when it comes to breathing, and yes I long for a breath of fresh
mountain air as it all is the same to me now.
I have a telcon with Dr. Henkin scheduled next week for my second
contact with him since my Sept appointment. The one thing I am sure
he can not help with are these sudden outbreaks of demise.
