... 10 day course of Prednisolone completed and now well into an eight week course of Flixonase Nasule Drops. My nose was completely blocked but cleared after...
Julie Suggest you read everything on Karl's website http://www.personal.ecu.edu/wuenschk/anosmia.htm He's suffered with similar problems for years and has had...
Hi Julie, I, too, have the same issues - Prednisone works like a charm but after I am off for a while, the inflammation returns and no smell. I wish you the...
Julie, I'd definitely think the high-dose Rhinocort (3x normal) is worth a try since it sounds like you have inflammatory-based anosmia or polyps. See Kevin ...
Betty: So where are you at right now with your senses? Do you have a treatment plan? My doc only agreed to try a 2 week regimen of prednisone. Even though it...
Julie, I hope you let us know how that goes at USCD. That is the closest option for me even though I live in northern Washington state. Did your doc have to...
Same thing with me. They tried to tell me it was a virus...sent me on my way. But I kept going back to my primary doctor and complaining. I saw a neurologist...
Because of my asthma, my allergist prescribed Prednisone for an upper respiratory infection. He refers to my inability to smell as an "inconvenience" and will...
Here's something I learned from my experiences with my local ENTs in South Florida and the Smell and Taste Center at the University of CT. I too have anosmia...
Just an FYI..my doctor is in the states (Dr. Robert Henkin of the Taste and Smell Clinic)and while he perscribes an asthma medication (Theophylline), I've...
Funny you mention Theophylline, as I asked both Dr. LaFreniere at UCONN and my local ENT to prescribe this medicine and neither would do so. Seems Dr. Heinken...
I was on Theophylline when I was first being treated for asthma. I had to have blood tests taken periodically because of possible damage to my liver, I...
Hello and happy Ney Year! My name is Catalina and I am part of the group for people with anosmia in spanish (anosmiaenespanol@yahoogroups.com) We want to know...
I can confirm that there is treatment for viral anosmia. I was treated for it at the same place as Franni http://personal.ecu.edu/wuenschk/ViralMick.htm ...
Hi Lauren I replied to your message a few minutes ago, but all the concerns you have are discussed in http://personal.ecu.edu/wuenschk/ViralMick.htm (check out...
Elizabeth Did you have concurrent liver disease? Theophylline on standard doses should be cleared acceptably by the liver, it is usually only problematic where...
Yes, I continue to take the Theophylline on a daily basis. My recovery was diagnosed in October 2006. My understanding is that typically after remaining 100%...
I had no problems with my liver or alcohol. I don't know what dosage I was on but my asthma was not under control at the time I was taking the drug. Betty ......
Maybe the dose was particularly high to get the asthma under control. A decent GP will regularly test blood during theophylline treatment in order to check...
I took Theophylline for about 2 months, and it didn't help :( I think my condition may be caused by allergies although the allergist told me I was fine??? I...
This can't be good. I have been using a sinus rinse and steroid nasal sprays for about 5 or 6 months. Now, everytime I rinse, I notice some watery blood coming...
Nasal steroids sometimes produce minor bleeding. It may be of no concern, but it would not hurt to mention it to the doc. ________________________________ ...
Just an FYI...I took Theo for approximately six or seven months before I notice even the smallest amount of difference. Franni ... allergist told me I was...
I have had no sense of smell for about 7 years. I had septoplasty,turbinate trim and polyps removed still, no sense of smell. I tried every drug on the market...
