Hi Anne Christie It sounds like you have the attitude that will help you get the best out of CBT. It is very much about taking responsibility. I didn't choose...
Thanks Jan. I appreciate your candor. I have never been embarrassed by my depression because I read long ago about Winston Churchill's bouts with "the black...
I think being embarrassed about depression is like being embarrassed about diabetes... It is a chemical imbalance not a weakness....you wouldn't be embarrassed...
Not so long ago, people wouldn't talk about cancer either. People were embarrassed by it. I have Kallmann Syndrome and I'm open about that, but many people ...
I was deeply depressed when I was anosmic. It's a perfectly reasonable reaction to a situation you can't control, and it's very difficult to deal with and live...

Hi Greg, I also had the nasal polyp surgery - many years ago. I can only smell when I am on prednisone. I have used prednisone for special occasions in the ...
Hey Betty, I give myself a 7 to 10 day regimen, start off with a 60mg dose for the first few days and then taper down, smell is usually back after the second...
Hi Betty and Greg: As well as you I had four times nasal polyp surgery. Currently I have the sense of smell normal due a shot of Betamethasone Dipropionate...
I have had just the same as you. Polyps, deviated septum, alergies, and even that horrible virus that killed it off for two years. I have had the lot! I had...
So are you saying that regular treatments of Flixonase Drops have allowed you to be prednisone free? From what I understand(from reading these forums) these...
Yes Prednisilone free! I too used to look forward to my Holidays so I could go to the doctors and get my Prednisilone. Using those drops have made allowed me...
Wow that is absolutely awesome...I'm off to do more research, hopefully someone in the group has more info on whether this stuff is available in the States ...
Regretfully the Flixonase drops are not available in the US - one can buy the same drug in a spray preparation. Some folks have removec the seal on the spray...
Thanks for the reply, I stumbled across this group from your web pages!! I'm gonna give that a try with my generic Flonase...perhaps an eye dropper will work...

I suspect that article hit home for many of us who had it and lost it. PS - the "download wallpaper Snoopy" link will prevent some subscribers (those with...
It sure hit home for me too. I was really depressed during the Holidays because I couldn't taste or smell a thing. But it is slowly coming back and if...
Aline-believe it or not, before my smell came back FULLY, I too couldn't bear to eat onions or garlic............ I can now.It was so strange. Even the smell...
