I agree, it's really a let down when you know more than your doc does. I do learn much more from this site than from ANY doc I had. I find that many docs only know about the drugs that those drug salespeople come to them with. I used to know bunch of people who did that for a living... selling prescription drugs to doctors and hospitals, etc. I guess it's very lucrative. ;)
These people knew a ton about the meds they sold, more than any doctor I've ever seen.I went to the ear/nose/throat doc a while back, to try to breath through my nose, normally. All my life I've had 1 side of my nose congested, at ALL times. I could never really breath fully through my nose. Makes sleeping at night with yout mouth open a real pain.. especially when your mouth dries out to the consistency of sand paper.
Anyway, I had two nasal surgeries, with very painlful recoveries. All in all, not the result I was hoping for, but I can breath through just my nose now.. not totally clear, but much better.
I guess my inferior turbinates were abnomally large, and I had a deviated septum. Weeeee!I better get back to work. ;)
