Quick question about functional endoscopic sinus surgery?
Does this surgery permanently leave a wider sinus anatomy? I have swollen sinuses that looked narrower due to my anatomy on the ct scan. The goal of surgery is to remove any infected mucus and most importantly help widen the sinuses so that rinses and medicine go where they need to. They have to remove a little bit of bone and tissue to get to the sinuses and widen them but will the widening be permanent ?
1 AnswerMedicine5 years agoQuestion about Flonase and other nasal steroids?
I've been taking Flonase for the past 2-3 weeks 1x a day 2 sprays per nostril and I use the Neil med rinse been on it 1-2 times per day for few 2-3 weeks as well. My question is can using Flonase or nasal steroids for a few weeks or longer cause a sensation like you have two hall cough drops in your mouth and your nose feels too open? You might think Oh that must be nice! No it isn't it feels like I can smell whats in your kitchen right now and gives the sensation of breathing in cold air causing me to feel headaches and making my body feel cold especially during running on a treadmill.
I've been having this feeling and It's annoying maybe that means I should just use 1 spray per nostril every other day rather than 2 sprays per nostril 1 time a day, everyday? Like I said this sensation of having two hall cough drops in your mouth and you can breathe like that for hours on end only thing that helps is a hot shower. It's really annoying my jogging as in sucking all that cold air through the nose even though I'm running inside during this. Also breathing in air like that a lot irrates my chest throat lungs I mean its cold air.
Seen ENT several times. Did a nasal endsocpy says no sinus infection. Asked for CT scan wouldn't let because he feels I don't need it. Different ENT will let me get CT scan this week. Symptoms of sinusitis are mild-moderate but been going on for over 5 months. The ENT thats letting me get the CT scan said to use flonase and neil med rinse everyday too.
2 AnswersRespiratory Diseases5 years agoEver since I was a child I was a menace and had certain issues?
Since a young age, I always remembered doing negative and weird things. Throwing a rock at my front window at age 7 for no reason, hitting little kids I remember pulling there hair and stuff. Also when I would get mad as a young kid I remember I punched my bedroom window and I would also swear. I would sometimes talk to myself in the mirror that's the weird stuff.
In my teen years I had so many domestic violence disputes. I had disputes against every family member, so many of them I can't count them all. Fighting dad, mom, brother, sister. Swearing, breaking things.
Now as an adult the hitting has slowed down dramatically but It has come back I feel that devil and It's a damn shame I have an impulsive non logical way of going about it when it happens. I feel this demon I have been trying to battle all my life.
I just turned 25 I look 20 and stay in great shape. If you were to ask people about me they would think I'm the most normal person. They would say he's a great guy or a real cool kid. I never had any major problems in my adult years 18 until now with the law. Although there would be times where I would swear and throw a bit of a temper tantrum every now and then. It was never enough to get me in trouble.
It is only at home where I snap. I took Zoloft for a year, now I'm on Lexapro 10mg for depression/anxiety. But I feel as a kid I had ADHD and also this demon in me lol bad combo.
I have OCD-Germophobe
I have Performance Anxiety
I have Depression- From all the people I hurt and hurting myself
I have ADHD
How can a person be so messed up and seem 100 percent normal to every body? I'm a rare cause I feel but a dangerous one. Sometimes I Feel like I don't deserve to live I'm having thoughts of just wanting to die and suicide even though I won't to it. I feel that way because I feel stuck. I'm 25 live at home, hurt the people that care about me and sometimes I feel emotionless. I think It's the damn pills too. At least when I was off them I had more of a heart.
I think life would be good if I could just get a job, move out and take some medication with some therapy. I just hope my mental illnesses can be helped. I don't want to be this way. Ever since a child until now I'm the same. Just more cool with it, people would never know. Until the beast comes out.
4 AnswersMental Health8 years agoI switched from Zoloft 50mg to Lexapro 10mg?
My question is since I was on Zoloft 50 mg for about 18 months then last week switched to Lexapro 10 mg my side effects shouldn't be to bad right? I should be use to SSRI in my system or is this not the case? I feel fine and good on the Lexapro 10 mg so far, It's just that I been having some gastro issues and I'm seeing the specialist in 2 days. I'm healthy overall besides my allergies/sinuses and only 24. I eat healthy too but I get IBS symptoms every 2 months or so. Could the stomach issues diarraeah and that stuff be related to the Lexapro? I had blood test and that done no food posining or stomach flu because It happened 2 days ago and it was like 2-3 episodes and goes away. I went playing basketball today and yesterday. I wonder if its the vitamin supplements I take I might stop all that crap. As I take Vitamin C, High potent Multi Vitamin, Joint Supplement, Brolemain.

1 AnswerSTDs8 years agoHow can i get the jawline I want without surgery?
Im a skinny guy and still have no jawline i just wish i had a nice decent jawline nothing crazy, my head shape and jaw structure are kind of like this actor in this picture except he has a bit of a jaw sticking out i dont have nothing it sucks. Bascially i wouldnt mind if mine was even as decent as that but if i had to chose i would want it a little more then that. I have to grow a beard and line it up so it looks like i have a face when i shave my face looks too small.
Im insecure and unhappy about it yes but im not a idiot whos going to go put a fake implant in my mouth because of it. So what are somethings i can do? I need braces for my smushed teeth and overbite so will that help the jaw stick out more when my braces are gone? Or is there anything injection or something i can do? Please dont judge me im not insecure enough to get surgery on any part of me i just want to this too look better it sucks for me .

1 AnswerDiet & Fitness8 years agoHeadache Vomiting situation please help?
So on 2-11-13 at 4am i was up and i mixed a lot of foods up from that time to around 8am i had 2 Big Bowls of Rice and some beans, then I had Reeses Cereal with orgranic milk later on I had Pancakes with Choclote Chips and syrup and I probably had few oreos somewhere in that time frame. Im a skinny guy whos in shape Im only 24. I also was stressed out thats why i was up doing that stuff. I use to be on 50mg of zoloft for a year and a half and went back down to 25mg. So i missed a day or 2 of taking my 25mg zoloft and took 3 of them at once and a few hours later had the biggest headache and felt on edge so I went to sleep. I woke up 2-12-13 around 5pm and brushed my teeth and had some mylanta and water thats it. I went to my car started driving to the gym and i threw up because i felt nauseas and had a weird headache. I havent thrown up in 7 years so i was afraid but i did it and it was a bunch of water and mylanta i threw up rather then food i also had 1 episode of loose bowel but thats it. Today is 2-13-13 and I havent eaten since 2-11 at 8am. So i broke the 30 hour fast with 2 pieces of toast. I havent thrown up since I did in the car and only had 1 episode of loose bowel. I also havent had any zoloft today and will go back to my normal 25mg schedule and not over do it again starting tomorrow.
So most likely Food Posining is out the window, I cant have the stomach flu because i would of been much sicker and probably had a low fever which i dont. I dont feel like throwing up now but I have a headache still. What is going on with me??
2 AnswersPain & Pain Management8 years agoI don't really like people anymore?
When I see people I just get annoyed. Not everybody but mostly a lot of people. I still have people I talk to and my family but I'm still a loner. I still go out to clubs with friends and talk to girls and stuff, and I'm tall and good looking not amazing of course but I still never had a girl friend. I do consider myself shy around people and that we think so different. I feel I don't like people because I just find them fake.
They put on a fake act all of them. People who work at the malls or just anywhere you go in there they put on a fake smile and attitude and I can SENSE IT'S FAKE BECAUSE I'VE DONE IT. I feel people only care about themselves not EVERYONE MOST! But i find it extremely irratiting.
ME>
Down to Earth, True to myself, Never put on a act, I'm gonna tell you straight up, and genuine and sincere though it my seem im a asshole right now.
Most People> Fake, annoying, followers, Jeolous, materialistic, and grose.
Im 24 years old back in college and I see this everywhere, when people have small talk with me I hate it I wish they would just be more real. Hi So how you've been I missed you type of talk? Really if you missed me all bullshit but anyways YEAH THATS MY RANT OF THE DAY
5 AnswersFriends8 years agowhy am i lashing out and going mad?
Im 24 years old live with my brother 20, sister 17, and mom & dad. I have anxiety/depression and i was on zoloft for 1 year 6 months. Why am on it? Well I had social anxiety and I wasnt going out to school and stuff. So when I got on it I got a job and im back in college. This semester i did pretty good 3.0 avg and I quit my job last month. Im a active person I havent been to the gym in a week and just at home playing video games watching movies in my room and we dont start college again until 1-7 so basically I aint doin ****.
So I pounded on my bro today for no reason just beat his ***. Then today I cussed both my parents out and said i hope they die I said some mean heartless **** like I hope you guys die of cancer I hate you this n that and went nuts i didnt get violent and went to my room.
Keep in mind im the nicest person to other people and with friends and im very shy and quiet. At home its not always like this and Im never violent towards my brother I havent hit him since we were teens. And I would get the cops called on me for domestic violence I even hit my mom and dad when I Was a teenager and went to juvenile and I havent touched them since. But now its verbal abuse and today i went nuts on them and said they ****** my life up and said the meanest **** to them and cuzzed them out good. It was sick now thinking about what i said and I didnt mean it but why i say it? I have a lot i been holding in but Im not going to hit my bro again that was ****** up i didnt hit him in the face and it wasnt anything crazy I just hit him in hsi arms and was holding him and pounding and got off. But It feels like theres a lot of revenge sadness anger confusion and a feeling of hopelessness in me feels like I wanna die but not really because I do enjoy living but I feel stuck in the way that is not life. I hate my life.
1 AnswerMental Health8 years agoloose bowels because of anxiety?
im only 24 years old and it happens every like 5 months ill go through these problems for a while where i have extreme loose bowel and stomach making noises and its not dierreah watery type its dirreah with out the waterry stuff im sorry as thats nasty.
But It seems to happen when I havent gotten sleep say if i only got 3 hours of sleep then stay up for a night because of college work or just what ever i will get this acidy feeling in my stomach and start coughing and my tounge will be white.
So i went to the DR! and told him and i got a test ultra sound and the nurse at the hospital told me she isnt suppose to say anything but everything looked great and i never got a call back from the dr saying the results im almost positive that theey were fine other wise they would of informed me right away.
I also have a appointment with a gasteroligist or whatever they call them in a few days. I dont have a fever no history of ulcer colititis in the family and chrones disease is way more serious as a good friend told me about what happened to him. This happens to me a 2 3x in a row and it stops. But ITS VERY FRIGHTNING TO THINK ABOUT WHAT I CAN BE!
But also i do have family history of anxiety in my dads side and i was diagnosed with it and put on zoloft 50mg down to 25mg could being nervous also cause this. Why is my body or intestines holding in all this water or acid and causing me problmes
1 AnswerOther - Diseases9 years agoi feel unlucky? basketball stuff?
i play in 2 leagues 1 sunday 1 wednesday and sunday is suppose to be the tougher leauge but i find myself playing better sunday then wednesday because the expectations i feel are 0 for me sunday cuz its tough but wednesday idk what it is maybe the style of play
But for instance i will make it quick today i shot 4-13 in 28minutes i was trying to score a lot but about 4-5 of those shots were forced or trying to shoot a pullup on some one i mean i know i can do better but we still killed the other team because our defense and fast pace i finished with 8pts and 5rebounds but my question is how can i bring my practice shot into a game.
I feel im just expected to make my open 3s and if i miss i wont make any or if im not feeling like i got my legs that day i know i wont be that fast in the game.
But i wont let this bring me down i will condition myself better and start lifting hard and push myself to get better but any advice for my mind when it comes to expectations of teammates or missing shots how to focus in on the game and not be distracted by irrelevent ****
3 AnswersBasketball9 years agoAbout quitting my job?
im 23 years old going on 24 i look like im 21 though lol but anyways Im not in college or wasnt working so my 1st cousin and uncle hired me at there restaurant/liquor store and I was working for about 2 months now.
I had my other cousin a girl who is 27 who worked there 2 days because she wasnt busy with her other job quit as well.
Why im quitting well it went from me having 34 hrs a week getting 8.00 an hr cash money to then getting paid by check so those tax cuts leave me getting 7.25 an hour then they said 25hrs a week then today when i seen my schedule it was 19 hours a week and i get paid every 2 weeks so 38-40hrs every 2 weeks leaves me with 275-290 and i spend around 80 dollars for gas so it leaves me with around 190-200 bucks in pocket every 2 weeks for 38-40hrs.
Now im glad i got my feet wet and have worked now but my family is wealthy yet they made me do this and i was always spoiled so i told my dad and mom today im going back to college and try to get a 4 year degree and educate myself life is hard out there man.
My mom has her own business with linens and its good thank god and my dad has been a wine salesmen for 22 years and hes big in that business. But anyways I want to go back to college and i miss training for basketball and working out. In the meantime for money Im making 300-400 a week on ebay and Im going to be helping my mom with her business.
So why am i here talking well i feel bad about my cousin uncles n them they helped me and taught me all this stuff and headache thinking i would stay but its just not worth it business wise at the end of the day you cant mix your business and family as well as emotions i think that im right on this.
So my cousin if she asks me again tomorrow are you coming what should i say i already let her know i quit today and it was texted cuz i was too afraid to talk to her im a coward for that but oh well. What should i do and do you guys think im right on this?
