  • I hope you feel better, I know its probably not possible. I wonder if you can tell us what exactly was done in your procedure. If it was removal, to what extent and so on. Cilia are tiny little "sweepers" on the surface of the turbs - they keep moving for a certain time even after we die. How can a doctor remove such an obviously important structure that has evolved over millions of years. Be careful with your bodies, learn what you can, make educated decisions and good luck.

  • When he responded "Whats the risk of riding a car". I would have decided after that to NOT see that doctor. Please believe in yourself, people and respect yourself enough to know when someone is being a moron and being inappropriate with you. Another lady with ENS was told to stop asking asking silly questions and stop interrupting the doctor. She too did not decide to not see that doctor. Thats the least you can do - stay away from people who have obvious emotional(& professional) dysfunction.

  • guess i´d chose my legs too

  • never trust surgeons, do your own research first, al they wana do is cut u up and get paid - very risky

  • Oh god you poor, poor thing! How are you these days?! Did you sue the surgeon?

  • My ENT didn't even tell me what type of surgery, just nasal surgery and that their doing a study on the positive effects. Makes me wonder if he's not telling the full story. I don't know if I want them to mess with my nose.

  • Thank you for spreading awareness on this.

    I just had a septoplasty and turbinectomy and your story scares me but I hope my condition gets better.

  • Which stupid surgeon suggested there was no harm to remove the turbinate? Surgeon was also stupid to remove tonsil to treat the inflammatory condition of tonsil leading to severe side effect of the respiratory system. Why alway so stupid to remove the useful body tissue to cure the illness which in fact a stupid act? But didn't know to strike a balance?

  • I've tried this. I've used cold pressed grapeseed oil. I used to use petroleum jelly or Carmex but according to Wikipedia it can cause lipid pneumonia, (only for mineral based oil). And also I've been applying Comfrey ointment, since Comfrey is called the great bone/tissue knitter. I've also making my own saline solution. Both my saline and grapeseed oil I mixed with a drop of peppermint per 2 tsp of carrier water or oil. It helps in the dryness and the feelings of "empty".

  • i think i also suffer from this I live in peru and I fell very desesperated and would feel really good if some of you guys that know what to do could give some tips to improve my lyfe quality i suffer from the same symptons that you have afeter i had a cauterization that i had a year ago please send messages and i'll leave you my e mail
