I"m a little Neti Pot short and stout...

OK, here is another one of my sister Amy's suggestions...the Neti pot. For those of you who don't know, I haven't been able to smell for about 2 or 3 years. I had sinus surgery about 5 years ago and my sense of smell came back for a while but slowly faded. Every time I got on an antibiotic for something, my smell would return, for a short while. Well, with the cough thing I am still having, although not as bad, my smell did not come back when I took the Z pack. Amy had been telling me about the Neti Pot for some time and I finally decided to try it.
It is the weirdest feeling to have water run in your nose, fill your sinus cavity, and then come out the other nostril. I LOVE IT. I use it before I take my steroid spray to keep the polyps away. I actually have moments to where I can smell now. I'm hoping that the longer I use it the better my nose will get. I got Todd to try it, which is no small feat, and it took the whole pot to unclog his nose but by the end, the water was spilling out freely. Right now I'm doing it twice a day but will work my way to down once.



I found mine at Walgreens and it was $14 with a $2 rebate on the box. I'll keep you posted on how it is working.
