(Btw: If I had nasal polyps I'd try corticoids first too. More often than not people relapse and end up in surgery anyway, IIRC, but it's worth a try. Nasal surgery is pretty unpleasant)
That was his take verbatim. That it was worth seeing if the steroids would basically get rid of them, and then I might need surgery anywhere from 6 months to
years to deal with it if they relapse. Now that I actually know there's a medical reason for me constantly being congested on and off throughout the day, I can know if it gets worse.
Coincidentally, he had a few words about the procedure too. My dad told me horror stories of ripping stuff out, packing your head with gauze and letting you bleed for 3 days. This ENT doctor said in the last 10 years they've greatly refined the procedure, so they cut out the polyps with surgical precision and see where they're going with microscopic cameras. That of the 5 doctors in his practice, three still do it the old way. He said it's an outpatient procedure, over in an hour and most people immediately feel better because there's so much less trauma. He almost made it sound appealing.
Almost.As for the queasiness, I have a touchy stomach so I'm pretty sensitive to how stuff makes it feel. Happened shortly after the first dose and has tapered off since then. The weird disconnected feeling I'm getting though persists.
Tomorrow morning will be fun though. I tend to wake up in a blitz and head out the door. I'll be doing so with a stomach full of strong coffee and steroids. YYEEEEAAAAAHHHH.
