After I had my Surgery on my Nose last Friday to fix my Deviated Septum and a few other internal issues, like widened the sinus openings. I will Have to say I can breath again!
I almost thought I had messed everything up when I sneezed Monday morning after my surgery because I blew the stint out of the right side of my nose. but they had me come in Tuesday and they simply removed the stint from the left side as well. I still cant blow my nose for a little while longer have more healing to do but Since I had the stints removed I have been able to breath through me nose like I have not been able to in nearly over 15 year. I have slept so much better and people have told me the Tired Circles Under My Eyes have gone away, I have had them as constant companions for years. Now I have to wait 2 months before I can have a sleep study done to see if it has had any effect on my sleep apnea but from what I am hearing and feeling I think it has. But if I still have to use a C-PAP or B-PAP machine after the sleep study in 2 months i wont care because I aready feel so much better.
Fore those of You who have commented on my Blogs about my surgery and before my surgery about your own issues with a deviated Septum if you can get to an ENT Doctor as quickly as you can because it just might make you like a little more bearable to actually sleep better. because the deviated Septum can cause many other problems theat can stack upon one other to create a very big health issue.

Frustrated with my doctors.
I'm frustrated with some of the medical professionals I go to. I have a deviated septum and sleep apnea. I've told my neurologist and my PCP that I can only breath through one nostril and poorly at that, and I don't breath through my mouth. If i roll over and block the one nostril I breath through I wake up. None have listened and my neurologist said that it wouldn't fix anything, and I'm going WTF?!?!? My CPAP isn't doing anything for me and I've stopped using it because I was only getting more than 4 hours of sleep 29% of the time while using it. I'm now on a sleep aid to keep me asleep longer than four hours. That's the only thing that's worked to keep me asleep.

Now, if I could...
Now if I could only get my wife to make that followup appointment with the ENT and schedule her surgery... *sighs* She's too busy to deal with it. *sighs*
Congrats on breathing better. It was a beneficial side-effect of the nose work done for my FFS. :-)
