Interesting point, MrsD. I have used it before, although the Pulmonary Doc never said anything about tapering. Why does this have to be tapered?

He did not bring up using it in my last visit. I will address that with him or maybe the NP. ENT Nurse Practioneer put me on Astelin nasal spray and Nasonex.

Today, she did bloodwork, cultured the nasal cavity and sent me for a CT Scan of sinuses. She can see large strings of (yuk) yellow mucus hanging down the back of my throat.

I had thyroid surgery Aug 16th. My first trip to the Urgent Care was 9/13. I have had 10 doctors' appointments including that one, since then pertaining to this... Enough already...

I swear, I don't know if additional steroids are helping or hurting...
