*Hi...
Beffor i start opening my life to you
... i just want to thank this website and others like it.
This has given me a hope.This has given me a way to healing and made me belive that there is god after all.

I'm a tall,blonde 20 year old girl living with a chronic Halitosis.
And am not going to lie to you i hate every day that i wake up.

I have first noticed my bad breath when i was 6 years old.
I have not been without it ever since.So you can say this is what pretty much definds me.

I have gone through a lot in 20 years of my life.I have experienced war, two times in my life , i lived in poor coditions..old houses no food almost for 7 years of being a refrugee. Lived with an a abusive stepfather since 3 years of age.Fearing for my life has becam my norm.

I can't help but think this might be a additional reason to my breath odur.

I only wish one day that i would be able to kiss someone and not smell my breath on there mouth.....
to speak to someone without trying not to cover my mouth or stand as far away as posoble without making it look that way...
to sit in the train next to people and not look for seats that are as far away from people as posoble...
to wait in the que at the shops without the thought of them smelling my breath.....
to be what a normal person is, is what i want to be beffor these years of my life are gone and am left feeling if only .and what if...
and to think that i wasted these years of my life is something that i know i will be thinking because thats what am doing ....
Im waiting for a miracle
Im waiting for my life to begine ....
Im just waiting in my room while people that i know are all living there life....and that is what hearts the moste.

While growing up i have feelt this deep emptiness, sadness and lonlyness that nothing can fill. I know that it all started with the death of my father.I dont know what it means to be loved by any man in my life.
Maybe it was because of this that i have gave my self to a few basterds through my teenage years.
I was always aware that i smelled so i told myself not to exspect too much of the guys who i sleped with.

Aproaching the age of 18 i have had to put a stop to being used because that is what i feelt like. So i stoped it all. Stoped going out, and stoped my social life all togather. I know that i could't exspect anyone to love me or evan hope that they would if i didnt love my self.

And to do that i would have to find a cure for this curse thats been put on me ..... my bad breath.

Going back to 2001 is the year when i came to Australia. It was a begining to a new life to a better life.

Today i look at my life and i am proud of what i have achived especialy with my condition...it was so so hard to do but i did it....I have finished school and got into a course which i always wanted to get into...it is my dream and the reason why i wake up every morning.But still i know that am not reaching evan close to my potensial and i know that i wont antill i get rid of this horobble problem...

But every day i wake up and am just so unhappy because it has became such a stragle to be happy or to act that way...am so tyred of living my life and i dont know how much longer i can take...
To be honest with you sometimes am scared of myself i fear that i will wake up one day and tell my self this is it....i cant do it anymore...


To go back to Halitoses i will let you know all that i know about my condition.


I CAN smell following:

mouth:
smell the odoure from my mouth and taste it...it is a sour taste ...
but it changes throughout the day and it is always present in someform or another.
nose:
i also smell it through my nose and the back of my throught that smell is also present 24 houres

When i eat milk prodacts, meat , sugar prodacts i can smell it more therfore i have became a vegan almost a year ago.And this has made the broblem go away a little but it defenitly didnt stop it, it is always present.

So now i live on fruit and vegetables, i try to stay away from bread, but i eat it .
The bread also makes the nose oder worse.
I stilll have my tonsiles, and wisdom teeth.

I have had done gatascopy
(i think thats the right spelling...sorry if it isnt).
And they found that the acid from my stomac is most likely going back to my mouth if i over eat..
The worst thing about this is that i do eat untill am not hungry and thats a big no no....Im currantly working on trying to eat more often smaller amounts.And it going not so well.

I constantly feel like there is something at the back of my throught and that most likely a thick mucasand i alway try to swallaw it...

I WENT to see following:
*Nose sinuse and trought specialist
There recomandation is to do Toncilactumy,Septoplasti,Turbinate reduction
Because i have a left maxillary sinusitis/mucos thickening on one side and i think that means infection of sinuses because one side is closed.

That would cost round 4.000.00 $ I dont have that cind of money...

i ALSO WENT TO *Australian breath clinic
and they tested my breath levals they found that i did have bad breath and it was because of the Dimethyl Sulfide that they found in my mouth and it was much higher that the normal it was 43% higher ..They couldnt help me because they only deal with the mouth oder coming from teeth

I did couple of other tests which i can't remembar the names of but which i feel are a rutine thing when you go to your local gp and the resolts came negative.
So my docture could not help me so now prety much am left to my self with no help from anyone exsept internet and people like you who experience the same problems day in and day out and know what it feels like.

The sadast day was when i went to this one doctore and he told me that he couldnt help me because it was in my mind and that i should just get gum if i feel some times the breath gets bad...and that was his recomadation without doing anytests on me or anything...thats what i hate about doctors they just dont anderstand and have not learnd enougf about this problem...

But anyways am gona finish this buy telling you what am currantly using:

for mouth:
brush my teeth and scrape my toung use tooth paste from
baking soda mixed with perxide and wother and mouthwash misture od perohide and wother which is an anormas help.

for sinuses:

sinuse relfe nasal spray(i dont realy feel like its helping me at all)

and i would grately apritiate if you could point me in right direction of what i can use for the sinuse odore to stop because i have no idea what do....

I have used all the sinuse washes under the sun and they make my oder so much worse and am not sure why this is.I have also used all the spray that exsiste in the shops and they make the oder worse as well
i also drink with wother "citrus seed extract" which helps me so much.


So please feel free to messige me back with any ideas that you have and if you have sinuse problems please let me know what you are using.



Thank you so much.







ps;
Im sorry about my spelling

Hi anna,
Have you tried taking anything to block your stomach acid production for a while to see if this makes any difference?
Read about Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) on wikipedia. This could well be happening in your case, and it can cause problems with sinuses. Speak to your doctor about it.
Other than this, you'll need to consider the possibility of having your tonsils/adenoids removed - i think adenoids are more likely to cause BB than tonsils themselves, even though we get tonsils stones produced. Tonsil stones in my opinion are a symptom of general bacterial overgrowth.
Problems with adenoids are also much more likely to cause BB which comes out thru the nose.
Also, you have been told that you have signs of chronic sinusitis. As a last resort you'll need to consider having surgery to correct any abnormalities which are sustaining this condition. At the same time the sinuses will get washed out (or even have the linings removed altogether).
Also, ensure that you've 100% ruled out teeth and gums.

*Hi...
ps;
Im sorry about my spelling

no problem,

as for our common problem, as far as i know, there is no REAL breakthrough cure out there yet. I empathize with what you're going through, but at least there is still hope for us.

People have been cured, or at least claims to have been cured. I suggest you read what others here have posted, and compare it with your situation if its the same.

Even though money is tight ( i can't afford any surgery), i'm on dietary supplements (psyllium fiber) to try and clean my stomach/colon, which i suspect is where the bb comes from. I got this from a forum member who is very helpful.

We are here to support you and pray for your (and our) cure, so cheer up and don't give up.
