I am still suffering. Lately I keep asking myself, how can everyday be a bad day????

Honestly 5 days a week I feel so depressed, frustrated and sorry for myself that I want to just curl up in a corner, and some days I do. Some days I come home after work and curl up on my sofa and watch tv all evening. I dont get up even if I'm cold. I just sit there depressed, like I am right now.

Today was another bad day.

I am just becoming familiar with TMAU. But I do not smell like fish, that I know of.

the "fish" name is an incomplete misnomer . TMAU can have many smells .

Firstly congratulaions on putting me off my lunch, secondly I still think that the tongue harbors BB germs. may have to have our tongues removed completly to stop BB, could be the only cure?

Thank you hugs for clarifying, I am looking into it.

The post title indicates there are pictures in this post and I don't mean to offend anyone. We are here to help each other.

I just wanted to give an update on my progress since I have not posted in awhile.

Candida: One doctor (ENT) confirmed that I had Candida by doing a lab test on a "swab" from my mouth. He told me he couldn't help me any further and to find another doctor. So.... I avoided all the foods excluded on the Candida diet. This was extremely difficult and unhelpful. l also found another doctor. The second doctor explained to me that any lab test done on anyone's tongue will be positive for Candida because Candida bacteria are so common. I felt like a fool.

The second doctor tested by blood and my immune system and everything was normal there. (In the past I had already had an endoscopy and tested negative for h.pylori.)

I decided to see another ENT and not mention the BB as the main problem. I just told him my other symptoms (post nasal drip, etc.) and had him try to diagnose my problem from there. He prescribed NASONEX, which helped for exactly 2 days!! For 2 days I had relief and it was amazing and scary. I was paranoid the BB would come back, and it did.

I went back to him and he suggested Allergy Testing. I assured him that I didnt have allergic reactions, but agreed to do the test anyway. I WAS ALLERGIC TO EVERYTHING ON THE TEST -- RAGWEED, POLLEN, MOLD, EVERTHING!! So now I know my BB is due to post nasal drip and the post nasal drip is due to allergies.

I am taking allergy shots and still using the Nasonex, eventhough it doesn't seem to help anymore. The nurse there told me the allergy shots can take up to 1 yr to become effective. In the mean time I am still cleaning my tongue, using a neti pot, and I am now going to try using a little baby shampoo in my neti pot.

I got this idea from another forum and I read a medical study that supported it. Just Google "nasal irrigation baby shampoo" to read the study and find more info. I am hoping this will help remove the biofilm, and then maybe the Nasonex will work again.

Please keep me in your prayers. Work is very difficult for me as I work very close to my co-workers. I have moved to a new department and have had to deal with ppl discovering my BB all over again

I forgot to add, I also visited India for 2 weeks for work. Body odor was not offensive there, it was the norm

I felt like I was able to be more friendly with people there and was actually able to "be myself" for the most part.

How was the long flight ? Do you mostly only get reaction with talking ?
No nasal odor ?

faithful1 · Post by **faithful1** » Sat Sep 22, 2012 9:12 pm

It was a total of 3 flights. One for 1 hr to NYC, the next for about 9 hrs to France, and the other for about 10 hrs to India. For both long flights there was an empty seat between my colleague and I, so that provided me some relief and I was able to sleep on both long flights. I was amazed that I was even chosen by my job to go to India because I am so quiet at work. I try to make an impact the work I do, because I know face to face the type of impact I'll probably make.

I believe I may have a nasal odor. People have complained when I haven't even been speaking.

Anyway, please keep me in your thoughts and
