33, Cursed with BB, Tonsillectomy made it worse!
33, Cursed with BB, Tonsillectomy made it worse!
I was on a waitlist to get my tonsillectomy and then the pandemic hit. I did eventually get my tonsillectomy done in August 2020. I anticipated all the things that I could do once I had this procedure that I never had the confidence to do before without great mental turmoil. I could sing a duet at karaoke on one mic, talk loud, whisper closely to someone, makeout with people with joy and pleasure, and finally develop a happy and confident personality that I’ve been robbed of. I thought that most likely the removal of my tonsils would improve things if not solve my problem outright. I even considered the possibility that maybe things wouldn’t really change, but I never guessed that it would make my situation worse. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened.
My breath is infinitely worse smelling. There is now a rotten decrepit death smell that emanates from deep in my throat. Nothing helped before as far as mouthwashes, dietary changes etc and nothing does any good now. I wish I hadn’t rushed to surgical intervention. I had convinced myself that the tonsils were the likely cause even though it is estimated to account for 3% of bad breath. There is obviously some other internal source and my tonsils were likely doing their part to help fight off some of the bad bacteria. Now there’s nothing to fight it and the smell is more out in the open. I can hardly stand to live embodied with this stench and horrible taste in my mouth. The only relief is sleep. I always talked quietly before, and did certain things to try and hide my bad breath, never been a kisser in relationships, sleep turned the other way from someone in a bed, but now it is so much worse I can’t imagine trying to date or even have close friends ever again.
I wish I hadn’t gotten the surgery, but in my mind it was the only proactive way to do something about my problem. Had I not gotten it, I’m sure I would always wonder if it could have helped. So it is what it is, I still watch movies in wonder when I watch characters kiss or people talk to others with no shame and with close intimacy. I wish I never had to open my mouth again. When I try to be positive I am grateful to be in good health otherwise, and feel good in my body in every other way. I am glad not to smell horribly from any other area of my body. I can keep my outsides clean and present a nice appearance, but I will always lack the confidence to be who I might have been. I have to find a way to create a decent and meaningful life alone, despite the curse of the worst breath in all the world. I am an attractive 33 year old, coming to terms with the very real possibility of being alone throughout life because of this. It is embarrassing and isolating and hard to talk about with others. They don’t know that most of my thoughts are of my own bad breath. Constantly reminded of it because it never goes away. I try to be grateful for my early years where I didn't have this problem and for my teenage years up until 20 where I was able to date and try to have relationships with confidence.

I'm sorry to hear that you're surgery was unsuccessful but at least you've eliminated that as a possibility for the cause of your bb.
I feel the same way while watching a movie. I'm both fascinated and envious that people can randomly/passionately kiss without giving it a second thought, or ly in bed together, having a relaxed conversation without worrying about their breath. It almost seems like a fantasy and yet it's the most normal thing to do.
With each passing year, I'm consistently amazed that with all the medical and technological advancements we've made, no one has come up with a cure that would mean so much to millions of people.
I guess this issue is not high enough on the 'bucket list.'

Re: 33, Cursed with BB, Tonsillectomy made it worse!
it is a great time for halitomafia, (Katz, Speiser...) to sell their shit and swept us under the rug claiming they have the cure for bad breath. These monsters do more harm than good with their advertising......
Re: 33, Cursed with BB, Tonsillectomy made it worse!
It really sticks in my craw when these people/companies make money off people whose suffering they can't even imagine, and the false hope they give to people who are at their wit's end, praying for that one last miracle cure.
No different than snake oil salesmen, back in the day.
