just fyi

Just fyi - I have been struggling with BB for 20 years. Just saw another dr. and she dismissed any other cause besides bacteria in the mouth and recommended Breath RX - think this has made my breath worse in the past. I have always gotten good check ups at the dentist.
Here is my latest theory...
I have been getting these plugs in my nose - I think they are called clickers? They drop back into my throat every other day. They are a dark yellow. I have always had pnd. I looked it up and I might have what is called atrophic rhinitis - which causes really bad breath - the kind that fills a room - which is what my breath can do. SO, I got some Nazonex from my Dr. I am hesitant to use it though because that stuff can give me headaches. I looked up some homeopathic remedies and I saw that lemna minor and kali bich. was supposed to help. I may try these. Also, 25%glucose glycerine drops are supposedly eliminate the smell from the nose, but I can't find where to purchase these???
I bought a cheap battery operated toothbrush from Target the other day and the first time I used it there was an awful smell coming from my gums I think. I thought, "This is it...it WAS my gums!" But now when I brush the smell is gone and I still have BB - I substitute taught the other day and when I read to the class they covered there noses and one little girl said, "It smells." Once again I felt defeated...I actually cried this time...I think I want to see a psychologist.
I've had a tonsilectomy, I've tried to correct my hiatal hernia, but the doctors will not do the surgery saying that it is not that bad (I will still fight this), now I just need to get rid of this pnd.
