Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

So here I am at work, trying to concentrate and finish my (late) project, but I cant. I'm thinking of bb all the time. And how couldn't I? I can smell this mild but disgusting stench coming from my nose and I know that everyone who is around me (thankfully usually noone's near me in a radius of 7-10m at work) feels it tenfold.

This bb curse hit me even harder these last two weeks as I'm starting to think, what if its some permanent disease caused by some kind of genetic malfunction? What if I will have it for my whole life? It already ruined my teen years, I don't plan living with this thing forever.
I'm slowly running out of patience. There has been a period where I kind of accepted this problem and tried to live with, but that was back then when I didn't realize how much it interfered with my life.

The net doesn't really help either, all I learned so far is that the human body is not nearly as good in "protecting itself from harmful organisms and stabilizing any imbalances" as the books and the teachers were touting over the years in biology back in school. Instead its a crippled system full of imperfections that loses its balance very easily and is prone to a trillion not-so-rare-as-you-think diseases that makes you feel lucky for not having one of them. Autoimmune digestive and respiratory diseases, a billion of different bacterial infections, genetic problems etc all part of a huge chain reaction that you can't find the beginning of with the latest link being BAD BREATH and other things that alter your lifestyle.

I should have started this with "Dear Diary..."

Guess finding the cure isn't as simple as we thought, but I hope you haven't given up already

Btw noptical about the genetic malfunction, there are lots of other people out there that have this. I wonder how they feel. I think life for some people is a total screw up. I'd rather be a bird flying in the sky.

No I definitely havent given up and Im not planning too its just sometimes I think why the ***k should I go through all this?

And yes, no matter how much our lives suck, just imagine if you had both bb AND body odor...

Actually I'm not just talkin about that, but I'm talkin about all the people that are unlucky, I mean those who are starving to death, aswel as those who's lives get ruined by some stupid medical disorder, and whatever you can think of.

Yeah thats true. At least in their case, there is an end.

Exactly thanatos, I think i'm pretty much good now on bb, check out my topic on Tongue Cure Found. But when i had bb and i knew i had bb, i would hold my breath the whole way cause there are so many people in a hallway i didnt want anybody to smell anything. Now i can walk down the hallway and breathe normally and it feels so great. Small things can infect our lives in a MASSIVE way.

Do u guys believe in miracles?

"There can be miracles, when you believe..."

I'm pretty desperate right now, especially after the things I've tried that failed and the number of doctors and specialists I visited. I think the only reason why I was born, is to be laughin at by other ppl.

There are no people in this world that were born for people to laugh at. Dont give up, day by day we're getting closer to the cure. Did you see any other docs since your visit in December (<-- IIRC)? Also you said you will move to the Netherlands soon? This will be an opportunity to visit new docs with different way of thinking.

The doctors, they don't give a ***k. You can tell them stories about how this problem is controlling your life and stuff and they are like "Yea whatever, it's your problem, not mine". I don't think there's anythin do to stop my bad breath. God forgot to put "Fresh breath" in my standard life package, which almost everyone has, on the day that my life was given. To be honest like most of the ppl here, the worst thing in my life has already happened, and it's not goin to be death. I've never enjoyed one min. of my life since the day I realized I had a halitosis problem.

Busted, yeah most docs dont care since they'll get their money anyway from people with normal everyday problems that wont cause them headache and dont force them use their brains. All you need to do is to find a doc that really loves his job and didnt became a doc just because of the money and the "fame".
Also, dont just go to them doc and tell them your problem and expect them to help you. Be a little more "aggresive" (without being rude of course) and ask them specific things (e.g. i think it comes from the sinuses because I read in that book that this and that and on the internet etc). FORCE them to examine you, to order xrays, ctscans or whatever i dont know. MAKE them know that this is not just one of those little problems of your everyday life but a major one and you visit him expecting a solution and DONT let him get rid of you easily (like "take these antibiotics and see you in a week" without even examining you). Also be very cautious when a doc prescribes you an antibiotic just because he doesnt know what you have, is lazy to examine you or just tired seeing you all the time (ESPECIALLY IF IT IS "DALACIN C" )
