I have bb coming from nose that smells very bad and from my mouth which is also bad. It has become alot worse within the last 2 years especially the last 4 months. I can brush my teeth and use Tung brush on my tongue and brush my tonsils and then 3 minutes later I have this nasty taste in my throat even though my mouth feels very fresh. I brush with Oxyfresh and rinse with it too. I also have pnd which taste very bad which seems to be dripping from the back of my nose. I have changed my diet which is now mostly fresh fruits and veggies and pretty much no red meat. I have eliminated dairy products and breads also. I was found to have a slight case of GERD but even most recently have discovered tonsil stones on a daily basis so after 3 weeks of waiting, I will get my tonsils removed today. I believe I may have polyps, so I will have the Dr. check for them and enlarged turbinates. I will also have him check adenoids and remove them and anything else he can that he sees is infected. Hopefully he will remove something else other than the tonsils. I dont want to have to have another surgery at another time so I will beg him to check everything well.
I dont believe that only removing the tonsils will give me the relief I am looking for since those that seem to have been relieved of BB by this operation didnt have it coming from their nose like I do. This seems to only be part 1 in a series of actions I need to take. I am very nervous about this as this is the first serious step in creating a bb free life but for the record no matter what happens, I will have to find the strength to live my life with bb if necessary. It is very hard but it is possible I guess. I have been trying to stay very postive since this seems to affect me mentally the most. As long as I have a plan of attack, I seem to be keeping my sanity. Initially I didnt know where to start and was really starting to get depressed.
My very first post was to find temp relief since I would be taking a plane trip. I recently took that plane trip that was 5 hours and it was hard but I made it thru mostly by covering my entire face with a blanket even though I could tell that the guy next to me could still smell it. It still wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. I was in class for training for a few days and that was hard also but I made it thru. Most everyone knew I was having surgery in a few days so it made it much better for me even though they didnt know it was for my bb. I still say that letting people know a little bit of whats going on has made it much easier than keeping it all inside.
So this morning, I will be having the operation. Like I said, I think its the first step in getting a bb free life. I will continue to update you all everyday. If anyone has any suggestions as to what i should eat and how to stay hydrated after the surgery, please let me know. I understand that staying hydrated is the most important thing after surgery. I have also heard that maybe taking protein drink like Ensure is good. Any other tips are surely welcomed! I will have 2 weeks off and may even take a third week depending on how I feel as I talk a lot during work and want to ensure that I am healed all the way.
For the record I would like to thank whoever created the internet which has so much info. Where would we be without it? Also I would like to thank Jimi for actually creating a site dedicated to BB and others for creating sites related to bb and other symptoms. I have learned so much and have had so much help with my personal issue. Those of you who are fighting this invisible bastard we call bb, please keep fighting.
Note to tonsils and stones: You have less than 2 hours so please have fun while you can. You will be history soon and whatever else is causing this terrible breath, please know that I am coming for you next like the fuckking terminator!
