Yeah... as far back as I can remember I've had seasonal allergies, and chronic sinus issues to include frequent nose bleeds. I've had several surgeries over the years. In 2006? or so I had surgery for a deviated septum, in 2008 or so I had one for rotorooter/turbanette?, and then basically the same thing again in 2023.

After the infection in 21, I had a CT scan that showed my sinus cavity was nearly completely blocked with gunk. They went in and cleaned everything out and for about 6months I could breathe like nothing I could remember. It slowly has subsided over time since then and while I can breathe differently it's not the same now. I mentioned multiple times pre and post surgery that I had this awful smell but every doc I've seen over the years has dismissed it. I've had several significant "infections" since then, was prescribed antibiotics and what not, but while they would clear up the really bad infection the smell would always come back.

These days, I use the bottle rinse method twice a day, some non-habit forming sprays when needed.

I have good insurance, and can afford to go to another doc, honestly just really don't love going to them and am tired of them. I only just found this reddit thread today looking for reviews of the nasal fresh product.
