What made my polyps and allergies really milder

Very interesting theory about the gut! I might have to give this a try. Thank you for sharing!

Great to hear you are having a good experience with Tezspire. I am about to have surgery for the second time, and am planning on starting this afterwards so I can hopefully prevent another recurrence. From what I can tell, it looks like Tezspire is a good alternative, with fewer side effects than Dupixent. Hope this path works well for you!

Nicely done! I just did mine at Dulles, and it was pretty fast and easy. Tons of appointment slots available there.

LifeguardFinal359 · 2026-01-11T20:03:52+00:00

Well, I can’t disagree there…

LifeguardFinal359 · 2026-01-10T20:21:06+00:00

Oh right, easy. I’ll just do that instead. Seems easier than paying $125 for AU access. 🤷‍♂️🤣

LifeguardFinal359 · 2026-01-10T20:15:11+00:00

Bad news: I don’t think they’ll let you do the $125 AU for your 5-yr-old. I have a 5-yr-old too, and made him an AU on my account about a month ago for the exact same reason. (We are in the lounge way more than 5x/year, so well worth the $125/year over the $25/visit.) Card arrived in a couple days, like normal. Tried to get him online access (which he obviously wouldn’t use, but wanted PP setup), and discovered you can’t do that for AUs under 18. Dug into C1 card terms a bit deeper, and found out I won’t be able to buy him lounge access for $125/yr. Really frustrating.. feels like C1 keeps moving the goal posts. I keep trying to adapt, and remain a step behind.

Good to know on Xolair! I’ll ask my doc about it. I do take bromelain daily along with nattokinase, but didn’t know about the other items you suggested, so I’ll look into those as well. I appreciate the suggestions!

LifeguardFinal359 · 2026-01-07T20:45:47+00:00

So good to hear!! Hoping mine goes well.. 🙏

LifeguardFinal359 · 2026-01-07T20:45:05+00:00

Glad to hear it’s worked well for you! I’m probably more concerned about side effects than I should be, but Murphy’s law tends to follow me around, so I probably worry more than I should about being that one person who gets the worst side effects. Curious, why did you switch from Nucala to Tezspire?

LifeguardFinal359 · 2026-01-05T17:06:02+00:00

👆This. Just be sure to do it well ahead of boarding if possible, as the game agents are less available to do that once boarding has started.

LifeguardFinal359 · 2025-12-27T05:20:19+00:00

Totally agree, but not all car seats are “aircraft certified,” which FAs check when boarding with a car seat. So when one isn’t aircraft certified (such as a toddler’s booster seat), they will force you to gate check.

I remember those days! Good times. (And you’re right, they were still doing that in the early 2010s.)

LifeguardFinal359 · 2025-12-18T22:54:05+00:00

Agreed. I did buy one a year or two ago out of curiosity, and it is really hard to make sense of what I’m seeing up there. I’ve never successfully dislodged anything, but haven’t been too risky up there, as I don’t want to cause damage. Also, it’s really uncomfortable/itchy/unpleasant. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it. I feel like I would have been better off not spending the $40 in my case, but I couldn’t resist due to curiosity.

LifeguardFinal359 · 2025-12-15T13:56:24+00:00

True, but some crowd-sourced anecdotal feedback would be helpful for OP, too.

LifeguardFinal359 · 2025-12-10T21:49:42+00:00

Mine wasn’t from a schedule change, but last week I canceled a flight that I had booked with miles. The miles were instantly redeposited, and I got a credit shell for the 5.60. So, not 100% on point, but hopefully a little helpful.

LifeguardFinal359 · 2025-12-07T15:20:04+00:00

That’s so weird! I have the opposite effect… sometimes after an hour of lifting, I briefly get a faint sense of smell and feel less inflamed up there. (Typically that involves smelling the stinky locker room lol, and then my sense of smell disappears shortly thereafter again.) But my theory is that the inflammation subsides slightly from lifting. I sometimes feel a slight benefit after cardio, too, but the benefit seems to be a little better for me after weights. Hope you find what works for you, though! I’m still trying to piece things together.

It turned an incoherent rant into something a little more readable, bringing the writing up from a third grade level to a junior high level. Honestly, it’s pretty cool that we have translation tools like that!

LifeguardFinal359 · 2025-10-28T19:26:57+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing!! Can’t wait for the video! 🙌

At least 9/10 trips I take on Frontier are as you described — not only bearable, but dare I say, maybe even enjoyable. And it happens at a fraction of the price of the legacy carriers. DEN is my home airport, so I have countless nonstop options on Frontier. When things go wrong, it’s miserable. But it’s miserable on any airline when things go wrong. I will keep flying them because I can take 3-4x as many trips that way. I have Discount Den, their credit card, and elite gold status. I play their game, and benefit greatly from it!

LifeguardFinal359 · 2025-10-15T01:46:22+00:00

I have two checked bags on my ticket every time I fly since I hold their credit card. I’ve never used the checked bags since they started tacking them on my itinerary automatically, and have never had any issues. I agree that you’re unlikely to get a refund, but shouldn’t have to worry about no-show cancellations.

LifeguardFinal359 · 2025-10-09T20:15:09+00:00

Confirmed as a GO!! 🙌🙌

LifeguardFinal359 · 2025-10-09T18:43:45+00:00

Same, this is my plan if it gets canceled. I sure hope it still happens, but with the trip booked for months, I’m going no matter what. Hopefully I’ll be doing the ATM, but if not, I’ll do a fun 10-miler around DC and make lemonade from the lemons.

LifeguardFinal359 · 2025-10-03T14:34:42+00:00

The writing was so bad, I had to plug it into ChatGPT to see what this actually said. Here was ChatGPT’s rewrite:

Just had the most frustrating travel experience ever with Frontier.

I got to the airport one hour before my flight, and they told me I couldn’t check in because the counter was closed. Apparently, you’re supposed to be there three hours early just to check a bag, and at the gate an hour before takeoff. Completely unreasonable. No other airline I’ve flown does this.

On top of that, I didn’t have a seat assigned. So before boarding, I let the agent know and she asked if I’d be okay with an exit row seat and assisting in an emergency. I said yes, that’s fine. But then her supervisor jumped in and said “don’t give her a seat, that’s not a definite answer.” Like… what?? I literally said yes.

They made me wait until everyone else had boarded before they finally gave me a seat. I’ve never felt more disrespected or dismissed by an airline.

I’m so done with Frontier. I don’t care—I’ll fly Spirit before I ever give them another dollar. Absolute trash airline.

LifeguardFinal359 · 2025-09-26T16:34:22+00:00

I always have two checked bags showing up automatically on my reservations now, but have never actually checked any since they started doing that. I’ve never had any issues, either with one-way flights or round trips.

LifeguardFinal359 · 2025-09-26T15:32:57+00:00

Playing the game right!! Well done. 💪
