Hi Charles;

That's very interesting about the decongestion; I just told my Dad about it.

He had a bilateral ND March 13 2007. His face swelling has gone done alot since the surgery (it took about a month before we noticed a diff) now it goes up and down from time to time. Friday it was back up again and it made his throat feel very very tight. We actually went to the ER Fri night. They gave him IV steriod and released him with a prescription for Prednisone (a corticosteroid).

What about an anti-inflamitory; advil or aspirin; anyone try anything; wondering if that helps?

Hey the more tips the better smile

Thanks
