Said to try Dymista again because she said I do not have polyps or a deviated septum. Didn't work.
Only option left is to try Zyrtec to see if maybe it's truly an allergy or not. If that fails, then I completely give up. I'll just have to accept that I have nearly no sense of smell. It takes a very, very strong scent for me to be able to smell it. I can't even smell my own cooking, and I can BARELY smell skunks on the road, sometimes not at all. It's bad. Not that I want to smell a skunk, but just sayin.
I also do think I broke my nose when I was younger. I know it has nothing to do with the swollen part of my nose, but I have an indent. Can't tell if it affects my breathing BECAUSE NOTHING WORKS. It also affects my hearing, btw, so there's that too. Already had surgery on my ears prior to the nose issue, so hearing was already affected.
Sorry for the rant, but I've been spraying my nose everyday twice a day and nothing has happened. Maybe I'm pissy because I woke up at 1am and have been up ever since. I was bored, so I got to work at 5:30am. At least I get to leave at 1:30pm today. Meh.

Did they check to see if you actually have any olfactory senses you may not my brother has this : Anosmia is the inability to perceive odor or a lack of functioning olfaction—the loss of the sense of smell. ... A related term, hyposmia, refers to a decreased ability to smell, while hyperosmia refers to an increased ability to smell. Some people may be anosmic for one particular odor.
We all thought he just didn’t care about the rancid odor in his room now he’s an adult he’s seeing s specialist for a rare genetic condition an endocrinologist he actually doesn’t have any sence of smell at all. I don’t think there’s anything you can do about it. At least that’s the impression the dr gave my brother.
