"Chronic Rhinitis"

About: Raigmore Hospital / Ear, Nose & Throat

(as the patient),

Have had CT scan last year. Results were my sinuses completely blocked. was told once i get op i get my smell and taste back and will be breathing better. unfortunately last consult months later with ent doc they said that i might never get any of my senses back.

Still waiting for op date.

went for pre-op appointment towards the end of 2017 and still waiting for my op which only take 15 min according to doc.

phoned numerous times and been told the waiting list is months long.

I have had this for over 2 years non stop. My coughing now affected my lungs that the GPs think i might have asthma, copd or emphysema caused by this.

At this rate i will NEVER get any better.

I have been asked by ENT if my GP can not give me any meds to help.

Well there aren't any meds left I can take and NONE help.

If I don't get my op soon i will just go down the route of severe lung damage. Great.
