    Okay, here’s where I can help.

    So, two years ago, I had an FESS, and a septoplasty as a result of a severely deviated septum. Also on the spectrum and man, let me tell you- when I was ramping up to my surgery, I was losing my shit. Terrified of all the possible things that could go wrong! I’d also never had surgery before in my life, so I was an absolute anxiety-riddled mess. I must have copped-out like 5 times. Barely slept.

    Let me tell you, it was an absolute breeze! I’d do it again in a second. Minimal discomfort.

    The day of the procedure coming home I was in a daze. Then the following morning, just a little bit of discomfort. Was prescribed heavy pain relief that I really didn’t even need to take, but did… for about a day. Then it was just Tylenol after that.

    Use the NeilMED nasal irrigation and you’ll be all set. It’s nothing at all! You’ll feel SO much better when it’s over.

    Ask any questions, I’m glad to help.
