ENS Empty Nose Syndrome

Dear All,

I have posted here and have read many posts related to nasal issues and sinuses.  I went to a new ENT and he waved my symptoms off as a "quality of life" problem and told me my sinuses are clear and that he cannot help me.  Need I tell you how that affected me?  I was determined to find a reason for what I and many of you are experiencing. I was up until 1 am this morning searching and found some interesting information.  Do a search for Empty Nose Syndrome.  There are doctors that specialize in this condition and are attempting to get the syndrome accepted as REAL and not as a psychosomatic condition. 

I don't know where I will go from here but will continue to do research and possibly contact one of the physicians listed that treats the condition.

Good luck to everyone.

     Dr. Steven M. Houser of Cleveland, Ohio is the expert on ENS. He has repaired a lot of turbinates from what I have heard. Good luck.
