Subject: Fw: Zicam - True
This is true go to
the website at the end......
I need to warn you
about a product on the market and hopefully you will pass it on to as many
people as possible. I felt like I was coming down with a cold last Friday and
because
I'm around sick
family members so much I wanted possibly head it off. I used Zicam, which is a
gel nose spray which claims to keep a cold from becoming "full blown."
Immediately I
had an intense,
horrible burning in my nasal/sinus passages. The skin on my face hurt to touch
and I had pain and burning so that it hurt to move my head. My husband was
here and kept asking if I wanted to go to the ER but the thought of getting in
a car was overwhelming. My face was burning hot and my nasal passages were so
swollen that I couldn't breathe through my nose and I could see the
swelling when I looked in the mirror. It lasted for about three hours and it
was Labor Day weekend and I couldn't see a Dr. until Tuesday. I have seen two
ENT specialists in the last two days because I have lost, totally lost all
ability to taste or smell. They both told Me the same thing and suggested an
immediate course of action. This is Called "chemical trauma ' and most times
is permanent. I'm going to have a CT Scan on Monday and am on a high dose of
the steroid, P rednisone for two weeks. If there is even a thread of the
olfactory nerve left, it will help to rejuvenate what is left. I have been on
the Internet (just put in Zicam) and there are hundreds of people who have had
this happen. I am so Angry and devastated and saddened right now that I don't
know how to get Through this. I cannot handle the thought of never tasting
food again or trying A new recipe or smelling a Thanksgiving turkey. Cooking
has been an Absolute passion of mine for as long as I can remember and at the
moment I don't See the point of even putting dressing on a salad. I keep
thinking that This cannot be happening to me. I suck on a lemon, bite down on
a clove of garlic, smell a bottle of ammonia, nail polish remover, anything.
I'm starting by telling people I love. PLEASE don't use Zicam, tell
your
This was sent to me so I'm passing it
on.
