Churg-Strauss Syndrome and Polyps

Emmy (Palmer, Alaska) on 07/08/2012

My husband battled nasal polpys for three years and was finally diagnosed with churg-strauss syndrome, a type of vasculitis that involves inflammation of blood vessels, an auto-immune disease. It can be fatal if left untreated. He tried everything to rid himself of the polpys, from hydrogen peroxide, to an anti-inflammatory diet, colloidial silver, and nothing helped his polpys except prednisone. He also developed cough-variant asthma a year after the polyps began. In all our research, we hadn't found any answers for him until his health worsened to the point where he couldn't go to his job. Churg-strauss eventually starts affecting your organs and my husband's had just started this stage. Thank God we were sent to a doctor who figured it out. For those suffering endlessly from polyps or cough-variant asthma, this was our answer, which was not what we expected.

Hi Emmy

Would you be so kind as to share with me what you and your husband did for the churg-strauss syndrome...I have been sick with this for the last 6 years and searching everywhere. Please share with me what you have done so I can get my life back too! Thank you so much! Anita

Unfortunately, Emmy left out what the doctor figured out, and the treatment they found effective for it.

Hi Pam. This is what the posters doctor figured out: "...was finally diagnosed with churg-strauss syndrome." Since treatment wasn't mentioned, maybe that will at least give you a starting point. Good luck!
