Another Screw-up
I am finding so much
incompetence
in so many fields.
Is everyone on drugs?
Are Aliens running
the country??
I would beware of everything.
There are so many mistakes going on.
Employee's have no pride in doing the job right,
taking an extra minute. It's watch the clock
and get out of here ASAP.
No one takes the job serious anymore.
I am sharing this true story
READ IT WELL
I read this on the internet::
Zicam can affect your Olfactory nerve.
I went online, typed in "Zicam side effects"
and bam - up popped all sorts of web sites
with people reporting the same thing I experienced.
It seems that this past June, Zicam pulled the swabs
for adults and children off the shelf but not the nasal gel.
I went to my ENT and he said
the Zicam had basically "FRIED" my Olfactory nerve
and the results are most likely permanent .
He put me on a strong dose of a steroid called Prednisone
in hopes of recovering ANY bit of the nerve damage
he told me to "take this and pray."
He said he had read about the side effects of Zicam
and couldn't believe it is still on the shelf.
It isn't FDA approved. I am taking the Prednisone
and praying but nothing is happening.
I LITERALLY CANNOT SMELL OR TASTE ANYTHING!
I can tell if foods are hot or cold
I can tell the consistency and I can faintly detect if it is
salty but that is it. PLEASE, PLEASE,
PLEASE pass this on to everyone you care about.
I don't want this to happen to ANYONE else!!!!
and if you have Zicam in your medicine cabinet-
THROW IT AWAY! Please share with everyone you can.
The link below confirms.

this is only the fda/government confirmation!Click here:

Wow; it's in our medicine cabinet but now it's going in the garbage....I hope with a little time the prednisone or other will work for you, Yvonne.
Wow, that is absolutely HORRIBLE, Yvonne! I am SO sorry to hear that and thank you for telling me. I will never use it and will spread the word. I will pray your olfactory nerve damage is reversed also. Have a great weekend. xo
How terrible, Yvoone! I hope and pray your nerve will respnd to the prednisone. I am always cautious when taking over the counter medications, and I'll make sure to spread the word about Zicam.
Very sorry about what has happened to you. Hope you feel better soon.
I used to carry in my purse a small tube of nasal gel made in Switzerland. I don't recall any problems with it,and yet, the moment I spotted an alternative, fully natural nasal product in a Health Shop, I threw the swiss tube to the garbage.Why? because
any drug,no matter how beneficial, has side effects which may be obvious sooner or later.
My two little girls were given this as a prescription this week!!! boy am I glad I didn't bother to give it to them...I was worried it was addictive...no thought about the other!!!
I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks so much Tootsie.
Hope the babes are better.
Thanks for this, Yvonne. I'm sorry you're having so much trouble.
You're right, the world is being run by aliens. It's the only explanation.
I sent your post on to my family and friends. :)
Feel better soon.
Love,
Yvette
Sorry you have been affected this way Yvonne. Have not heard of it here.
