Anybody here have Samter's syndrome: asthma, aspiring-sensitivity, and nose polyps? I've been short of breath for a year and doing the rounds of doctors. Had two different pulmos in same office who pretty much blew me off.
Just went to a new pulmo who is associated with a teaching hospital and he's great. I'm allergic to aspirin and asked if taking Celebrex could be causing this problem. I had asked two pulmos and allergy doctor this before, and they all said no. This guy said yes, it could cause a problem and mentioned Samter's syndrome. I've been on Celebrex for two years, and he told me to get off it and see if it made a difference.
In the meantime, I'm just wondering if anybody here has this, and what experiences you have had.
A methacholine challenge test showed I have asthmatic lungs, even though I have never had an asthma attack.
