I'm a little late to the game. I'm 5'7", and I have terrible posture from stooping over because all my friends are shorter. And maybe a little bit because I read all the time. I wish I wore heels. I...

But my face...I don't feel like it's really getting better and I'm sick of waiting. I start thinking, "What if I'm one person that this doesn't work for?" I get all negative and I know that's the wors...

I'M BACK IN THE GAME!!! Yay! My ENT told me that he doesn't think the ear problem is permanent, but would just be another annoying side effect to contend with. He gave me a nasal spray which has been ...
